I've often wondered how worthwhile gig reviews are with the advent of YouTube footage, etc. (plus being there myself) but bringing your own personal Blur narrative to it made it a good read! Actually, your gig observations are much better than a lot of 'established' music journos!

Did you catch the Glastonbury footage?, that was pretty special too... but it just made be feel even luckier that I was able to attend this intimate warm up<br /><br />Anon - there's a nice little double cd set that has conveniently just come out! could be worth a go to get you started. However you cant go wrong with Modern Life is Rubbish and Parklife as an intro to their work.<br /><br />Hi John - I did Reading 91 and Ally Pally too! Blagged the ol backstage party at AP and nicked Grahams setlist!! Still got it somewhere! Good spot on the t-shirt.. <br /><br />Carl - shame you missed the Southend show... sometimes these things cant be helped eh? Glasto footage looked amazing didn't it? Completely nailed it, and tighter than ever.<br /><br />Cocktails - I can confirm it's 'safe' to see them this side of the reform!!! Not sure Hyde Park is the best place to do so though. I wonder what the future is? If they stay together, what size venues will they be playing in a year or twos time? MLIR is still a masterpiece isn't it? and unfortunately overshadowed by the mighty Parklife. Love the vibe from that album tho.<br /><br />EF - I don't know, you get to 40 and you start losing your marbles eh??! Like John above, we see them at Reading 91! This was the year captured by the phrase 'wake me up tomorrow' (I think there were a few others too, but that one will do!). <br /><br />Further - Know what you mean about early Oasis... the swagger and the arrogance was exciting, compared to the middle-class art boys. But it's a marathon, not a sprint, and Blur have been much more interesting and diverse (as have all of Damon's other projects). <br /><br />PileyPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-49450373320107431162009-06-30T12:51:53.793+01:002009-06-30T12:51:53.793+01:00Great review - I didn't do the Brit Pop scene ...Great review - I didn't do the Brit Pop scene really... too old, too into rock and other stuff... too drunk most of the time.<br /><br />However how many times in the recent years have I looked at my son on hearing a "great innovative new band" on Jools or whereever and said... "Another bloody Blur soundalike". However that is testament to the influence they have had/still have. I agree with you for me these were much more inventive and influential and pushed the boundaries far far further and Oasis could ever imagine.Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-84038402194155507492009-06-29T20:22:24.619+01:002009-06-29T20:22:24.619+01:00Great review Piley, you must remind me where we sa...Great review Piley, you must remind me where we saw them ? I have got a vague memory but have a big problem remembering the venue etc.<br /><br />At the time I was in the OASIS camp and often offered fights with you on the subject ! But as my musical pallette has matured I have collected a fair bit of Blur and am particularly fond of their later stuff and the somewhat underated baggy debut album. <br /><br />I really like the stuff both Albarn and Coxon have gone onto make and even read the Alex James autobiography, which is a very good read if you get the chance.<br /><br />Carl's point on OASIS is fair but Blur have made some absolute ball buster tracks along with some of the biggest w*nk I have ever heard (Country House !), which makes it far more interesting in my opinion !E F RICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323043569136307149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-46915728525407566552009-06-29T17:05:07.414+01:002009-06-29T17:05:07.414+01:00I've been a long time fan of Blur but I've...I've been a long time fan of Blur but I've never had the opportunity/nerve to see them live. Still, I was suspicious about their 'reunion' (always am about these things) so it was a relief to read your review. <br /><br />I just dragged out my copy of Modern Life is Rubbish again recently and boy, is is good.

My experience of Blur is much the same as yours I think. I first saw them at Reading Festival in 91. Funny thing is I watched the TV highlights of their set at Glastonbury last night and noticed that Graham was wearing the same T-shirt as he wore when they played Ally Pally in 94!John Devlinhttp://www.truecoloursfootballkits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-65105058335492546262009-06-27T22:05:50.338+01:002009-06-27T22:05:50.338+01:00Another band that I always thought I should check ...Another band that I always thought I should check out in more detail but never did.

I tucked in to the Pixies reunion too, that was one of the best reform gigs I ever saw. Blur were on the money Sunday, and was nowhere near a 'going through the motions\cash cow' gig.<br /><br />PM - yeah the PSB mix does have a good feel to it, and suits the style of that song. One for the podcast perhaps??!<br /><br />TNHOME - Glad you enjoyed it! Hyde Park will be a very different gig, but I have no doubt it will be a great one. Enjoy!

It's like hooking up with an ex, being torn between affectionate curiosity and that feeling that some things should just be left in the past where they belong. I had similar fears about going back to see Pixies some years ago. Luckily, they still delivered by the shedload, as, by the sounds of it, do Blur. I'm glad to read that it wasn't just a cynical cash-in. They were always too classy for that.Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-76031585253431445342009-06-24T08:52:06.195+01:002009-06-24T08:52:06.195+01:00sounds like a amazing show. thanks for sharing you...sounds like a amazing show. thanks for sharing your thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-79104638609486822022009-06-24T00:58:37.545+01:002009-06-24T00:58:37.545+01:00a really great review of a really great night, tha...a really great review of a really great night, thank you!
