@blakefish80 yeah you're right man. I was a kid in the 90's, literally 7 years old. I was brought up on Blur because my Mum was a super fan. I think she originally got into them because she fancied Damon, but either way it set me up for life. We have 100's of taped VHS's from the 90's & this White Room one being one of them :) love this band!
@luke4djojo lol Damon and Alex are both hot and really cool, Graham is more like the cute sweet guy, which I really love too, and Dave... he is like that best friend you can tell everything to, and u know he would keep it to himself no matter what
I saw this live version before I bought the Great Escape...somehow the album version just doesn't compare to Damon screaming and banging his head on the microphone.
I remember this being aired. It was on a show called the white room on channel 4. I think they also played could be you and the universal for the first time on tv. my my what a truely wonderfull band.
all-time fave too still.. aaaaargh. I spinned like all their albums grey. ya rarely saw Best Days, Blue Jeans live, hehe.
staying heavenly hooked on Alex' bass-playing as well for his total sexxxiest rocksomeness, can't + won't ever deny =P. wuv the way he dances so ubergroovy!! and, he sure is witty alright...
nicey to have seen Alex on MTV Cribs though, wish it's also sumwhere on UTubie
It's brilliant looking through these old blur performances. They look so young in this one. . . Just reminded me how long ago this was. . and how old I am now. . . bugger
I watched this when it was originally broadcast. Fantastic to see it once again. Great performance from some of the best musicians and songwriters in recent times. Now I just need to find the TFI Friday performance of Charmless Man...
I love the song and the performance was great. I was six years old when they performed that song. It's amazing to find videos like this and you think back how old you were when they performed live on t.v.
@blakefish80 I wasn't 7 years old all the way through the 90's haha... I mean in '95 :p!
