The only problem I have with this is the realisation that Anna is getting so popular so quickly that after this year's tour is over this is the only way most of us will get to see her and the band - as tiny matchstick people in the far distance.

@BlogBust3rs It's a hymn for chrissakes, what do you expect to hear? A trombone? Castanets? Get real!

@mylsyr The lady has a name and it is Mally, let's have some respect here. In any case there was no need for that vitriol. Many of the 'bass' notes on AC's songs come off the Telecaster, though not so much on this song.

Mally with make up!

Looks like the power went out in the crowd. Who are these dozy southerners who chat aimlessly and stroll around like zombies while the world's best band is playing? See you in Manc Win, where there's a real audience waiting

@pimphofoo I think this was just three days before he was hospitalised with sinus/bronchial problems in Stockholm, prompting the remainder of the European tour to be cancelled. At Dalhalla in Sweden last June he thanked the Swedish doctors for having saved his life.

@yontataye Think she's 28, not that it matters. If you're good enough you're old enough, and she is

@oniric85 Not the Amsterdam gig May 2005 with the wonderful strings from Richard, Sarah and Owen Pallett and the dramatic ending?

And nice to set it to France Gall's Ella Elle L'a, great music, video, film and actress.

This must have been one hell of a gig, on every song they're living every second of it, like it's their last. Something in the water at Belfort?

@enesseness Take it this is a reference to the extra violinist? Thought it was him but couldn't be sure.

As a manc I should support New Order in this debate. And most covers aren't as good as the original. This is different. And where did WB get that sultry voice from?

@49tonio Agreed, and i've got seven years on you. Probably the best performance of NCG I've seen online. Sarah and Marika, red hot.

@ArcadeFireTube Hm, interesting. At Dalhalla in Sweden on 30 June 2010 Win said he'd nearly died in Stockholm in March 07 and thanked the doctors there for saving his life. He didn't sound like he was kidding.

Almost a case of his own lightnin' bolts a-glowin'! (probably the last song, as usual)....

Not content with the regular band members being able to play just about anything, up pops Colin Stetson from the back and plays the xylophone with equal aplomb to Regine and Wil. Unbelievable. Big shame those two guys didn't make the 2010 tour. Just noticed the similarity in the harmony with Subu...

When Sarah gets into her stride forcefully stroking that violin it's the sexiest thing in rock.
