Gig reports.. CONTAINS SPOILERS

My favourites are sticking! Whoop whoop! Was the intro music still there, though, Hotblack?

Wheres

Spoiler:

im loving the fact theyre playing

Spoiler:

now!

EDIT by MT: Whether you say what IS on the set list, or what ISN'T, it's still a spoiler!

Can we please try and keep spoilers hidden?

It doesn't bother me but some people prefer to be suprised.

sorry MT i totally forgot!!

Is Tinwal immune from this tyranny??!!

That one must have slipped through.

And enough of the tyranny digs...I think I reached my limit with the OT debacle

haha. I think we all did

Spoiler:

thats all I've gotta hope for. fingers and toes firmly crossed

EDIT by MT : Now you are IMPLYING!

They played that song with Richard Hawley when we saw them in April. It was cool! Don't reckon they'll do GUP and ODLT this at the same gig too often though... hope not anyway, it's a bit of an overload.

im not too good at this whole secret thingy.

and neithers Jonny by the looks of things!!

Well, Jonny is only speculating, so that's OK.

I think I might give up anyway, and take the word HIDDEN out of the thread title.

haha

and, i dont think Gup and Odlt would be an overload.


oh and when was the last time they played forget myself live - anyone know??

They played it at Porchester Hall, don't know if it's been played since then

They played Forget Myself, GUP and ODLT at Leeds! ... It was overload on the crowd roaring for me. But it was still awesome.

ah well. after the roaring, they can melt to scattered b n w

not sure how to post links ; put that down to a general lack of interest in posting links or stupidity.

Just got in from the Truro gig.
Spectacular.

Only downside was not being allowed the setlist at the sound-desk because 'it had notes on it' (and is therefore unfit for my eyes, somehow?)

Set was immaculate - so glad they played Red. Started with Starlings, ended with Scattered.
Incredible stuff. Fingers crossed they're at Eden next year.

I like this bit

Quote :

Elbow manage to command the audience's attention; no one talked during even the most tender moments of a song - and why would you when you might miss some of Garvey's beautifully crafted lyrics?

That's definitely how it was on Tuesday night as well.

It was certainly being played on the spring tour. At least it was played at Oxford IIRC

Not every night - it wasn't played at the Manchester gig, or the Festival Hall, but that was a different gig all together

Forget Myself was played at Birmingham too. I'd be well happy with it in the setlist, but agree with either one or the other of ODLT/GUP.

Here's an, um, "interesting" review of the Cambridge gig. No-one here is like that, surely? At least no spoilers, and glad to know she was converted.

The exictement is mounting - still a while to go till LIverpool, though...

Am absurdly excited...

Earlier, a female friend and I had created a cruel stereotype of the Elbow-head: definitely male; definitely muted; a CD alphabetiser and Q magazine reader; a piner for lost love and lost youth; a silent crier on A-roads.

...well, sad to say, thats not a million miles away from me I'm afraid, although thankfully that's only one side of me. There's far more to me than that.

lol
I don't think I've ever read Q...
