BLUR - 2023 LIVE

[dparrott]

Tame is my favorite blur song!!!

Paul Draper (Mansun singer) has released some good solo music lately.

I think people are reading too deeply into the Suzie/Damon dynamic. I won’t think much about it until something substantive actually comes out. And Yeah I remember him talking about the basement renovations too — seems to be all the rage for the wealthy in London, for better or worse.

I like the theory that Damon’s gone mad from destroying his relationships and losing some of his friends. Now he’s on an endless tour to be close with the fans. The fans can’t leave him.

Gosh I'd love to hear Tame.

Yeah, not a bad one but I'd prob prefer Peach.
Closely followed by Threadneedle.

[bugman]

tame, no monsters, morricone, all we want/all your life, i know, mr briggs - my fav bsides to hear

Threadneedle is sooooo good . Not sure why it is so often overlooked in the b-side chatter . I don’t care for the parklife b-side era, but that song is head and shoulders above

[mizzuzjoja]

Let's hear Hanging Over, transitioning into Resigned! That would be a killer closer for the main set (pre-encore).

[aldamasta]

If they can fit in Luminous to a festival setlist, they can fit in almost any song anywhere. Threadneedle one of my favorite blur songs, to hear that would be a dream.

[Sledge Hammer]

Get Trouble In The Message Centre back on the setlist, shows the band rocking at its finest in the outro, and don't forget Bugman! total awesome live without Orbits mess all over it.

Love the Liam pisstake from Damon and the 2nd half where the band let loose, Damon in awe at Graham...

Finding myself going back again and again to St Charles Square from Primavera, can’t get enough of it - this kind of swaggering, meat ‘n’ potatoes pub rock sounds so right coming from four grizzled old mates. If there’s more like this on TBOD I’ll be very happy indeed.

When do we reckon they’ll announce more UK dates? Can't wait to hear more of the new album live.

T-BOD? Hehe! Not thought of it as an acronym before!

[rustyrusty]

Got a nice ring to it eh

[aldamasta]

I would love Bugman to come back — what a ripper! More 13 in general. If they’re gonna do Tender I’d love to see them go straight into Bugman like the album instead of the audience oh my baby’s!

That'd be TOO good. I remember seeing them at Reading 99 and when Tender suddenly became Bugman, the crowd suddenly became a very scary place to be in an instant (just like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fD95vKWDeU)

But I feel like the version of Blur that favoured that approach is long gone now. I remember the uproar when they pretty much played 13 in order at T in the Park that year. They were only interested in pleasing themselves in that period and didn't care what anyone thought.

[aldamasta]

Sucks that tomorrow’s Primavera gig had to be canceled! Hate this for the bands and the fans.

Looks like blur are playing tonight at La Riviera in Madrid!
