Elbow, Brixton Academy, November 2005

I couldn't resist going to see Elbow performing stuff from their new album, so off I toddled to London. I've never been to a huge, exclusively "Elbow" gig before but it was great. I was surrounded by people who loved them just as much as me and I almost made myself sick by singing along so loud! The set list was well chosen with a good mix of powerful and beautifully delicate stuff and I honestly can't think of one song I wish they hadn't played and one I wished they had. As uplifting as ever. They're the only band I've ever seen who manage to make you feel like you're watching your mates play down the local pub.
