Elbow & The Hallé Orchestra

posting again after an unintentional long absence...

...glad you enjoyed that

...and hope to see some of y'all at MEN!

(about to check into the MEN thread...)

Hi. Has anyone heard anything official about if this show is being released on CD / DVD yet? I was fortunate enough to get tickets for the stalls for both nights and on the first night I was sitting next to the partner of the harpist in the Halle. He told me that the Halle record EVERY show they perform and so it would therefore have been recorded, plus there were several cameras in the hall on the second night, obviously for the Castlefield broadcast, but there's a strong chance they would have been recording too. Until then, thanks Andy_Landy for your bootleg.

I found when i went back 12 hours later my issue (track 9) was resolved. Maybe it will rectify itself.

I couldn't get "Mirrorball" to download at first, but a day later I tried again and it worked. Opera told me there was a Jscript problem on the host, and that's probably where the issue is.

Was just over a year ago, was waiting for my egg to boil this morning and glanced at my Halle stubs stuck to my fridge - and started pining for more live shows.

2 incredible nights.....saw Jupp locally from afar, last Sunday, while I was out driving, got proper star struck, how bonkers is that !?

I was at this gig and was seriously blown away, I noticed people asking about a DVD, does anyone know if its planned?

No, sorry Dresden.
I really don't think it's going to happen at this stage.
But we are all waiting with bated breath...
Keep an eye on the forum; if there is just the slightest hint that this may be happening, someone here will pick up on it and spread the word!

Anychance someone could be gracious to repost? My computer got swiped recently with the Halle tracks on it. Looking to redownload them?

Thanks in advance
Dann

Hello Elbow people -
can I also add my voice to those requesting a re-post of the Halle bootleg. Part of me almost wants to keep it as a memory (simple trinket locked away?), because it was SO good, but .....
most of me just wants to hear the bloody thing...

so - any kind souls out there?..

since there has been a few requests for this, I put it up again on a new blog I'm helping out with:

http://manchestertaper.co.uk/?p=46

the mp3s are all there but unfortunately all the automatic tagging seems to have gone a little awry. hrm. i may or may not get round to fixing that (largely out of my hands).

oh and for those who know me - i'm now back in the nw so hopefully catch up with some of y'all at the odd gig here and there

Here's a rather splendid vid I've just seen on You Tube re the relay from the Bridgwater to Castlefield, some great footage......there looked a wonderful atmosphere in Castlefield !
