Just over 80 days to Glastonbury 2011 and to re-live some memories I'm watching the amazing performance of Elbow from 2008. I was lucky to be near the front and will try again this year. Superb!

[gregorio87]

wonderful song

[meekz111192]

This song is so good it is nothing short of criminal that it has not had that much commercial success, definately my favourite Elbow song =D

[baronmorris]

@meekz111192

mine too! ;-)

[yohomehearties]

I rocked to that song so hard, I had to pause it half way through and take a break. Oh lawd :L

[indiemma25]

"and you lot at the back" - love it

[2slimshady]

One of the reasons why these three and Radiohead make us Brits the envy of the music world. No one can touch us.

[uiop60]

@2slimshady Agreed. I'm from the U.S. and am very jealous. But, Elbow is way less popular here than they are there. Radiohead is extremely popular here, though. I'm lucky that our local NPR station played a song of Elbow's so my brother would look them up. Also, you should add the Beatles to that list.

Muse, Arctic Monkeys and Elbow are my favourites bands

[TheLordofTheRibs]

Yeah! Fucking Elbow!

I have to agree with everybody here!

They are the shit!

[agghtee]

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

[Kazumaster]

Elbow are amazing.

[knowsis]

fucking brilliant!

[seasider1962]

That dozy bint who organises it, listed elbow last year as one of the greatest ever glasto gigs correctly. So why were they on in daylight and not headlining? Oh yeah Jay Z nuff sed

[renoo27]

This song is such a TUNE!!! Dang can't get enough. But the keybaord was WAY too quiet in this.

[rallyur]

nice 'n' sleazy!!

[enidscrew]

Elbow possibly best band ever. wemt 2 wembley arena it was the best and goin 2 wembley stadium

[tiliziinhap]

so original!!! :)

[dwmod1]

Anyone who knows anything about music should recognise the genius that is Elbow...!!!

[devaguy]

My favourite song from my favourite band, what more can I say.....

[spikearchie]

bit of a sexy good bastard song...!

[PhlidgeFilms]

the bassist is fantastic

[Mugfungus]

I love seeing Guy Garvey being so into it that he's playing air bass on his Strat. Top marks to the man, the song and the band, and congrats on the Mercury.

[biliousfrog]

He's not playing "air bass", he's playing the guitar. There's a lot of subtle things going on in Elbow's songs, Guy plays some simple one-line guitar parts in this song behind his vocals as well as the guitar/vocal solos in the middle and end.

[Mugfungus]

Yeah, I realised that some time after posting. Oops!

[chelscot]

this is a brilliant song.

[biscuttine]

I love the Band, I insanely love this song too... not sure if I really mind either Elbow is actually underrated or not, same for a couple of band I like much like Cake or Wilco or... that's my private and unshared mid aged man pleasure ;-)

[chelscot]

i do believe that this is the best version ive heard of this one

[Dea7hLeprachaun]

This vid should have 1000 times more views than it has. I know I keep repeating this, but I really do hate when underappreciated bands get ducked under the social radar..

But as Legzakimbo2002 said, the cat is out of bag. Give them time and they will flourish..

As for the concert.. I truly am at the peek of my happiness when I'm listening to incredible bands playing live. It's beaultiful.

[chelscot]

stick to this stuff...and 4rGo ballads!

[chelscot]

crackin song and top drawer band

[chelscot]

spot on song

[Legzakimbo2002]

Sad to say it now, Elbow were a little known best kept secret, the cats out of the bag now. Oh well.. a huge congrats to them thou, they are brilliant and my joint fave band with Radiohead.. Anyone for the Elbows Roundhouse gig in October?
