One of our favorites, Elbow, came across the Pond in 2011 to play the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco (happening again this coming weekend).  For those in attendance, it was one of the most magnificent, heartwarming performances of that or any other year.  You simply must see this band live.  Get it on your bucket list now.

We were thrilled yesterday when Elbow announced on their website both the release of a new concert recording/DVD entitled Live at Jodrell Bank, and the release next March of its 6th studio album (tentatively titled All At Once), with touring to begin shortly thereafter in the UK .  With respect to the Live release, approximately 12,000 people watched Elbow’s performance near the Lovell radio telescope.  You see, Elbow frontman Guy Garvey is an amateur astronomer, and the event also featured speeches from over 80 scientists.

About the impending new studio album, Garvey said this about the working title of the album:  “”When you’re 40, you’re all ages at once, because you’re thinking of your youth, which has very definitely passed, and about how you became the person you are. You wonder about how the rest of your life plays out from here.”

Today, Elbow released an excellent excerpted performance from the new Live at Jodrell Bank DVD of the much-loved Grounds For Divorce.  Watch below and be wowed.
