Elbow

Yesterday evening I went with some friends to Haarlem. There was a band playing around 9 pm in a sold-out Patronaat. Elbow. A British band with already 4 albums since their beginning in 1991. I only know their latest one which is very good. Slow melodic songs with good lines. The show had a lot of humor. The frontman did his homework and came with some historical people from dutch history. It was fun. And a few jokes about music, like fake playing the summer of 69 with a hilarious crowd. Everybody hated the song. I didn't know everything from the music they played but it was a great band with beautiful songs. Especially from their latest album. If you can see them I would go. It's a nice evening with great music. Like I said before.. when seeing a band live it gives new dimensions on your albums. Most of the time the live performances are even better!
