Elbow at Abbey Road

[admin_exported]

For any fans of the boys from Bury, if you didn't manage to catch it on Radio 2 last night, it's on as a red button special. Absolutely sublime.

Couldn't have timed it any better, my new TV got delivered yesterday (Pana TH42PZ85) and i purchased a Cyrus 6vs2 on saturday, had Elbow warming the speakers for a couple of hours last night, absolutely fantastic. My fave album of 08

I saw it over the w/e too via the red button. I was expecting some tennis from Melbourne and got Elbow instead. Coool!

Can you get the Abbey Road gig on CD / MP3 or is it a BBC only thing. Just listening to it now via the red button...it's hypnotic!

There is/was meant to be an exclusive cd/dvd box set of the abbey road sessions available to pre-order from end of january(out march) exclusively from http://elbow.co.uk/ but can't see it on their site as of yet

Thanks. I've just found it and ordered it.

It's kind of hidden. Highlight the W of elbow and there is a shop option. Select this then on the top of the screen select music, and then you can pre order it from there.

It's quite expensive for a CD at 20 pounds but after hearing the performance , I think it is worth every penny. I think I'll be listening to this one for years to come

The details are:
PRE-ORDER
Elbow and the BBC Concert Orchestra
- The Seldom Seen Kid Live at Abbey Road

including:
- clamshell box
- CD of the show in a card wallet
- DVD of the performance
- 4 commemorative photo postcards of the event
- 16 page booklet

Fabulous. Just listening to it on iPlayer now. Keeping me entertained while the snow piles up outside.

Cool, ordered!

not to get too topical but it's a shame they got a french company to do their website, if the flash-loading screen is anything to go by, BRITISH JOBS FOR BRITISH WORKERS!!!!! and all that...

"Seldom.." was my fave album of 08

Was great wasn't it. Isn't digital television wonderful?

Great faces for radio though...

I quite like the fact that they look like they've just wandered in from the pub!

Ok, ok, I actually like the fact that half of them look like they weigh more than I do, gives you some hope!

I picked up on that too. I found it a refreshing change.
