elijah_finds | More on the "Is this Elijah?" " question.

As it seems pretty quiet I thought I'd post an update following on from my previus post asking "Is this Elijah" from a Gogol Bordello gig on 4 October.

I checked back on

sssneaking's post here which had pics of Elijah backstage earlier in the day:

When I checked the source link I saw that there was a video of Gogol Bordello doing their pre-show warm-up ritual

The video is also at YouTube here:

At 50 secs in the same plaid-shirt guy with camera (seen in the pics I posted previously) walks behind the band with the camera held over his head.

If you watch it in HIGH QUALITY I think it shows pretty clearly that it's NOT Elijah but see you what you think. (To watch in High Quality, click the link on the bottom right hand of the screen).

EDIT: Bah! I just watched it a few more times, and I canNOT make up my mind! LOL!

EDITED AGAIN Our marvellous Karin has solved the mystery! Read the comments for more details!

I can solve this question for once and for all time :

At 20 secs into the video, the real Elijah Wood steps into the picture from the left. You can only see his arm and the camera (a normal black SLR camera, NOT a giant silver video camera or whatever that monster is). Why do I know that that person is the real Elijah ? Because he still wears the small-checkered shirt he wore in the two earlier backstage pictures !

Also, having seen the face of Mr. Big-Camera at 50 secs into the video, I can safely say he is NOT Elijah !

I have played the high quality .flv file from my temporary internet files, where I can enlarge the screen in order to watch the video.

So sorry, but the Hi-Res pics you found earlier don't show Eljah in my opinion.

:o(

Love,

- Karin.

You can even see Elijah's ring at 20 secs into the video !

Karin, you are so right! You and I must have been scrutinizing the vid simultaneously, because I was just about to post the same thing! The look-alike guy looked less and less like Elijah, the more I paused the vid to really look at him. And then! - I too saw that familiar arm, that familiar hand with that very familiar ring on the third finger! Also, if you look quickly enough, you can see part of that familiar manbag. That is our Elijah, not this confusingly similar camera guy. :-)

Yes, I was about to mention the manbag with my next comment which has a screenshot !

that's one thing about this community no other has. fans who will scrutinize, analyze, prioritize and finalize all for the sake of feeding our curiosities.... and making good use of down time. :-D

good work karin!

"fans who will scrutinize, analyze, prioritize and finalize "

OOOoh I have to watch again!!! Thanks Karin!!
