Blur - Tender (Jools Holland)

[trotter316]

Come on, come on .........

[MarceloLaraM]

Que Buena!!!!

[adamcoop1]

Plastic Ono Band

[AceToneRecords]

ha! alex has brought his jumbo violin again! what a nutter.

[silverscreendean]

This song makes the world a better place.

[gpeddino]

When the choir starts echoing Graham, at 4:14, it's pretty much perfect.

[Raisin2girl]

...And now my mum sings all day "COME ON COME ON COME ON!!!"

:D

[Ricsard]

hypnotic song

I wish they had played some European festivals or arenas in 2009...that Hyde Park dvd is the shit!!!!

[ashwander75]

Wish this band would have had more american success. I'm 36 and just learned about them due to a reference in an italian song. American music makes me mad and Blur is hypnotic, I love them.

[TomPhilip92]

All black backing singer... lets add a white guy.. It doest matter that he can't sing

[SCL0PS]

@TomPhilip92 Go color blind. Life is much simpler and easier that way. Color does not matter. EVER.

[DarkWings94]

mm

very good song

[MultiKippy]

i wonder if graham was acctually a boyscout,lol

[TheDeidaraMaria]

the band really loves this song, every time they play it they're bloody emotional

[TheKenney81]

takes me back

[VermontConnection]

i fell in love with blur back when i was in grade school. i'm twenty-five now and still can't decide who's hotter, damon or graham hahaha

[AxBss]

Graham Coxon is amazing!!!

[GuitarJunkyXL]

graham and alex are damn cool XDD

[mangeldeth74]

Awesome.

[mackaliscious]

i want those shades

[TenWhoWereTaken]

I like to pretend I'm a Damon, when it's pretty damn obvious that I'm a Graham.

[PalomaSupernova]

YO QUIERO UNOS ANTEOJOS COMO LOS DE DAMON!!! y tambien lo quiero a él, en lo posible... xD

I WANT GLASSES LIKE DAMON!!! And he, if possible ♥

[MultiWalrus1]

Alex James is emphatically NOT cool.

[Dermo1985]

@MultiWalrus1 Alex James is my fucking hero! Might just show just how uncool i am then, wait what the fuck is cool anyway, its all subjective!

[MultiWalrus1]

@Dermo1985 Shall we start with what "cool" isn't? Cool isn't hanging out with Tory MPs, or Jeremy Clarkson. Cool is not investing your time and money in researching cheese production only to end up with some waxy processed substance that most people agree is inedible, and then foist it onto the supermarkets of an ungrateful nation. And cool is not about becoming so middle of the road that you become a dull parody of the kind of person your own music once took the piss out of.

[Warflojd]

Haha! Playing bass with a fag in your mouth.... brilliant

[DivinaObscenidad]

This song makes me cry. So beautiful ♥

[yhit7r]

lovely song, My Treasure.

[ringafiar]

What this vid is missing is a roadie with an ashtray trying to be inconpsicuous, a la "The Tap!"

[Britmusicfan1]

The guitarist can now be seen running around in the Tardis with the Doctor and Amy Pond. Seriously, he looks just like Rory!!!

[ChickenMOOO]

Back in the days when it wasn't punishable by death to smoke on television

[824koumari]

Alex James is so cool

[obscenegrace2003]

Thumbs up if after listening to this, you know-- you can get through it.

[Redemption10000]

For those who are skeptical of the guitarist being Graham Coxon, he is. He left the band around the year 2002. if you see the jools holland performance 2000 you see it is him.

[TheFuktastic]

Where is bass guitar? Never mind. That THING is much better. Go Alex!

[dschiter]

oh my baby, oh my baby, oh my.

[56postoffice]

excellent song one of their best. Much love XD

[lounoiry]

i want tht aviator...badly..

[endroudaulat]

is that graham coxon? as far as i know he left blur when 2007

[GreenFloyd12]

@endroudaulat Well this is in 99, so that still may be true.

[fabiobeatle]

Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee forever!

[limatedman]

Dont sport the glasses Damon

[khaymanib]

I once talked to Graham Coxon in a subway in Liverpool. I asked him Who he was and when he told me his name I stood up so fast i spilt my chips and red bull all over the floor then I looked up and he was gone. That was the best moment of my life.

[schieese]

@khaymanib hahaha

[TheDeidaraMaria]

@khaymanib but u absolutely ruined it

[Goodywagon]

@TheDeidaraMaria haha! and that is a haha with a !

[meatlikeproduct]

@khaymanib celebrities like it when you're crazy

[BeatlesOasisCash]

Graham Coxon is certainly one of the greatest guitarists of his generation, if not the best.

[Sham3214]

London Communtiy Gospel Choir...not the same without them

[kasra333]

i wanna see the world through those orange glasses

[gonzazalo]

genialidad total, que estos grupos no dejen nunca de producir

[danmang92]

OASIS!

[gonzazalo]

@danmang92 blur! coño



[kazzaflaz]

@danmang92

And??? Lol!

I love Oasis too, and I love Blur aswell!

What does that make me......Bi-Britpop?!! Lol! <3 xxx

[Alisonewebb]

I do wish people would quit moaning about pointless bulls#&t, this is one of the best bands and this is an amazing song !! Who gives a f"!k if there smoking !!!

[MrCouldbeakiller]

no description necessary

[Fishergaz]

Damon (singer) went to Africa to record an album with popular African musicians called Mali Music and had a number one album with a cartoon band. Guitarist Graham has had a successful solo career and a moderate career as a visual artist and recorded with Paul Weller. Bassist, Alex is a cheese farmer and newspaper columnist and had a band Keith KeIth Allen called Fat Les and drummer Dave ran as a Labour Councilor. And the band is back together with Graham. Phew!

[aquariussouldier]

Fucking LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!

[KristinKellyrose]

That upright bassist is smokin and playing.. fkn rock n roll!

[annodyne]

@KristinKellyrose I noticed that too and I though how high does he have to be that he cannot stop chain smoking during a performance on tv? Especially since it looks like there are choir ppl who make money on their voices and cigarettes utterly destroy the voice, was kinda rude of him.

[theinfideluk]

@annodyne rock n roll dude... punk's not dead eh? FFS......

[dpw81]

Amaze. Purest form.

[essexVSaussie]

God's at Albarn's partys... 

[Meseism]

I know this may sound odd, but Damon Albarn has a perfect nose

[Guillermin85]

@Meseism I'm sure his dealer agrees with you.

[Guillermin85]

@Meseism

I'm sure his dealer agrees with you.

[Goodywagon]

@Meseism Lotta blow up that thar nose.

[Gantrey]

damon looks like elton! in some way with that glasses haha

[UKrulesOK1]

awesome !!

[UnCuoreCheBatte]

god i remember when in the 97' they sang song 2...they were crazy :)

[Colliermoose]

Well Blur's albums are consistently better than Oasis. But both bands are pretty legendary now. This is a top song. In fact this live performance sounds almost identical to the studio recording.

Why slate Oasis when there are forces of talentless evil like Bieber to take care of?

[Liam2621]

where does he put his cigarette ash? Theres no ashtray

[facemeltaxe]

Graham Coxon IS Blur forget damon and the rest

[rachelmacc]

alex is just so fly with his cigarette ^^

[trekex61]

does'nt get better than this

[seriousmachines]

In so love this song....this is a great video...thanks for posting...Gary/The Fletchers

[dalila1116]

woww super song fascinate me, love me, they're great

[sarahgardom]

Blur are the best band in the world! Oasis are crap! I wouldnt say no to Daman Albarn by the way lol! ;)

[sarahgardom]

Blur are the best band in the world! Oasis are crap!

[glitterfreeze1111]

I think Damon had a head cold- probably wouldn't be the first time he'd gone on stage sick.

[eltirano28]

wow this is amazing...thinktank and 13 are their best records



[TheFartoholic]

James is cool as fuck

[dongeros8]

someone can say when this happens?

[MizukiZOMBIE]

Love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it.

[varfk000]

@DarClaude no there's champagne supernova

[franc2000]

@varfk000 good banter

[DarClaude]

Blur v Oasis , This song is a classic example of the depth of feeling Oasis could never convey.

As rock n Roll as Oasis may have been they just weren't in the same universe as Bands like Blur & Radiohead etc when it comes to songs that continually touch the soul, the good old test of time is now providing us proof of that.... IMHO!

[maurolinga]

Alex James = fucking cool dude

[dermotwalker]

Jesus, how stoned is the guy on bass!

[bindestreck]

those fucking shades!

[zlatna66]

tender is the song

[idle44]

very 70's. And very likesomething I owned then. Perhaps Bowie? The line ' Loves the greatest thing' is so familar...But a good track

[sariben7]

Awesome they got Harry Potter on guitar and back-up vox



[frenkmelk]

@sariben7 you can tell he was on loan from scouts...that is how he earned his ROCK badge!

[franklinproject]

one of the best guitarist England has ever seen in ages.bytheway he's pretty potter.;)

[Togmif]

@sariben7 Graham Coxon is much cooler than Harry Potter

[Maegirl66]

@sariben7 what!!! graham's adorable <3

[kevm24z]

classic! fuckin is 'arry.

[Infereltts]

These were the best years of Blur's Damon before forming the Gorillaz although I always have liked more of Blur by training them (Graham, Damon, Alex and Dave).

One feature that can be compared to the Oasis or even better.

[Infereltts]

Esses foram os Melhores anos de Blur antes do Damon formar o Gorillaz apesar de eu sempre ter gostado mais do Blur pela formação deles (Graham, Damon, Alex and Dave).

Uma formação que pode ser comparada a do Oasis ou até mesmo, melhor.

[j66hng]

Alex James.

I dislike you.

A lot.

[ScaryMonstahh]

Damon Albarn rocks.

Who is that guy that is just standing around with his arms folded?

[kazzaflaz]

@Josezitoreq I played this to my son the other day, and he does remember! He even started singing some of it:) Got a lump in my throat and shivers up my spine <3 Great memories :o) xxx

[andrew2607]

@kazzaflaz to be honest, i doubt he remembers it because you used to play it to him...it's an extremely famous song...

[devilrobbie25]

THE BASS PLAYER SMOKING THE AT THE START HAHA FUCKING CLASS

[boogerkingcrown]

damon albarn vs. jason pierce, discuss:

[kazzaflaz]

Beautiful <3

I used to sing this to my son when if was little,

He's 18 now, I wonder if he remembers? :) x

[Josezitoreq]

@kazzaflaz He doesn't

[comanchio1976]

@kazzaflaz If only you could ask him...

[Valiand]

@kazzaflaz 18?

What do you mean? this song is 1999  ¬¬

[jtuning6]

@Valiand The son could be 6 years old... 2011-1999=12 years ago. 18-12=6 years old.

And for sure the boy remembers and loves this amazing song like us... Cheers

[kazzaflaz]

@jtuning6 Thanks for clearing that up, and explaining, (in simple terms , to a simple minded @Valiand!) that my son was 6 years old, at the time I used to sing this to him :)

My now 18 yr old son really does remember me singing this beautiful song to him when he was a little boy, and he loves it too <3 Thanks again @jtuning <3 xxx

[jtuning6]

@kazzaflaz You're welcome @kazzaflaz I love to read how do you feel with this songs, it sounds amazing!!! It's really nice that him does remember some part of the lyrics. Thanks for your words

[SuperPeace191]

I Love Blur their awesome:).

[RoughOutlineProduce]

Love how it just pans over to a f**k off massive cello with James just nonchalantly smoking a fag.

[VaNSaNT85]

3:02 coxon almost missed that chord D:

[galle03]

@VaNSaNT85 looks like it, but it's kind of a pull-off between the chords :O.

[galle03]

@VaNSaNT85 looks like it, but it's kind of a pull-off between the chords :O.
