What a reunion. It was truly a homecoming gig for Blur.It was a small venue. It was packed in, but not too crowded. Perhaps about 800 people were there. I like this sort of venue.
The band came on at 8.45 pm and opened the night with 'She's So High' and 'Girls & Boys'. The band had added a 3-men horn section and 3 back-up singers at the side to add to the layers and texture. Blur was obviously warming up for their gigs at Glastonbury Festival and Hyde Park. It was 1.5 hours of pure nostalgia and enjoyment.
Some of the friends wiggled right up front. The man and I went straight to the back- for a very good reason. Damon Albarn, with his gawdy gold chain (and gold tooth!) was flinging water at the crowd. The crowd responded by flinging right at one another- beer and whatnots. Eiooow. I no want to get wet.
2 encores of 3 songs each. The night ended on a great note of 'The Universal'.
See the little girl perched on her mommy's shoulders? She was throwing up her hands in the air all night to songs that she liked. We were absolutely tickled by this young fan.
What a night!
