'Blur:No Distance Left to Run' on tv

[Kowalski]

Aside from Russy being a prick as usual ,

Great film!, just watched it and I feel I have learnt alot about the band, granted I wasn't that big a blur fan before I saw them at T(They was before I got into music, I always felt them to be a bit dickishy so never really seriously checked them out, obviously I knew the big hits ), but I found it super intresting, was really well made.

Just watching the glastonbury set now, and ok yeah its not the same as being there but it seems bit like the other blur gigs, I know I will be shot down for that, but it meant a lot to people who were at Hyde Park and T, especially at T with Graham becoming ill and having the thought of Snow patrol being the last band of the weekend! But they arrived. It was the best atmosphere I have ever had at gig when tender was started at T, that was for sure a special run of gigs and so I can understand anyone who chose to go see prodigy when they was seeing Blur at Hyde Park a few days latter.

Great film - watched it last night - Graham's a sensitive soul, isn't he? I love him a little bit more...

I'm now watching the Glasto highlights and came perilously close to crying like a baby at the end of Tender. Can I go back?!

I saw Blur at Glastonbury and T in the Park last year, and the Glastonbury performance pisses all over T in the Park's, which was sadly cut short due to Graham becoming ill.

Glasto 09 was the self-proclaimed best moment of the band's career. This is enough for me to recognise it was one of only two or three gigs ive been to in my life that could be described as "important".

I missed Blur. There I said it. Annoyed I did now, but at the time I wasn't really into Blur (at all) so it wouldn't have meant as much. Do I regret it? Kind of. But I still had a brilliant night so in many ways I don't.

People miss gigs all the time. I thought Iggy was amazing in 2007 but loads of people went and saw a quiet, average set by the Killers. But then those people may not have enjoyed Iggy so each to their own.

Volta? Great album. And a great gig.

That year was all about Africa Express rather than Iggy or the Killers, actually Iggy would have been cool but Africa Express was amazing.

[strummer77]

I mean Guardian gave it 10/10. they might have rated Africa express above it to be fair!

Plus I'm still hoping it gets a cinema release here. Doubt it, but you never know

Cool story!

I wish i was Graham Coxon *sigh*

The Prodigy over Blur decision pales in comparison to the massive error I made in '97 choosing Chemical Bros over Radiohead's legendary set.

[The Nal]

Which pales in comparison to the massive error I made in '04 choosing Oasis over Chemical Bros legendary set

Great thing about Glastonbury isnt it? You will ALWAYS miss something, dont beat yourself up about it. Only one Im really pissed off about (as I totally contradict myself) is missing Iggy and the Stooges in 07, went to Fogerty instead who was class, but Iggy.......
