Elbow was incredible! Guy's voice is perfect! And the band clearly loves and loves performing. I am only sorry that the night had to end. I can't wait to see them again the next time they come to the states.

Wonderful performance by am terrific band. Hopefully it won't be too long before they're back in Boston, and before they receive the recognition they deserve on this side of the Atlantic.

Ever want to see & hear a band LIVE that sounds BETTER than they do on CD ? Ever want to feel a little closer to the band by knowing about their inspirations ? Ever want to share a laugh with a band, as though you were doing it over a pint ? Ever want to appreciate that some musicians don't need a studio to make them sound fantastic ? Ever want to realize that some vocalists really can do it live ?

If you answered YES to ANY of these questions ......

GO SEE ELBOW !

Saw Elbow at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. Great Show all around. The band played beautifully; the song list was upbeat and classy. I would recommend seeing this band to anyone. I had a great time.
If they come to your area....go see them!

Support band were very good and provided a great build up to Elbow.
Elbow themselves were excellent and sounded just like their albums. Guy has a great rapport with the audiance and tells some great stories to explanin the forthcoming song choice.
My biggest regret having travelled from London to see them was the lack of older material such as their signature tracks 'Newborn' and 'Grace Under Pressure', the trouble is they now have so many great songs that time ran out!!

I had never even heard an Elbow song until the day of the concert. I bought front row tickets after hearing one of their songs the day of the concert and had an amazing time! They were awesome. The front man was extremely engaging. I loved the violins and the horns. I bought their CD after the show and just love it. I would see them again, especially at The Greek!

Elbow put on an amazing show. They played absolutely every song I hoped they would and they had a way of making the crowd feel like a major part of the show. And best of all, the fans and crowd were incredibly friendly. Overall it was an experience I won't soon forget.

I have waited a long time for Elbow to come to Boston.....it was worth the wait...from the opening notes until their departure...they were superb....Guy Garvey's voice is incredible and the band were nothing short of brilliant....they covered a great range of material...and if there was any complaint...I wished they could have played longer....loved all the new material from "Build a Rocket Boys" and they chose some great cuts from "The Seldom Seen Kid" and "Leaders of the Free World"...I asked Pete before if there was any chance they would be doing "Scattered Black & Whites" or "Picky Bugger"....and he said no (I'm okay with that....just personal favorites)...hope they come back soon.....we were so lucky to see them @ the Paradise...they are huge in Europe...loved it!!!!

To be perfectly honest, we did not go to this concert to see Elbow; as we have anxiously been waiting to see Devotchka for some time. Even though Devotchka played an hour set, It was well worth the hassle! They gave a foot-stomping performance that could warm the blood of even the most frigid and discerning music lover. They are a genuine musician's band that has yet to be fully recognized. We are hoping that they return to perform a headlining show in the future! Kudos to Elbow for bringing them here!

Elbow were everything you would expect from them and more: beautiful songs, great showmanship, pitch perfect, spot on production. DeVotchKa, the opening act, were not a good match for this band and I'm not certain why they were booked, since Elbow have been touring with Glasser. I would give the concert 5+ stars if it were not for DeVotchKa.

Elbow is amazing live - you can tell they have played together for 20 years - it transcends collaboration as a band - something more like a single living organism. Terminal 5 was a good space - sound was great, and it was small enough to feel like you are really there with the band. See Elbow live if you can.
