Blur's recent performance at the show in Hyde Park this summer to mark the end of the London Olympics is to be released on a 5-disc CD/DVD set.

The gig which was organised by BT London Live as part of a series of events to mark the Games took place on in August as part of London Live.



Blur's recent performance at Hyde Park to mark the closing of the Olympic Games is being made available in a 5-disc CD/DVD set from 3rd December 2012 on Parlophone.

Titled 'Parklive', the deluxe edition will comprise the whole show, with extras, presented over 2 CDs with a DVD of the 12-camera shoot directed by Mathew Amos. The DVD also has the bonus of having best-quality audio, that means you can play it loud, unlike the volume at the actual concert.

Also included is an exclusive CD, 'Blur - Live At The 100 Club' recorded at the London venue in August as part of Converse Represent, with a further CD of special live tracks recorded this summer, including 'Under The Westway' and 'The Puritan' performed live on Twitter from a London rooftop, and recordings from the Wolverhampton warm-up show and BBC Radio Maida Vale sessions.

The discs are housed in a 60-page hardback book containing photographs from both Hyde Park and the 100 Club and is available from www.blur.co.uk.

The high-quality live audio will also be available on DVD, double CD and digitally on Monday 3rd December in partnership with Abbey Road Live Here Now.
