Blur?

[CaledonianGonzo]

yep you're right

thank god for that encore or i'm sure people would've been ready to have a little cry

To be fair, there are a few more upbeat numbers in there than I remember - but even that can be counteracted by the fact that the act on before them were The Stereophonics.

Also never seen Blur (young'un and all) - none of these late 90s sets have Caramel though which is sad. If I wanted a proper miserable set I think a 13-era Blur would be up there for me. (I quite like a miserable set... maybe that just says something about me.)

edit: Just looked it up - seems like the first time they played it was Maida Vale 2012! Blimey.

This is the setlist we got in 2012, practically perfect. The encore was certainly the highlight though. I was at the front, so I didn't experience any sound problems

That's the setlist for Hyde Park 2012 isn't it? I was at that gig and luckily was in a spot where the sound was good, absolutely amazing night. That setlist is superb as well.

[The Placid Casual]

Yeah, they were on top form that night

I got that but with Oily Water instead of Colin Zeal (and the puritan in there i think) at Wolverhampton the week before. Amazing gig, hopefully a small venue again this time instead of hyde park

[The Placid Casual]

Yeah, the warm up gigs are what I'll be keeping an eye on this year. They're bound to do a couple

[Alan_C]

I seen an article where it mentioned Scotland and Wales for the warmups. Not sure if that is it or if they're doing some more in England as well. I'll be trying for Scotland if they don't play any closer to Newcastle though. Can't justify the £300 it would cost for Hyde Park only 3 days before I leave for Glastonbury.

[The Placid Casual]

I could see Blur playing Venue Cymru in Llandudno, that'd be more than ideal for me

Bet if they do Wales though, it's a venue in the bloody south

[LondonTom]

also i know it's a bit of a shit song but i'd love them to start playing Charmless Man. don't think they've played it since they reformed surprisingly

One of my favourite Blur tunes! If they play it has to be there this time out!

Unless I've also got it completely wrong, Pulp played the other night with a This Is Hardcore heavy set.

I'd love Pulp to do a This is Hardcore heavy set!!! What a fantastic show that would be!

Graham saying the shows were getting a bit stale with the old material. Hence the new album. Good progressive attitude in fairness.

Same. My favourite Pulp album. Went to see them in Sheffield in 2012 and was chuffed to get A Little Soul, Help The Aged, Party Hard as well as This Is Hardcore obviously. Think they were meant to play Dishes and The Fear as well but couldn't fit it all in.

[neil999]

you could have a setlist something like this, whcih would be different enough i guess..

parklife

new song

new song

on your own

beetlebum

out of time

end of a century

new song

MOR

crazy beat

we've got a file on you

chemical world

the universal

to the end

sing

song 2

popscene

girls and boys

tender

[Alan_C]

I don't think they will stick to just singles outside of the new stuff. I don't think there is likely to be anything from Think Tank outside of Out Of Time either. Damon was saying the other day how there's some right stinkers on that album and he doesn't count it as a Blur album. I like it myself, especially Ambulance and Battery In Your Leg.

They'll open with Girls and Boys until the day they die (except the odd show)

Edit: This had nothing to do with your quote, sorry. I love Charmless Man though, I'd love to see it live but I can't see that happening

i love Think Tank, but, even for the ever-changing Blur, it was a bit of a weird one. very downbeat bar one or two songs

Out of Time is fantastic, but I'm not massive on the album as a whole

[ThomThomDrum]

Think Thank is a fucking top top album..............

[Callum_96]

Me and my mate have payed the 80 quid or whatever and neither of us have seen them and I can't stand Hyde Park but I did not fancy missing Blur again, if the do headline Glasto though I might look into selling my ticket cause you know Hyde Park

[hurdy]

ha well I wasnt one of them! They charge more than any other band I've seen at that venue (that I've been interesting in seeing anyway).

I was.

Although what I said was that I'd found in an arena they charged pretty much the same as anyone else. In an academy style venue they charged exactly the same which is clearly more than everyone else would charge for a smaller venue (apart from The Specials).

[The Placid Casual]

It's decent

It's no Modern Life for me though

[Wooderson]

As the years go by and my tastes change "13" looms larger and larger as their best record for me.

[Mardy]

13 is a very good record indeed. I remeber it coming out and just blowing me away. Chimed perfectly for my life at that moment. I might need to revisit 'Think Tank'. Not lsitened to it for ages. Personally I love the second half of 'Blur'

[home to you]

£120 a day ticket at Reading these days so if the Blur support is good then I'll probs get a ticket for Hyde Park

[home to you]

13 was brilliant. Love that album
