Brennser, I was glad to learn that you're DJing for this one!
:)
Hey, that was pretty cool when Elbow's lead singer gave a shout out to the DJ. Nice job, indeed, Brennser!
P.S. Good show!

Agreed.
My buddy mentioned that it didn't seem as crowded as other sold out shows (Wilco). Is the 'sold out' number the same for each show?

I didn't even know their material that well, and I was really impressed. If I'd been a diehard fan, that feeling probably would've been heightened.

Elbow concentrated on the last two albums…highlights for me were:
Station Approach, Leaders of the Free World, One Day Like This…
such a great show!

They really are terrific. I would've liked a few older songs (Fugitive Motel, Any Day Now), but no complaints here.
Jesca Hoop, on the other hand…

Yeah, can someone explain to me why the audience loved her so much?
For a lot of folks in the audience, this seemed like there second or third show ever, the way they were looking around the 9:30 Club, so maybe it was just the shock of seeing live music…
And way to go on the Djing Brennser…

I chatted to Guy a little in the back bar afterwards and he said he loves Fugitive Motel but the band won't let him play it…..pity as its one of my favorite songs
great set regardless

definitely a lot of 30 and 40 somethings - made a change for me not to feel like the old guy at a gig

I'm assuming it was because Guy Garvey came out ahead of time and told the crowd to be nice to her.
She opened for them last time at 6th & I too. All I could think was "which member of Elbow is she dating?"

Pretty good show.
Seems as though whenever I don't spend some post-show time in the backbar, one or all of the band members wind up down there. Never fails.

Rule of thumb: Elbow are great pub boys. You will always find them in the bar after the show.

LC! were more enjoyable than I was anticipating.
Tons of infectious energy.
Girls were excellent but that was expected.
Ended up skipping the late show.

How was the Van Morrison show? I had a ticket, but I couldn't go.

One-sentence weekend reviews:
Tracy Chapman was a snoozefest with the exception of a couple bluesier numbers but that was to be expected.
Skygreen Leopards were a big disappointment but the band who played before them, Oblisk, who I'd never heard of were impressive.
Mos Def went on only half an hour late and killed it; too bad I only caught the 2nd half of the show due to standing through that
letdown of a Skygreen set.
Screen Vinyl Image did their usual dancegaze thing.
Rest of week:
either Espers/KV or De La Soul
Cyndi/Rosie
Trash Can Sinatras
Robert Gordon
either Bat for Lashes or Phish
Woods
death from exhaustion

I'm going to the Pretenders.
I hope Cat Power has improved a lot since the last time I saw her (2001 or 2002 in Argentina) she seemed to have a nervous breakdown…
