Then into Woodland now known as The Log Cabin to see Hits before they take off to destroy Europe. Was talking to Tamara when Gregor ambled on stage to set up his drums. I said it should be fun going through customs etc with Gregor in tow. How we laughed. As the band started and Dick appeared I realized just how much fun it would be. For those who don't know the band, Dick is barely acting in the video and nor is Gregor [the man on the toilet].

Elbow at The Tivoli

This was one of the most enjoyable concerts I have been to. The Tivoli is a small hall and it was packed. The crowd was having a good time and the band was enjoying the crowd. Even the sing-a-longs were done well.
The recording has some of the drum/bass buzz of the Dirty Three recording but not as bad.

Dirty Three at The Tivoli

How good are these guys. The banter alone makes it worth the entrance price.

A warning to audiophiles; there is a buzz in the bass/drum sound that I cannot get rid of. It is a little annoying but the recording can still be enjoyed. If anyone knows about this stuff and would like to try cleaning it, please email me and I'll make a loss free copy available.
