It’s the remaining four of them, all stood at the front behind strip lights, before their tour drummer and strings join them from the second song.

That was the highlight for me. Especially since I had to move back during Fly Boy Blue due to the high concentration of obnoxious idiots around me.

Not a huge fan of indoor gigs (especially large ones with little/no ventilation), which had an effect on the whole evening, tbh

No, it’s pretty tepid

Wasn’t the best crowd/venue. Saw one woman faint and get carried out. Didn’t seem that warm to me though.

I imagine she just swooned when yer man sang about her eyes…

Saw that too. My tv was more worried about the heat than me…my biggest concern was the amount of Doncastrians able to fork out £40 a ticket to get drunk, talk loudly and ignore some music.

Nothing infuriates me more, why pay 40 quid have a chat and a drink when you can do it for free in a pub?

Saw them at Westonbirt Arboretum last night. They started with Any Day Now. Ace.

wonderful! I still remember being transfixed by that song when it first came on MTV2 way back when.

They’re supposed to be doing a secret set on The Park at Glastonbury Friday evening. My plan was to tolerate The XX to guarantee a good spot for Radiohead, but seeing the most recent setlists changes everything.

#108

As much as they had a lot to live up to the Manc Apollo gig, I didn’t really enjoy seeing their set tonight :frowning: think I may take a break from seeing them

#109

The drummer left right? Probably quite weird hearing the old stuff without him, always thought he was very important for their sound.

I guess you could say ‘eeeeeverything haaaas changed’?

Have you heard about Elbow’s premier tribute band, Arse?

Apparently it’s very hard to tell them apart.

Been rinsing All Disco lately

Just the “eh-eh-everything” line gets me

feel kinda bad for writing them off in the past. they are a legit working band that seem to be on a nice run right now. I don’t really like the Cast of Thousands to Build a Rocket run, but everything bookending them is great

The newest album is a good work, but not sufficiently reinvented to be different from what’s done before. I hope they don’t continue on the ‘coldplay’ trend of similar sounding albums one after the other.

Very nice indeed
