Radio 2 giveaway

Oh. My. God.
Tower Crane Driver !!!!!!!!!

Tower Crane Driver was amazing. Closed my eyes during the really lush instrumental parts, and with the acoustics in the studio i got shivers all over me, was out of this world.

Couldn't get to work today because of the snow so watched TCD about 50 times!! I can't stop! It's just beautiful. What do you think Guy is saying to Pete at the end of it?

Absolutely beautiful live performance. I live outside of the UK, so I'm unable to view the performance but I'll be waiting impatiently for the box set now.

I really hope the CD doesn't sound like this. I can't see this passing the TurnMeUp! certification, the compression is horrid, so much so that I started listening to Starlings and had to stop. I think I'll wait eagerly for the CD!

urgh... compression

As I stated before, what I recorded was a radio rip and will most likely sound nothing like the CD and DVD version. You can't expect the finest quality from a 65-66kbps radio stream, can you?

Yeah I know, I expect that the compression is applied by the BBC more than whoever mastered the recording anyway, as both Radio 1 and 2 are heavily compressed for broadcast.

It's so disappointing on Starlings though, I had the stereo up nice and loud, waiting for the massive brass to come in and blow me away, and it just whimpered.

Tower Crane Driver !!!!!!!!!

I just said 'holy SHIT'' out loud, on my own. I don't quite know how I missed it last time I watched, but it's so huuuge.

I watched it all of Sunday on loop, bless the red button, finally it has something to offer me.
It was amazing and so emotional, TCD I cried throughout. Now I can't wait for the DVD!! I wish I was in that audience that gig will go down in history!

Stunning
I've nothing else to say. I'm going watching it again.

Lol, has anyone else noticed that Richard Jupp has pretty much destroyed his fluffy drumsticks during Tower Crane? He looks at them at the end with a "did I do that?" expression on his face At around 35:50

Actually, there are some great expressions throughout, from Jupp's looks of surprise, to the choir's looks of pure joy, Guy and Pete's grins at each other and the percussionist's looks of boredom. Oh, and the fat woman with the trumpet who played Summertime has some good ones as well.

Also, the point where Guy is censored in Some Riot seems to only apply to his audio stream, and if you listen really carefully you can actually hear the word "f*ckers* on someone elses mic.

Jupp looks like a funny bastard through out

i did note the sticks were messed up, and also his singing expression towards the end of ODLT are priceless

I also love it at the end of some songs when Guy stands there waiting for them to finish; tilting his head and looking up

Lol, yeah, that made me laugh as well.

- watching the conductor! I love the knowing wink or satisfied grin he shoots him at the end of a couple of them too.

I think my favourite grin is Pete's just after the climax of Grounds though. Can't blame him - absolutely exhilarating!

grounds was pretty awesome.

just POW!

amazing stuff throughout a couple of my obsevations were
A. how Beatles ish they sounded with added strings, amate of mine who had never heard of Elbow when i played him a couple of tracks from SSK said "mmm they sound like the Beatles" and they had never reminded me of the Beatles at all but I could definitely hear it loud and clear on the Beeb session.
B.They sounded really filmy and I love that stuff Guy should be thinking Bond theme
C. Have they been spending some dosh never seen the Gibson 335 before.
D. How much they seemed to be enjoying it all

and did you know trivia fans that it was Hawleys birthday during the session and Guy organised for orchestra and choir and band to give him a massive version of happy birthday to you awwwwww, top lads one and all.

Since the Radio 2 video has been pulled. You can find the vid HERE

Which I think means that all of you non-UK people can also see the vid.

I just read on oasisinet.com that Trinity Street has ceased trading.

I'm afraid this is also bad news for the Elbow CD/DVD Boxset ?

That's how Oasis is dealing with the issue. Unfortunately, Elbow hasn't contacted the fans about what happened yet so we won't know how they'll deal with the situation. I'm assuming they'll be able to honor everyone's pre-order just like Oasis is able to do.
