How is this 10 years ago already... great show, band were on top form, much tighter than the tour opener which I attended. Don Valley seemed a small venue (especially when compared to the Nou Camp), had a great spot right in front of the stage.
Bonus to have a radio broadcast of the show straight after too.
seem to remember it was a beautiful sunny evening. Rate this as the second best show of the 11 I attended on 360. Best show by far was Rome October 2010.
jeez, i was there too. travelled up on the train from Kings Cross, beautiful lady on the train. Couple of hours later she turned up on stage with Elbow!
Missed Elbow due to traffic problems,pitched up with the claw in sight just as they finished.About 5 hours to get there & just 90 minutes to get back home,mad.No event t-shirts left,got a couple off the bay like.Terrible venue for a gig of that magnitude,absolute ****hole it was.No wonder they bulldozed it,which upset Jessica Ennis-Hill(she trained there)Worst place I reckon I’ve been to,awful ‘stadium’ Don Valley.
The band always put on a great gig when under scrutiny,I think it went out live to commercial radio stations across the UK.London 2 was epic,outstanding performance,pity only some of it was broadcast by Radio2 at Christmas time.
Could this Sheffield gig be the only one where all 4 members speak,after answering the question to ...’...how many O Levels do you have?...’ by Bono?
