Elbow with orchestra

[NMH]

I'm not very familiar with Elbow, but have been watching them at Abbey Road studios playing before a small audience, backed by orchestra and choir.

I'm impressed - can understand how they've won awards and acclaim.

Absolutely top band. Is it on the internet you've been watching them or on the tellybox? Wouldn't mind seeing it myself.

BBC - Radio 2 - Elbow with the BBC Concert Orchestra

Love Elbow! Seen them live about 8-9 times now and they have always been great.

The sort of band who deserve to be bigger and seem to finally be breaking through to the masses.

It's on the red button on Freeview for the week.

Saw them at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester last autumn and they were superb. Anyone with a ticket for the Dome later this month is in for a treat.

Grounds for Divorce sounds amazing with the choir and orchestra.

 

[METALMICKY]

My fave example of rock band with orchestra is Metallica with the San Francisco symphony. What makes the album S&M so good is that the oscar winning conductor and composer michael kamen didn' t just follow the original melodies but wrote some great counter melodies. Even if Metallica is not your bag the video of the gig is spectacular.

Looking forward to 28 march at the O2 when Metallica will be playing in the round
