I just dont get all the fuss about Elbow (nor Radiohead), not sure Guy Garvey has got a buzz in him.
You’ve obviously never ever really listened to anything they’ve recorded, or seen them live.
They’re about the only band I’ve ever seen who can make a small venue seem like a stadium gig, and a huge venue like the O2 Arena seem intimate and club-like. That’s entirely down to Guy being both expansive and at the same time like your best mate down the pub.
I’ve even seen him give away his own Fender Strat to some random bloke in the audience whose birthday it happened to be!
I’ve actually just finished watching the Radiohead set on my iPad through a pair of high-end canalphones via the Lightning port, and it was bloody amazing, the sound was superb, and the camerawork outstanding, about the only thing at Glastonbury that I have any regrets not seeing, as I’ve never seen Radiohead.
