Elbow fans - special Seldom Seen Kid on BBC iPlayer and Ceefax

Posted by: JWM on 01 February 2009

A special live performance by Elbow with the BBC Concert Orchestra, organised by Radio 2, of their cracking album Seldom Seen Kid, is now on BBC iPlayer and Ceefax on continuous loop (press the red button and follow the links).

Having seen Elbow on their recent UK tour, and been blown away by the quality of their performance then, I think this BBC gig is great.

As with all things iPlayer, there's a 'use by' date - you've got until this Friday, 6th Feb.

Enjoy.

Awesome!
Very much looking forward to seeing them live in Sydney at The Enmore Theatre (a lovely small venue!)

There's a limited edition DVD/CD of this due out soon too.

Yes, just pre-ordered it from Elbow website!

And Denis, it would be good to bump into you again at another gig in 2009, but looking at the listings for our shared Cambridge haunts, at the moment there's not much upcoming that tickles my fancy.

I ordered this special edition about 5 mins after receiving the email regarding it from the Elbow website on Friday. I'm a sucker for these things, lol! Mind you, it was one of my favourite albums of last year - and they were great live too.

First time I have heard Elbow and they are brilliant.

Just for the 'record' it has just cost me too!!

Surprised me abit ,I was thinking sounds nothing like the CD!

Been playing the CD (well a rip of the CD but that's another post altogether) today and it is very good. They play the original CD in the same running order from start to finish.

The DVD in 5.1 should be good.
