Blur - First reunion gig setlist!

[Craig_G]

This just reminded me how much I love this remix of Tender. So much better than the original imho.

[russycarps]

However, This is a Low is their finest song. It has one of the most haunting guitar solos ive ever heard. It would be fitting to finish GF2009 with it. It is the most epic song that will be played this year. By anyone.

[Wooderson]

Nah, that will be Stagger Lee and will be performed in the set before Blur, by Nick Cave.

[russycarps]

It's prolly my fave Cave choon and will be slicker than grease on the day itself, but its not a patch on This is a Low.

Fair play for being so loyal to Nicky Cave tho chief.

[Wooderson]

I am sure we had this "argument" on here before.

You are damn right though, I am soiling myself with excitement at the thought of This Is A Low. At glastonbury. On the pyramid.

Get in!

Popscene to start proceedings off please. Or Trimm Trabb. Or Girls & Boys. Or Beetlebum.

[Wooderson]

This is a low at Glasto!! Oh yes

Some of that footage is super. Thought Girls and Boys sounded total pants though. Country House is an offensively bad tune no matter how they play it and Song 2 is as bog standard as it gets so Id be looking for some “less popular songs” or whatever.

Still undecided about them vs Prodigy though.

[The Nal]

Dunno whether G&B sounded total pants, it was a tiny venue after all. The vids of Howlett's crew at that Russian millionaires private party a couple of years back were hardly worthy of gig-of-the-decade accolades either.

As for Song 2 and Country House, yeah I'm not the biggest fan of either really. Both will be played at Glasto though without question.

ah ffs.

this just made me go from seeing prodigy, to now seeing blur.

song 2 is the sort of song that you skip on your ipod but live will be f**king brilliant.

Blur are hungry for this, prodigy are just going through the motions (imo). I am ditching my friends for blur, definitely. That setlist is flawless.

Its a win win for the brave souls who watch the first half of Howlett and the 2nd half of Blur.

Wonder is anyone on eFests planning such an expidition.

The Prodigy are out touring the new album and are most certainly hungry for it. 100%. And Blur are hungry to make the comeback a success.

As Wooderson says though, Breathe or Their Law...yeah...we know, we've heard them a million times. Ill be happy when those songs are over. But I can say the same for Song 2 and Country House.

However, Warriors Dance, Omen, Out of Space, Worlds on Fire. hmmm

So its essentially, for me, a choice between the high standards below.

[Wooderson]

I'm tempted, but I want to see stage times.

[hoils]

I'm off to the secret gig in London tonight. Looking forward to seeing how the smoking ban affects Alex's onstage persona.

[Wooderson]

Will you please stop putting doubts in my mind??? I had convinced myself with all that "prodigy arent hungry for it" crap and now you have made me realise it is, indeed, crap!

Argh!

It's like the Doves v Neil Young clash all over agin.

Dunno about that, the hardest thing in the world to do is turn your back on an awesome band mid set. I did it the other way around a few years ago at Oxegen, wanted to see Air live so left the Prodigy half way through. Took me 30 mins to get there, only caught 4 songs
