In January 2014, Elbow performed live at the Eden Sessions in Cornwall, showcasing one of their standout tracks, "The Birds." This performance followed the release of their album "The Take Off and Landing of Everything," which came out in March 2014, just a couple of months after the concert. This album marked a significant step in Elbow's discography, as it achieved critical and commercial success, further solidifying their place in the UK music scene. Notably, Elbow had already received the prestigious Mercury Prize for their earlier work, "The Seldom Seen Kid," highlighting their artistic growth and popular appeal. The live performance at the Eden Project also illustrates their ability to connect with audiences in unique settings, enhancing their reputation for evocative live shows that blend warmth and introspection.
