Blur - The Universal (Reading 2003)

[lm94facepalm]

no Graham Coxon .... :(

[aegallandra]

i just realised... i was there!! in the presence of gods ;)

[Jakestain]

great voice sounds like on the record

[lutont59]

Blur's best work. Inspiring.

[MrSandman9151]

For the last time yes! Damon Albarn, esteemed singer of the blur, went on to create one of the greatest bands in history, the gorillaz (in collab. With jamie hewlett)

[macafri]

lol what is wrong with blur fans, they cannot cheer blur without bashing oasis... anyway... great song

[claysadventures]

BLUR

[anghulinghiling]

the band i love most.

[wildboyppp]

this was great 4 mins of my life (:

[XanaxHoe69]

Oasis is undeniably a great rock band. Blur, on the other hand, is one of the greatest musical acts of the century. I'd say they're the best English band since the Beatles.

[TheUltraDude]

First time hearing Blur.

Awesome :)

[priscilla87mx]

they rock!

[Francisco358]

buen tema, aunque me gusta mas el video original

[tyronerodgers]

Stop the exhausted and stupid Oasis Blur debate, shut up and listen to the music

[gizmo23ph]

... great performance!...it's just not the same without graham...

[21LondonCalling]

I'm looking for their performance of "Tender" at this same concert. Does anyone know where I can find that?

[radpen]

Brilliant

[oswaldoasis]

wonderwall it´s much better ......XD

[MrKnuckles8978]

@oswaldoasis Oasis sucks ass...

[oswaldoasis]

@MrKnuckles8978  fuck off lol

[MrKnuckles8978]

@oswaldoasis They play it safe musically, ANYBODY can make music like that. I'm a fucking musician I know a little bit about it.  Damon Albarn takes risks that's why he gets my vote.

[oswaldoasis]

@MrKnuckles8978im musician too fucking idiot ...whatever.... i like oasis.....i think that oasis its much better... its my opinion

[MrKnuckles8978]

@oswaldoasis You're a musician huh? What are your influences (besides Oasis) and what do you play?

[Dodgygear]

I was at this gig, crowd surfed to this song.

[nightscapenoise]

oh damon you are so beautifuL <3 <3 <3

[osito060308]

i agree oasis did something amazing that is so inspire alote of kids to start bands bout BLUR explored alote more than oasis so they took alote more risks than oasis because oasis after morning glory the only thing it kept them going was the fucking money they werent a real band.

[funkymish]

Alex James is my man crush. lol

[Tomahawk1505]

he sounds like david bowie here

[OscarHracsO]

Never realised how much Damon's voice kicked ass

[StoWhoFranz]

Tnx Damon, for this song

[a6123annie]

love this

[sLaaam40]

great!

[emay75wildcats]

seems like a fun show to go to.. its good to see the entire crowd into it

[deysi307]

Amazing song !

[russell111]

Cant to see them at Hyde Park next month :D

[acidjazzlover]

me too ;)

[nblBer]

don't get why everybody is so mad with Simon Tong. Hes descent guitarist. They could've carried on with him

[FlyingMango94]

Yeah, Simon's a decent guitarist, but he's not Graham, is he?

I'm not "mad at him" though, that's totally stupid. It's not like it's his fault that Graham left.

[recordmasta001]

amazing

[playdohtheatre]

They BETTER come to the U.S.....

[chalklava]

AGREED!!!!!!!! 100%

[lMaximumlHeat]

MEN anyone?

[harrytheblurfan]

[VCK9009]

[Rorykdy]

Mon The T! Glasto Kent!

[Desaintexupery]

Will Damon be able to perform parklife and hits at hyde park?I hope he can stil be a jumping man

[CyNN82]

[petepiepete]

[VCK9009]

GLASTONBURY '09!

[Boberno]

has it been confirmed?

[VCK9009]

Not officially but it's pretty clear now.

[Smosikas2]

Blur 4 ever !!!

[imanegativecreep]

I need this at Hyde Park.

[Wootlol200]

Beter than wonderwall in my opinion. im not saying wonderwall is a bad song.

[FlyingMango94]

Yes, I totally agree! The first time I heard this song I almost cried, it's so beatiful and perfect. Wonderwall is a great song too, and I won't go hating on Oasis, but in my opinion it's completely overrated.

[xlionelgarcia]

please tour the states ,CHICAGO U.S.A

[xlionelgarcia]

BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!

[TheBrainyOne]

We'd be seeing this again in July 2009!!! :D

[KaoruArika]

So much a beautiful song... and this nearly made me cry...

[fips30537]

REUNION in 2009!!!

[dsignrdane]

yes it really should happen - blur's the best

[T2b123]

I teard up when Damon Raised his hand proudly and sang, also at the end where the crowed was singing then Damon looked.... Such an amazing person Damon is.

[beatsurrender]

everytime I watch this video, I almost die of crying.

so brilliant!! so beautiful!!

[uktah]

Blur is amazing innit

[VCK9009]

Stunning. Just stunning.

[lordzhuge]

easily their best song I think. I don't it has ever sounded so epic. wow

[Earnest66]

Damon looks like Roman Abramovich...or is it the other way round?

[yasminx16]

HAHA! MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! I love this song! Why oh why did i only discover blur 2 years ago :(

[SShinX2off]

does indeed. but i think it's the other way round ;)

[tsong64]

way better than wonderwall

[Renegademaster15]

@tsong64 This is Blur's best song by a long shot, Wonderwall isn't Oasis's best song by a very very long shot, what is your point?

[TomGreenUK]

I have never seen them and am dying to as I grew up with their music, I hope they reform.

[albarnaholic]

They will do it

[roddypipe]

epic.. this 4:03 minutes of bytes in cyberspace will be remember forever...

thanks blur!

[TheConspiracyofSeeds]

Beautiful he's a good soul is our Damon this is one is for us good people.

[musicalsimsy]

the last minute is so moving.. Damon says "thank you very much Reading.. thank you", holds the mike in the air and the whole crowd sings the outro, you can see he is loving it. one of the best performances of the best song of all time.

[joshblackburn]

Watching this song is the greatest festival moment i have ever had. Watching this again brings it all back, everything from the picture frame lights on the stage to Damon's look of pure enjoyment at hearing thousands of people sing the words he wrote. I'll never forget being in the crowd for that moment.

[findingemo2004]

I remember that moment so well, never thought i would see it again, was one of the best moments of my life

[Wootlol200]

omg awesome audience

[irawan76]

i agree useless, great memories!!! and i remember they said to the inxs singer, i am richer than you in a award...

[uselessgeneration1]

Seeing this brings back a lot of happy memorys that was a damn good night it is a shame coxon wasn't with them anymore but non the less i'm glad to have seen blur

[votexmanzoni]

FUCKING GREAT!

[jimm06126]

It's hard to see how time makes people change, I remember blur, damon wearing jeans, tshirt, and the hair falling on his face, now he's wearing a suit, shined shoes, and had different posture, but the music and the ideals remains the same, thanks for that, I'd hate them if they sold themselves out to politics like U2greenday

[radioheadyorke]

and when the bands sell themselves it means that 

they never were artists

[flamingblur13]

Damon did use a suit in Popscene, circa 94 (maybe before) and he was way younger

[lickicatsbum]

I went to this festival not that fond of blur and left the festival a huge blur fan and still love them to this day

[trucuku1982]

that's awesome!!...i'm jealous, i live in Chile and maybe i'll never see them live :(

[MarthianVanhaus]

heeey mee too, im from Chile too!!, and im a huge blur fan!!!...i really want to see them livee, but its really dificult :(

[imanegativecreep]

Perhaps because they're not together anymore....????????

[flamingblur13]

Yeah, in 1999 they were supossed to be in there ain´t it?? mmmhhh, quizás debí escribirte en español... si te consuela te diría que no son tan buenos... pero desafortunadamente si lo son.

[Carlos2012Ms]

@trucuku1982 maybe they will get together.

[votexmanzoni]

@trucuku1982 Obligados de por vida a verlos por Youtube, aunque se rumorea que comienzan a grabar en Enero del 2011...

[marhadiasak]

Makes me cry. It's like the "goodbye Blur" on the last scene. "Just... Let them go..." T_T

[blackdice23]

I was at Leeds the night before, I wasn't expecting much, but they were triumphant, and for me, the last I'd see of Blur. I think it's good that they've called it a day, end on a high and all that...

[NDW58]

still a cool song years later.

[Rahaha24]

oh and it was the final song of the main set... they did like a 7 song encore ending on This Is A Low

[Rahaha24]

i've been waiting for years to see this again! thank you so much

[BooShank]

Pure Britpop.

[jimm06126]

no, they're far from that

[jolvier]

that Bowie voice he puts on lol

[pallidio3]

awesome

thanks for sharing

[Systii]

on stage i rather young damon !
