"Beetlebum" (Live at Rough Trade East) - blur

"Secret" gig at Rough Trade East, London, 15 June 2009.

We had to collect wristbands (only 170 available) at Brixton Academy during the day, then we were sent a text at 5pm to tell us that the gig was going to be at Rough Trade East. Yeah, I capped out my Oyster card that day but it was so worth it.

One of my favourite blur tracks, if not THE favourite.

Methinks Alex was totally making love to my camera, lol. Graham is also smiling and laughing in this vid too. A rare sight.

Oh gawd, my arm hurt so much after holding the camera up for nearly 6 minutes. But now we have this pretty thing to watch forever and ever. Yay.
