Blur's setlists going forward

[Pavlich]

Let's say the band themselves, Blur, decide to get into it again and give it another go.

With this hypothetical they wouldn't have an album out, they'd simply be testing the waters or getting back in to playing shows as an entry point.

Or, maybe there's a brand new record out – it's up to you.

What setlist would you love to see? What is likely? What songs should go out and what is overdue to come in? Got a new idea of a basic template that changes up spots that were always 'obvious' locks and placements for certain mainstays?

If the band ever came back and made a record I would love to see them play a bunch of smaller, 2000-ish capacity shows across the United Kingdom and a few in Europe to really kick off the tour cycle. They'd open up and play the album start to finish and then return for another 10, 11 songs with an encore following. Most songs would be the same but I'd have a few spots open to rotation; nothing too bold but a return for say I think that'd be a refreshing way for them to tour and also allow them to thank England, in a way.

They need to lay down parklife as a whole, except for trouble in the message centre and london loves, the rest I can live without... it's been heard to a tiring point. On the other hand... they need to delve into the rest of the albums, Ambulance being criminally ignored for instance

[TracyJosh]

Yes, yes, yes! Ambulance needs a go with Graham! It's totally puzzled me that they haven't given it a look in since 2008.

[Forever Low Man]

on the way to the club would have to go later in the set somewhere

[KingLouieLouie76]

"Fool's Day" must be performed live! I think it could be epic..... "Go Out" to me has since become the best concert opener (worked so perfectly at Hyde Park)....."Bugman", "Coping", and some rare B-sides should be considered as well....

[tom_cas1]

Songs I definitely want included next time around:

Ambulance, Ice Cream Man, Blue Jeans, Essex Dogs, High Cool, Bang, Battery In Your Leg, On The Way To The Club, Some Glad Morning.

[Moritz]

It would be cool to hear some early b-sides stuff like Inertia or Explain. Coping and Bank Holiday would be also nice. And for the intro, an instrumental like Lot 105 or Theme from Retro, like they did on the 2013 tour.

[KingLouieLouie76]

I cannot believe I overlooked "CSBM" earlier! However, unfortunately Damon obviously still cannot hit those falsettos. I was so glad they pulled out "Badhead" when I saw them!

i think an interactive online studio gig would be awesome.. maybe for some anniversay..

fans poll.for half the songs and the band choose the other half.. no hits allowed ><

its criminal that they've so many good songs that never make it onto playlists..especiallyin the days of youtoob where you can watchso many performances.. its frustrating to see parklife 10000000 different times but resigned isnt there once ..

im allowed a moan, right? =_=

but yeah, after watching graham's recent gray guitars episodes... it would be soooo good to see something similar with a setlist.. talking about gear.. i could watch it all day

[JAIME]

Pleasant Education live would be awesome (and impossible).

I'd be more than happy with Sing, Inertia, Shimmer, Chemical World, Badhead, This Is A Low(my fave song), Best Days, Look Inside America, Essex Dogs, Bugman, Battle, Pyongyang, etc.

[101reykjavik]

If you're having Pleasant Education Jaime, I want Cross Channel Love and *whisper it* Orbit's Under The Westway.

[MannMedic]

On the Way to the Club would be great to hear, as well as Oily Water or He Thought of Cars. So many possibilities!
