10 Excellent Blur Performances
Hopefully the Britpop icons’ Olympics-closing gig will be as awesome as these vintage clips.
Blur will close out the Olympics in London on Sunday night by headlining a massive gig in Hyde Park alongside fellow British pop icons New Order and the Specials. Blur’s musical style shifted a lot over the course of seven albums and dozens of B-sides, but they were always an exceptional and highly energetic live band. Here are ten videos of Blur at their best, ranging from ultra-campy theatrical pop and aching balladry to hyperactive punk and atmospheric art rock.

itmustbeken 9 months agoIs it wrong to have looked forward to this for the entire Olympics? And of course NBC will completely ignore it…. A friend saw Blur at Euston station last week. They were polite, posed for photos and were generally lovely men. My friend is thinking of leaving her husband and marrying the entire band. Understandable.
