Live At Jodrell Bank

On 23rd June amid dire weather warnings and stormy skies, elbow returned home to play what they themselves regard as one of their finest ever shows at Cheshire's Jodrell Bank Observatory. The entire show was filmed and cameras were given unprecedented backstage access with the band.

Featuring conversations with Associate Director Dr Tim O'Brien together with the people who make Jodrell Bank one of the foremost astronomic facilities in the world, the DVD captures the entirety of the day. To kids and adults alike raised on school trips to Jodrell, the show, which sold out within hours of being put on sale, was always going to be a very special day.

Built around a set taken from their platinum album 'build a rocket boys!', the triple platinum 'The Seldom Seen Kid' and interspersed with favourites from 'Asleep In The Back' and 'Leaders Of The Free World' and shot in full HD, the DVD features a multi-camera shoot of the whole set directed by the award winning Matt Askem (Muse, Take That).

The show featured projections on to the world famous Bernard Lovell Telescope, and a huge pyrotechnic finale. The DVD also includes a specially commissioned 1 hour documentary which includes backstage footage and interviews with, amongst others, Dr Tim O'Brien, Guy Garvey and the late Sir Bernard Lovell.

Given elbow's formidable reputation for outdoor shows and, in the midst of a summer that saw them headline Latitude and perform at the London 2012 opening ceremony, it is little surprise that this is a record of a band truly at the top of their game.

Also included in the release is the audio of the entire show over 2 CDs.
