Sorry the photos aren't amazing quality but you get the general idea. Blur in Hyde Park this friday were AMAZING, absolutely everything i could have hoped for, Damon and the boys certainly did not disappoint in any way. The best thing about the gig other than the gig itself was that I went with Ruth and Jen who I shared Blur the first time with. we got very nostalgic as we sung through so many of the songs of our teenage years. Britpop truely was amazing and Blur certainly have lasted the test of time - still reigning victorious where so many others have fallen by the wayside (menswe@r? sleeper? ruth? anyone?). It was really lovely to see them alltogther again and i really enjoyed the Think Tank songs now being played by Graham as well.
For me I think the highlight was 'to the end' what an amazingly brilliant song which captured the moment of us all falling in love with blur all over again perfectly "well you and i collapsed in love and it looks like we might have made, made it to the end". Also i saw a boy with a lovely tattoo 'to the end' written in small letters just above his elbow, lovely stuff. Paklife was also a pretty immense moment as we were in the park it was written about and they brought on Phil Daniels (Kevin Wicks form Eastenders) to perform with them. oi. So so so happy. Damon even claimed that this gig was even better than the night before's.
One things which was a bit strange was that there was virtually no one under 20 there, the beauty that is blur is totally lost on them which is why i guess my little bro couldn't find any mates to go with him and I got to take mine instead (hurrah!)
So thanks Mum for an awesome Christmas present, what a shame that you and Dad couldn't make it, ahem.
I really would recommend checking their Glastonbury set out while its still on iplayer.
