Mar 23, 2012 - Absolutely agree 100%. Guys voice is the best amle voice I have ever heard. So clear and powerful. The backing vocals when he sings 'Send up a prayer in my name' makes the hairs on my neck stand up. Totally beautiful.

Apr 8, 2012 - This has replaced Fugitive Motel and Any Day Now (awesome songs in their own right) as my favorite Elbow song. Best band ever.

May 10, 2012 - I think we're all agreed. Well up there on the list of best performances ever. I've now sat here for a few minutes trying to think of words that would describe how brilliant this really is but it looks like oxford are going to have to re-invent the thesaurus after this one

MrCircus86 Says:
