In the week that their 8th studio album, ‘Giants of All Sizes’, became their third consecutive UK Number 1 album, elbow played a series of special acoustic shows for select audiences in Leeds, Kingston and Manchester. Combining tracks from the new album with songs from their extensive and ever growing back catalogue, the shows offered fans a rare opportunity to see elbow in small venues, with the recordings emphasizing the special bond that exists between the band and their fanbase.

This live album contains the show they played at the Ritz, in their hometome Manchester. This was already the site of a legendary headline show on the release of their debut album ‘Asleep in the Back’ in 2001.
