Anyone had an enormous spliff whilst listening to it? Please provide feedback. Strikes me as a perfick listen for such funtimes.

Ahaaa! I had a banger while listening to it last night. The slower and more delicate sequences were amplified and quite striking. Spaceman I hadn't really appreciated. Mary Jane opened my eyes to its understated beauty.

I'm on maybe my 4th listen and it keeps improving. I adore Ghost Ship. It's very "soft Gorillaz" but the noodly guitar from Graham is irreplaceable.

Actually, assuming a 18-20 song set. Those six new ones, 8-9 big crowd pleasers:

Girls & Boys

Parklife

There's No Other Way

Beetlebum

Song 2

Tender

Out of Time

The Universal

And 4/5 fan favourites:

Sing

This Is A Low

Caramel

For Timorrow

And I'd say you've got a hell of a set list.

No coffee and tv would kill me

Hehehe it was the Steely Dan sheen to Ghost Ship that had me pining for a numbah.

I think they'd drop Out Of Time, I think including it on previous tours was something of an olive branch from Graham to show that he'd moved on after being kicked out of the sessions.

The band's not doing a career retrospective now, I don't see why they should include anything from Think Tank. As much as I like the record, it's not a proper Blur album.

doing a free show at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg, which is a great intimate venue short of 1000. Has to be first gig in US in over a decade surely, this century even? will be trying in a few hours' time to get a ticket

It's really good. Couple video snippets from the raw jams that took place in Hong Kong. Very frank & emotional stuff from Graham.

Aye, really enjoyed it! Good to see that Graham was such a driving force behind the record/sessions. Very honest words from Damon too

Surely those fan favourites would be more likely to be nixed for a Glastonbury headline slot than the likes of Country House and End of a Century?

I'd say this is a low is one of the crowd pleasers, no?

Not sure on that one. I love that song and you can tell the band love playing it too. Whether or not your casual Blur fan would be pining for it? I'm not convinced. It would be a staple on any blur set list regardless.

I'd imagine core songs that would be there no matter what would be:

Beetlebum

Song 2

Country House

Tender

Coffee and TV

For Tomorrow

Parklife

Advert

Popscene

Girls and Boys

There's no other way

The Universal

This is a low

End of a Century

To the End

Make room for 5-6 of the new songs. Then a few select from the back catalogue. I would love for them to do Badhead or Charmless Man. That's a 23-24 song set list that would smash glastos back doors in

I'm always surprised by how little reaction Popscene gets. We were the only ones particularly up for it every time I've seen them. It's not a song you hear on the radio much either, and most of my friends don't know it, I feel like its got lost a bit over time. Hope they stick with it though.

I'd happily see song 2, parklife and country house dropped. But I know that wont happen.

I thought Sing was a hit wasnt it? I always thought that was one of their more well known songs. Probably wrong like!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
