Quite simply one of the greatest live performances of all time.
Guy Garvey is an absolute national treasure. Brilliantly talented, but also very funny and down to earth. Can listen to Elbow all day everyday. Great reaction. Highly recommend ‘Great Expectations’
Yes, 1000% agree - Great expectations is a truly beautiful track.
@@chrismartin2663absolutely. Great Expectations is in my all time top 5 songs ever, by anyone.
I think even the orchestra had goosebumps! What an amazing song! Powerfully brilliant
Guy is amazing. He's up there with Thom.
Great review! Lucky enough to see Elbow live a number of times. This version is the definitive version of this song! Goosebumps stuff at the crescendo. The whole reworking of Seldom Seen Kid album with Orchestra and choir is a triumph 👌
Hey, I'm absolutely made up you liked this Greg, thanks for reading to this. I've a big grin on my face right now.
That moment with the crescendo as Guy sings "Send up a prayer in my name", that 'Wow' was what I was hoping for, but I also feel like its what the moment deserves too, so powerful and so well done. Its good on the cd version, but this goes to 11.
Elbow are one of those bands where I may not like every song but every album also has a handful of absolute gems where they completely knock it out of the park. This is one of those. I swear Guy Garvey could put emotion or nostalgia or something to make a song about paint drying seem warm and interesting. Though thankfully they have better things to sing about, and the imagery of the lyrics is often relatable.
I don't know with a reaction channel if you give yourselves freedom to hear stuff without recording it incase it comes up or not, I imagine that must be hard at times, or if there is scope for a band reaction with say 3 songs or something, and the variety with all the requests is great, but at some point, do a little more with these guys, a mini elbow journey:
Lippy Kids (I so nearly made this my Kofi request instead), Great expectations, Scattered black & whites, My sad captains, Switching off, Newborn, Open arms, McGregor, Grounds for divorce, Mirrorball, Dear friends, Real life, and other commenters probably have great suggestions I'm forgetting.
A few of these have #Elbowroom's videos on youtube where the recorded them from their houses over video call but they are actually really cool (inc a youth choir for lippy lids).
Anyway, time to stop. Thanks to you both for the reaction.
Truly love the song and that performance. Achingly beautiful territory. - Greg
I like the end where the band are just sort of slyly looking at each other like "we got it that time eh?"
Love it. One of my favourite bands, favourite songs and favourite performances. Amazing, thanks.
You're welcome!
You know how people talk about singing?
This is it.
Out of superlatives too - The collective focus and intensity of each and every musician is spine tingling - music is the tie that binds us all together❣. Thanks for showcasing this masterpiece - Hope you're both well🤗
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you're well, too.
Probably my favorite piece of music ever.
There are two moments when this music and vocals blossom , like a break in the clouds , that a tower crane driver would see first .
Absolutely Brilliant
Great reaction to one of the greatest bands in the world today. And one of my favourite tracks of theirs. Seen them live twice, both times they were phenomenal.
This is so classy. Elbow doing what they do best. I occasionally hear Guy Garvey on BBC Radio 6 and he comes across as a genuinely nice guy. Big respect.
That chord change at 6.15 is outstanding!
Oh I just love this. Guy Garvey's soaring vocals always stir something in me. In their music Elbow have this habit of elevating the most mundane, normal, tiny details of life into something celebratory and anthemic. The song seems to be about ambition - the tower crane driver being well paid, but high, aloof and lonely. Gorgeous
i realize Im kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
@Tatum Collin Lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Tatum Collin i use flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Tatum Collin i would suggest flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
Totally wanted more of the crescendo ❤
Elbow I heard from their 1st Album. Guy Garvey is so down to earth and knows /writes from life's deepest emotions.
i've asked a bunch of these reaction channels to react to this version of the song....i did a search and you all came up and appreciate you all doing it. this version of the song brings tears to my eyes every time and at the end the band looking at each other as to say, "what just happened."
Love elbow, particularly love this song 👍
Love your reaction and that you loved the song. I’d recommend “Grounds for Divorce” for Chris. I think it would be another home run for you both. Both this and my recommendation are from the album “The Seldom Seen Kid”. It’s a wonderful album. One of the few you can return to time and time again.
The whole album is brilliant
I must have been working the ropes, when your hand slipped from mine.....taped this off the radio...x
I have always loved this rendition of the song. Its just beautiful but with such gut wrenching lyrics.
And Guy Garvey hits every big note at the end just perfectly.
I've seen them on three different tours here in NY. I can't believe they play the Bowery Ballroom and Terminal 5 and not Garden and the Barclay's. They do this live without the orchestra. The only voice which compares to Guy's is Peter Gabriel, so intense. Great pick! Please do "New York Morning ", they do a nice reference to Yoko - a Beatles connection for you...
love
Funny you should mention the elbow. I think I'm remembering this correctly but their name comes from The Singing Detective, where the main character said his favourite word was elbow.
From my hometown of Bury in greater Manchester.
Do Fickle Flame with John Grant.
It's beautiful.
Lucky enough to have heard that one live and it’s just beyond beautiful.
Check out Build A Rocket Boys and the very whimsical The Fix. The deeply philosophical Forget You. Elbow usually take a violinist and a couple of cello players on tour with them. They have done concerts with full orchestras and choirs. Check out Elbow live at Abbey road with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Seldom seen kid....heavy...
Another great reaction guys Guy Garvey reminds me of another artist you may want to check out in Paul Heaton not musically but in his down to earth attitude
More oasis reactions?? For me they’re the greatest band since The Beatles 😍😍🎶🎶
Sorry Rob...daft comment...surely from ignorance. there's blumming loads of stuff in between...e.g. The 70s
@@problemchimp4231 what from the 70s mate?
@@problemchimp4231 are u saying I’m not aware of music from the 70s and 80s?????
@@robsol123 Just saying....If you're saying... best band since The Beatles...I'd say...a hell of a gap there....genuinely does hint at ignorance regarding that period.
@@problemchimp4231 what band compare to The Beatles between 1970 and 1994 then???
