Some bands are absolute crap when taken out of the studio. Elbow isn't one of them; they are amazing wherever you put them!

Is it true this was the performance that won them the prize?

I don't think so. From what I remember, the decision is made before the awards ceremony.

The performances aren't considered. I'm not sure if they're even watched by the judges.
I remember Jools saying at this ceremony "they've been debating it right up until a few minutes ago", or similar.

When it goes into the "send up a prayer in my name" bit, i literally dont know what to do. The strings get louder and soar. I just dont know how to react. I'm left speechless every time. Absolute sonic emotional perfection.

If you like this version, listen to the bbc philharmonic/abbey road version. That bit coupled with an orchestra and choir is unbelievable.
