[steckmaster]

love the melody and the lyrics. It's just a sublime tune!

[maaobaa]

Love This.

[thesirdanny]

1:07

[window404]

best song of the band



[Lynx0359]

What are the backup singers saying @4:05-4:36 ?

Anyone know?

[lanunn2000]

@Lynx0359

I've been wanting to know what they're chanting for years now!

[figarca]

Incredible performance! it´s very amazing

[alerich82]

This is actually one of the best bands in the world.

[ansepe74]

Bieber-fans on acid usually hit the "Dislike" button :)

[SpartanM621]

What guitar is Mark using? 

[Spider24534]

@SpartanM621

I think it's a Godin guitar but I don't exactly know what model it is

[jcrm05]

I haven't even seen the video and already hit the like button. They are that great.

[briggsyrocks]

Definitely a sly wink given by guy to the backing singers at the end of the first verse.

[boggyb]

@briggsyrocks they love it aswell

[ethosbass]

Two people were trying to research tennis injuries...

[karlcos]

Seriously, who would dislike this???

[starky2112]

one of the fullest sounds i have ever heard live.

[psychopam]

AWSOMENESS!!!! I love you guys!!!

[expojah]

Garvey fancies the blonde.

[UDRob]

@expojah who doesn't?

[maccatoyou]

@expojah Don't we all !! I don't think i'd let her out of bed ! lol..

[ansepe74]

The one who could be the fly on the wall that one day...

[Cody111079]

The blond one is clearly having a brilliant time. I would too.

[fishfingerrr]

@Cody111079 - I think it's safe to say she's an Elbow fan :)

[haroldgubbels]

from holland

still going strong

[12345l6789]

those godin guitars are too special

[Dean0017]

Hey awesome percusion guys!!!!!!!!

[nessieland]

Luv Elbow!

[p911993e]

Brilliant ! !

[runall32]

i cant wait for the new album!!!

[U2SSana]

I found Elbow by U2. This is a fantastic band, they deserve to be more famous than Linkin Park or so..

[MrCobhead]

@lfhdez - I found a torrent of it. Problem is, it isn't this version. It has the full orchestra backing, and none of the interview stuff...I think this one sounds better. If this from the limited dvd set?

[uiop60]

@MrCobhead That's the 'live with the BBC concert orchestra' version. Also great.

[racheltafoya]

Live performances are so tight from this band. Love the vocal harmonies. How often do you see recordings of live studio sessions that sound this good? I'm so glad to have found Elbow :)

[TheDarkonDoza]

For me, even better than the recorded version

[maddmudda2]

thx ...love it

[georgeberrison]

check that girl headbanging on 3:46 haha.

[warzendan]

its a microkorg mofo

[jasonlockwood1]

ha ha look at 2:30! He's fuckin that bird

[MrCobhead]

Quick question - I've been looking for the entire video file of this performance, but all I can find is the Abbey Road with the full choir and BBC orchestra. Where can I find this entire performance?

[lfhdez]

@MrCobhead I too want the full thing. I wish it would be easier to get ahold of performances on video by them.

[lfhdez]

@MrCobhead where did you find the bbc one?

[Malzarin]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Everytime I hear it I am taken back to that love that was not to be mine.

[Bushb0y]

I think it's a MiniMoog he's playing.

Could be wrong though

[warzendan]

@Bushb0y its a microkorh

[bertieboop100]

who, indeed, is the female vocal harmony.......in the centre......?

[nubossman]

I agree with GCLU! Great Tune!

[Zangoose69]

Whats that piano thingy the jamaican looking guy is playing??

[uiop60]

@Zangoose69 It's a microkorg... He's english... He's Pete Turner, the bassist.

Go play pokemon.

[leezonia]

That beat at 1:08 0_0 SICK!!

[monnikamiha88]

@findingNemolova, Agree! Absolutely!

[propagandagroup]

Only like the best song I've heard in the past 10 years.

[ashwinroyan]

kinky as hell

[missteearepee]

"we're really lucky to still be mates"

it's as if it's not enough that you write, sing & play Gold,

you had to be made of Gold too...

the best find i've had in months/years.

[jiff1971]

AMAZING

[radiohead00000]

Really great band.

[Pokerking4128]

ideal comment

[zakizx]

Best song ever......

[Threeballer97]

Do I have time? A man of my calibre Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager No. And I dealt with this years ago I took a hammer to every memento But image on image like beads on a rosary pulled through my head as the music takes hold and the sickener hits; I can work till I break but I love the bones of you That, I will never escape This may be my favorite verse in all of music.

[Greapher]

@Threeballer97

Another person whose favourite this is :D Much respect.

[elnegrosombra1]

I needed fresh music today and I found this. Thanks

[AQueenOfTheStoneAge]

This song is a lullaby to paralyze

[Tyho67]

Amazing performance. Love it.

[palisandr123]

great band

[KbombAndJdawg]

came across them on sundance today , I'm very moved by their sound. BRAVO!

[Stoutitout]

WOW!!! I'm going to buy everything they produce. 35 years of playing Bass I haven't heard many songs like these. The dynamics, intelligence and conviction.

[LondonSB71]

This song kicks arse........I love his voice & his deliverance.....rosary through my head.......ect;ect x

[darthAquila]

Perfect.

[sancag93]

We need to forget about how american music has monopolized this world, and bring forth more world wide oriented musicians, so we can appreciate what the world of music can really give us.

I'm so glad I found this, they are wonderful. His voice is very similar to Zucchero....

[x0legenddddx0]

not every american group is crap you know. but yeah, support the diversity.

[World11Show]

I don't think he was trying to say it was rubbish he is just saying that there is too much american music in the world which is fine but there are good bands from other parts of the world that hardly get any credit

[sharoncallow1]

'and I can't move my arm ...for fear that you will wake'...LOVE IT

[stonegossard1979]

vaya directo... me quedo flipando... sin duda una de los mejores bandas en directo del momento...

[colscols]

whats the unit the black bloke is playing ?

[waynebigfish]

Korg- micro korg. Great bit of kit:)

[DancesWithVaginas]

Wtf? Does the singer blow a kiss to the blond at 2:34?

She's mine ya basterd! ;-)

[adrian15121972]

cos he's shagging her!!

[TheLordofTheRibs]

"Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day"

[MrMusicMan34]

These boys are on it!

[cowbellplz1]

can't believe how they're all singing in tune like that.. its soo perfect! That said.. didnt expect anything else from the best band in the world.

I listened to this song 1000's of times and i can say i'm still liking it more each time.

yeah i'm a fan

[zolzol7]

the blonde is soo sexy !

[keeprighton2007]

i think you'll find that he's ginger...

[spiegalr]

Guy's voice is like buttah.

[factsforwhatever]

These lyrics are poetry. Amazing voice.

[ANTONIVSLVCIVS]

Great performances !!! I like it a lot !! Applauses !!

Antonio

[Bartleby1701]

A sack....

[Bartleby1701]

"Cramming commitments like cats in sack"

LOL...love it. Great visual for my stress level right about now. Thank you Guy. Will you marry me?

; )

[GCLU]

In a world where random crap bands that can't sing at all get nominated for awards, better guys who don't rely on autotune and such devices are left in the dust.

Elbow deserves the praise,

[Johnny222bad]

yeah channelfavorite, when you hear this dude sing, he's the fucking bollocks! just like doves though, these bands are tooooo much, best bands out at the moment, best albums at the moment!

[ChannelFavorite]

I have not heard any rough edges on this guy's voice. Almost perfection.

[jcnhaven4me]

cross between Teaparty and Gabriel for sure..awesome music..way to go guys.

New canadian fan and more to follow for sure.

[findingNEMOlova]

Coldplay should be opening for Elbow.

[ChannelFavorite]

I was enroute to the Monday night Boston concert and someone told me that elbow was opening and I was surprised that no one had heard of them. Their show was brief but they certainly were spot on with their performance of some rather tonally complex music.

[GazzaGlitta]

YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bertieboop100]

@findingNEMOlova ....coldplay should be opening to an empty, deaf, hall......we have heard it all before.......

[mindonmusic]

@findingNEMOlova I was going to say that. Absolutely agreed!

[aurbaez]

@findingNEMOlova you're totally RIGHT!

[smorr08]

Cross between Genius & Peter Gabriel....world beats, haunting voice....awesome, seen the coldplay show...new fan for sure...

[Serimna]

Love this song

[msbbi]

saw them open for coldplay last night. Elbow were great. cross between ultravox and t4f. I am a new fan for sure.

[ybrik222]

I was there too. This song kind of reminds me of Radiohead's "15 Steps". Still manages to be unique, though,

[GazzaGlitta]

Sorry but then opening for Coldplay offends me.

[MetaScizor]

Same, as anything related to Coldplay offends me...

[MojoPin07]

Yep.

Chris Martin should wish to do mic-checks for these guys.

Hearing his intro at the beginning was cool.

[TharrGuardian]

Elbow is genius. The guy's voice is one of the best voices ever.

Seriously. Live is even better than recorded, you don't see this alot.

AWESOME band.

[SephtyGreggz]

It's took me a while to realise elbow are actually a great band. Musically they are streets ahead of everyone else, they mix a slightly classic style of music with catchy hooks and riffs and lyrics that the youth of today can understand and relate to. Great band.

[Adrianmray]

What can you say but pure genius....

[chrisrocks2010]

For me, this is the song that's tentacles stretch out and take me 5 years ago and 3000 miles away.

[GarethW09]

Don't hold this against me, but the lead singer reminds me of my dad.

Love this track, there's a wonderful flow in the phrasing of the lyrics.

[petaboil]

why would anyone hold that agaisnt you?

no one here knows your dad

=P

[ContinoBricchio]

hey, i have the same microKorg :D

[Coolshitdudes]

me too.

Great band, i've seen them live. Fantastic!

[kittyspurrr]

These guys and Guy are so awesome...

Haunting instrumentals and just grab my head and heart with the whole lot in this song

Love this band

[jessieaburrito3]

This is real music.

[tnbonner]

hell yes it is.

[petaboil]

are the blonde singer in the middle and the lead singer going out or something.

in this users videos of other elbow songs they keep like winking and smiling at each other

^_^

[dermotoblong]

haha so youve noticed that too!!

[petaboil]

indeed, i htink that they would make a good couple tobh =D

[xsvsx]

No, they're not. Guy is in a relationship and head over heels with somebody completely different.

Maybe it's a standing joke or something, or maybe they're both just really flirtatious...

[unboundbysin]

it's just a musica connection. stella and guy are both really talented & she's helped and been around the band quite a bit. obviously it shows, but yeah, guy & emma are the real lovebirds.

[bigal3690]

musical genius's and top lads! makes ya just want to go for a beer with them in the sun with a 6 string. love it thanks

[Luv4Loulou]

flippin eck, this band are brilliant.

[ofbullet]

..like the first cigarette of the day.

these guys know how to emphasise a good feeling and it shows in their musical genius.

[gcujustpoppingin]

Fag and a coffee in the garage before they get up. Sets me up for the day

[lillipurcat]

absolutely stunning.

awesome

[SaddamsStuntDoubL]

It's a spine-tingler every listern.

[gcujustpoppingin]

This is their finest song. Better than sex. If u are over 40 the sense of exqisite ennui of an unfulfilled relationship from a million years ago can catch you in a second by just a brief moment or two of an old song is delicious. K I loved the bones of you.

[Luv4Loulou]

you said that beautifully.

[gcujustpoppingin]

sometimes u think that life has wrung everything out of u u ever felt then this song comes along and u realise that u do still have a soul. Thank u so much for comment my wife a nd kids hate me playing this

[Luv4Loulou]

Keep playing it! It's good for the soul and good for your health! :)

[yummyloly]

elboww!!!!!!! whoooaooo in abbey road....tat is the bomb

[imperial1237]

Outstanding, the world stands still when they perform. Love it! :o)

[kingofthephonies]

It's such a shame that they are opening for Coldplay. Elbow is a billion times more deserving and creative. All the power to them. Coldplay can suck it.

[myphoneisretro]

they are so so good

one of the best bands in the word

[princessofomaha]

Cannot wait to see them live! I love ELBOW!! Why don't others know how talented they are?

[yummyloly]

every1 makes fun of music =(.....tatz juzz mezz

[princessofomaha]

I have been a huge fan of Elbow for years and am glad to see they are getting more recognition! I decided to bite the bullet and buy tickets to their show in L.A. in July even though I live half way across the country! I might have to road trip to their other concert in Wisconsin too!

[W0RTHLESSMAN]

these guys are definately refreshing.

can't stop listening to "the seldom seen kid"

[poppies24]

Does anyone else think that the first bit sounds like 15 Steps by Radiohead?

[trackstar3287]

no not even close

[eezlewax2]

it does have a kinda similar salsa beat at the start :) hadnt really noticed that before u said

[lukasdatree]

Not sure salsa is the correct word. It's just a 6/8 beat

[eezlewax2]

wotever hahah

[Besitzen]

And 15 Step is in 5/8...

[myphoneisretro]

not really

the radiohead is more electro

[richardgordon111]

I saw them tonight at Wembley..best band in the world!! Garvey has to be one of the nicest most sincere people in rock.

[suebov24308]

I'm going to see Elbow tonight at Wembley Arena. So excited I can't wait......I'll let you all know how bloody brilliant they are later...!!!

[hooch87]

refreshing bit of honesty at the beginning.

[suntachi]

we went to see these guys last night and they were amazing.

best band ive seen for awhile loved it

[smith3451]

In Plymouth? was awesome!!!!

[greenblueprints]

Elbow is so freaking amazing. I love this band.

[JasperJohnny]

I can't believe how unreal these guys sound live. Especially how amazing Garvey's vox are.

[bhg311]

chills all around on that one

[pulpapple]

thank fuck there are finally more videos of elbow on here. why did it take so long for everyone to see how great they are?

everyone wanking over bullshit london bands with tight trousers and no talent i suspect.

love you elbow. xxx

[submental1977]

He uses Godin guitars W/ a piezo pickup to get that acoustic/electric blended sound.

[deakinkmd]

everything one could possibly expect from an English band.. superb

[cliveports]

probably a Gibson 335

[jurhei]

it's so great the lyrics the singing fantastic

hope they are coming to belgium

[xxJonnyCxx]

he sounds so much different than when he talks xD

[Antimasonry]

the phat bass on the analog instrumental is class gives it mysterius but serious meeningfull very nice touch

I live in Manchester I need to go and see these guys

[gazboat]

A reply to everyone saying positive things about this amazing band...Guy Garvey writes the most beautiful lyrics...he speaks volumes to anybody who ever felt love or hurt after losing it...Great songwriter, just brilliant xxx

[12345l6789]

great band - great song - i love them to bits

and, the blod girl in the middle is FIT!!

[ritualfunk]

shes happy , its unusual.

[sonsofstanhope]

cool but not even... i love it shows spinal chords,,,back bone ,,

these guys rule my world at the moment their speaking to me.. English no how to do it...mood.. feel..

[lapointeric]

Have no idea why these guys aren't world famous 10 times over!!!!

[12345l6789]

hate it if they were though

our little secret :)

[Reez070]

WOOHOOOO!!!!

[mather1990]

gotta admit id never heard of elbow till i saw the traler for burn after reading.  then i bought the album and i was just blown away.

[CeefaxGuy]

agreed they are amazing! before winning the mercury i thought theyd be yet another under-rated class act but am glad others are now njoyn the genius of Elbow

[NOODLElol]

can anyone see what chords he's playing at 1:35?? capo on the third I think? a reply/PM would really be appreciated.

[TwoSpotGobi]

This is fucking amazing

[soupinabox]

this song is my favorite elbow, sort of radiohead chords and solo, the vocal presence is awesome, love the Latin vibe percussion, and of course Elbow's very poetic and aesthetic lyrics

[telytubies]

I've got shivers, but i cant tell if its the music or the ice-cream...but i really hope its the music!!!

[12345l6789]

IT IS!!!!

[kaiser1778]

Thank you, than you, thank you!

[adjustafresh]

Elbow is the best band people have never heard of
