Vocals might be real. Drums probably aren't. Fiddles aren't,
unless they have found some miraculous invisible gobo to control
the fiddle leakage. Cellos are evident on the audio but not in the
shot. --scott
I only had a chance to listen through earbuds, but I thought I detected
a percussion/click track that nobody onstage seemed to be playing. If
so, almost anything else we're hearing could be on the track. I thought
at first the drums were real, but they cut the camera away so often
that we never got a good look (which is itself probably evidence that
they were pre-recorded.) It looked like the keyboard player was playing
an old Fender Rhodes, but the sound I heard was that of an acoustic
piano, or digital recreation thereof. I didn't notice that the cellos
were missing onstage, but I'm not surprised.
I thought that kind of annoying quick-cut video direction had gone out
of style, but apparently not. It's good for obfuscation, I guess.
I vote for vocals live, everything else on tape.
I might go for that if he was wearing IEMs, but no - he was listening
to music on the stage. I know that the Graham Norton show prides
itself on genuinely live music, and Elbow are technically well up to
it. The strings were certainly playing, but I think they were enhanced
by some synth.
