Blur Concert Reviews
On Saturday November 1st Blur played in Melbourne, Australia
for the first time ever. They played at Chisholm Hall at
Monash University in Caulfield.
The doors opened at about 6:00pm and by about 8:15 the support
group who were 'The Kiljoys' were on. They finished up at
8:45 and then after a long 45 minute wait, onto the stage
walked on Graham Coxon, Alex James, Dave Rowntree and then
Damon Albarn. Damon first commented on the Melbourne Cup
and then blur started the night of with Beetlebum, with
Damon playing acoustic guitar.The lads all looked fantastic.
Damon was his same energetic and jumpy self, Alex looked
cool with a fag in his mouth (of course), Dave was busy
with his drums and Graham...hmmmmm Graham he looked Brilliant.
He was wearing cream coloured pants, a blue Levis T-Shirt,
his Airwalks and to my surprise he was wearing his glasses.
Although the pleasure of seeing him with his glasses on didn't last
long because by about the 5th song he just threw them off . And
they landed on stage somewhere.
Blur then played MOR, There's No Other Way, Bad Head, Movin' On
Advert then Chemical World (This is not in the exact order,
I can't seem to remember the order of the songs, I was too
busy staring at Graham).
The guys then played Coping,
Bank Holiday, Girls & Boys, Chinese Bombs, Popscene,
Globe Alone and Country Sad Ballad Man with Damon again
playing the acoustic guitar. They then played This is a Low before
leaving the satge for a quick break.
They came back with a brass section and played The Universal,
Parklife, On Your Own and of course they ended with
Song 2 which sent the crowd MAD. After Song 2 the guys left and that was.
The end of a fantastic blur concert. And one of the most
enticipated concerts of my life!
