Blur Showtime pt 4 - Tracy Jacks/ Magic America

I made this one a clip of the next two songs in the fil. Tracy Jacks and Magic America are both from the album Parklife which is most Blur fans favorite. I have to say that some of my favorite Blur songs are on Parklife but The Great Escape is still my very favorite. To me it is just a perfect album, the production is so prestine and any album with a song like Best Days has to be at the top of my list.

You look at this video - I imagine its from the late 90s - and their look hasn't dated at all. Brilliant, imaginitive music, cool look, these were heady days for British music and Blur were right at the forefront.

The concert was actually late 95'

@ciaran3707 Telecaster -->Marshall. I doubt Graham was the first to do it, but he really maximized the sonic potential of that combination. The "twanginess" of the tele really works well with Blur's style, especially with the the playful feel of Parklife. The crunch and punch of the Marshall helped "drive it home," as they say. One of my favorite guitar players ever. He is consistently underrated and overlooked, which is a shame, because he's one of the best of the past 20 years.

'Britpop' might have been another dodgy term invented by journalistic tossers, but the music in this era is pretty fucking special.

Magic America is such an underrated tune btw.

Damon he always the man of my dreamm

[soypedofrito]

Damon's accent is specially mock-cockney here xD

Ah, I love Tracy Jacks and this performance. I love Graham (:

@KeepItSmooth it was in 1994, not 1995

Great guitar tone. I know Graham's style of playing is pretty unique but even so I'm surprised that type of guitar tone isn't more prevalent.

Graham's CHERYL T-shirt is just a legend (and such are the man wearing it and the band!!)
