SOUTH BANK SHOW

i've been trying to get the recordy bit to work on the dvd - it's just beyond me. I suppose that's the trouble getting a second hand doovde without instructions. Thank god for sky plus.

If I manage to find a digital copy of the show, I'll post links here. Megaupload might be the best host for it, so I apologize ahead of time if it's not the sort of site you'd want to download from.

I shall also be recording it and should be able to make a .avi or .mp4 file of it if anyone wants it.

(I don't know if I'll be able to stay up to watch it live - the excitement of new Dr Who and Top Gear as well on the same evening may be just too much!!)

Wasn't intending to watch tonight but was just channel hoping before going to bed and caught Station Approach at MEN - including audience spot of virtually everyone here. ohmyword.

I'm loving this. Absolute class!

Without wanting to spoil it for those not watching SBS go out now, it's substantial enough to keep us all going for a while. : )

(eyeball Ticky and a dozen other peeps!)

The classic....radiator...scrape...lol

This is JUST FANTASTIC!!

Loving it.

Spotted Ticky and Jones!

My daughter next door to me keeps banging on the wall to get me to stop screeching. I really liked the Puncture Repair cartoon/film.

I am SO going to regret not getting an early night, but I'm enjoying it too much to go to bed.

It is absolutely great to have interviews that aren't just re-hashes of the same old soundbites.

That was more like it
...some of their other songs getting mentioned, and a couple of teaser clips of the Cuba film that we've never seen.

Superb programme - great to see everyone in the audience.

Spotted Al, Ticky, and a couple of others i think!
Great night, great program, great band.
So glad Garve has put the bleach behind him!
I said it before, i'll say it again, it just goes to show what can happen when you keep on doing the thing you love and success couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of blokes.

Well that was jolly marvellous and something to watch over and over again. Is it too much to hope for a DVD of the MEN gig? There were enough cameras there.

Oh and I'm pretty sure I spotted Kim's friend Jonathan high-fiving Guy then giving him a tummy rub as he passed.

Yes - I think that was him. I also saw Sunday Girl very briefly.

South Bank Show - Beatles to Elbow. Not a bad epitaph.

What a show that was, was fantastic to see really how far they've come to get where they are, of course cried when Friend of Ours was discussed and played, though my favourite part was when they got into the car and heard Powder Blue was on thinking oh we've left a demo tape in, only to realise it was been played on Radio 1 by John Peel!!!

They really do deserve to be where they (finally) are now

For you Ticky: the cartoon bit of Puncture Repair came from here, if you watch it through.
Have you seen the DVD of the songs that came with LOTFW album? (is on youtube too)

I recognised nearly all the front row, lol.

That's great - thanks so much LWD.

What a Sunday Night.

Started with Dr Who and finished with Elbow. Loved every minute - every second. Good to see so much footage from MEN. Got to watch it all back again and again. Spotted my daughter, Sam - might see me when I watch it again - I was just in front of her.

Well done Melvyn for such such a great show.

The first chapter of the LOTFW dvd: and the rest follows, if you havn't seen, and want some more Elbow before you go to bed.

Aaaah....!
What a wonderful program and such great memories of an amazing night!
And they showed a bit of Weather to Fly !!!
Great to see all those familiar faces at the front!

I wouldn't have minded less MEN arena in the show, after all we were nearly all there anyway, for more early stuff, there was a bit of a jump from 'Asleep... to LOTFW album in the history.
Bless Craig for his demonstrations including 'I've got you number' and Guy for at least mentioning 'Snowball', out of non album songs.

I really hoped it might be on ITV.player but unfortunately it isn't. Did anyone manage to get a recording?
