Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have, 13 Nov 2009
By G. Merryweather "Dabs" (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you enjoyed the album, this is a must-purchase.

Elbow very much support the idea of an album rahter than cherry-picking tracks off iTunes and this production tells you why. A complete and coherent album, no fillers, taking you on an emotional ride with the atmosphere of a live orchestra making the hairs stand up on your arms at times.

Originally released as a limited box package, this is pretty much now the definitive version of the album for me - I haven't played the standard album since I received the Abbey Road one. Buy it if you are a true fan of real music, crafted tunes and meaningful lyrics - or just if you want to listen to a truly special moment in British music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, 18 Nov 2009
By M. J. Walker (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My experience of Live albums has been a compromise in the production and vocals, but often made up for the raw energy of the event.

This album has it all! I can't stress enough how good this is. If you were a fan of the original, you won't be disappointed buy this. The albums feels as if it was written for an orchestra. Guy's vocals are spot on and if anything, there is more emotion in them than on the original.

The DVD is the cherry on top.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is just staggering, 17 Nov 2009
By Mr. Julian D. Wallond (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While live performances can wow you with exciting energy, there are times when I have listened to live music and come away feeling that something just did not have the impact of the recording. Could be the vocals are not quite right, the balance of sound has not been mixed very well, the timing is a bit rushed etc.

A live version of the Seldom Seen Kid (my favourite album from the last couple of years) could so easily have disppointed. How wrong I was to even think this! The dynamics range from the most gentle and intimate to a sound that makes your whole body vibrate. The lyrics and musicality of Elbow is amazing, and this is not swamped in any way by over sentimental orchestral arrangements, but somehow taken to a new level that wonders the merging of the two.

If you are a fan of the original and are unsure about owning two versions of the same songs - I emplore you to get this. I really do think that this is the best live performance of any band that I have heard.
