Blur Confirmed on BBC

[Petewasbristol]

YES!!!!! Oh, it will be an emotional one.

They used to close with 'This Is A Low' quite a lot in the early-ish days, like around '94, but then they started closing with 'The Universal' and then 'Song 2' came along, so they started closing with that or 'The Universal', but I reckon they may revert back to their old ways, not that I really care too much, it's gonna be special whatever they play.

But I want 'The Universal' as Reading 2003 would have intended it, just with the addititon of Coxon, obvs:

[FestMonster]

nice very nice indeed

I can't wait, they're gonna be amazing!

[brettredmayne]

Blur got me into music when i was 12 and I always will love them. Going to be a special moment and I can't wait.

[Ed209]

I don't know if you're joking or not, but Blur have a song called 'Sing' too, appears on their first album and the Trainspotting Soundtrack.

I'm presuming that they're going to get Phil Daniels to do Phil Daniels' bits for Hyde Park at least, if not Glastonbury then Damon will do them, as he did back in the day, they couldn't get Phil Daniels to come to every one of their gigs, he did the big ones/the ones in London generally.

I'm trying and failing to pick 5 songs, 5 favourite albums would even be tough, so I've craftily left out the hits, taking them as givens:

'Death Of A Party'

'Look Inside America'

'Advert'

'Starshaped'

'Trouble In The Message Centre'

.... off the top of my head, will be re-drafted SEVERAL times.

How much of Think Tank do you recon they will play? Coxham wasn't really involved with that album so will it get much space in their setlist? Would love to them to play Out of Time, We've Got A File On You and Good Song

[Originalshez]

It's all about opening with Song 2. The place would be f**king jumping

Graham did guitar on Battery in Your Leg from Think Tank, so that might be a go...but other than that I'd doubt they'd play anything from it, unless Graham felt strongly otherwise. It's not like they are hurting for material without it.

[VCK]

Result!

How amazing would it be if they opened with Popscene?

[suchacharmer]

So, five tracks you want played?

[VCK]

No order:

You're So Great

Clover Over Dover

Dan Abnormal

Music is My Radar

Country House - shameless, I realize, but it'd be a great sing-a-long

[suchacharmer]

Popscene

The Universal

Colin Zeal

There's No Other Way

Out Of Time (Don't hurt me!)

[VCK]

Yeah, I just got the feeling the songs off Think Tank aren't viewed as "classics" like the stuff off Parklife, The Great Escape, etc are.

Also, special mention - For Tomorrow. Would be a great singalong.

[suchacharmer]

Yeah, the "lalala" parts would be absolutely great. So many of their songs are going to make excellent singalongs, I can not wait!

I thought Think Tank was mega, it was just different to anything Blur had done before. Although I know many did not like it, maybe because of the different sound.

Adore 'good song' I doubt it will get played, but such a beautiful song

Also be great if they slid in "We've Got a File on You", what harm could it do, all 2 minutes of it

[The_Fish]

Parklife

Thinktank

The Great Escape

Blur

Graham's said he'd like to play Battery In Your Leg and Out Of Time, so we shall see...

[VCK]

Grams told me that if the rest of the band are game, for Hyde Park, he wants to do 'Battery In Your Leg' and 'Out Of Time', may be the same for Glasto, but bearing in mind this is before Damon has had his say......
