Blur setlist?

[bearman🐻]

Does anyone know what songs Blur have been playing on this tour?  Anyone have a typical setlist?  I'm curious to know what I'll be hearing or (more likely what I WON'T get to hear). I'm listening to "Modern Life is Rubbish" and have a strong feeling they won't play anything from it, except maybe "Popscene" if I'm lucky.

Never mind...just found one for their Seattle gig, and it's pretty OK actually. Lots of new stuff though:
 
 ambulance
 beetle bum
 girls and boys
 badhead
 gene by gene
 for tomorrow
 sweet song
 moroccan peoples revolutionary bowls club
 tender
 caravan
 out of time
 crazy beat
 brothers and sisters
 to the end
 song 2
 trimm trabb
 battery in you leg
 
 popscene
 on the way to the club
 we've got a file on you
 this is a low

that looks like a pretty good set, quite generous in its amount of old singles.
 
 I saw set lists from the London Astoria gigs and feeling like it would have been terrible.
 
 I might actually start looking forward to this show now, maybe.

I'm honestly really surprised to see Badhead and To the End in there.  Of course being the U.S., I'm not surprised to see Song 2 and Girls & Boys. However, it's good to see they are still doing For Tomorrow, Popscene, and This Is a Low.  Beetlebum is also another favorite of mine.  It should be a decent show, I'm glad that they're playing at the 9:30 though and not Nation.

Well i listened to the new CD last night and it was just plain awful. Please tell me their old stuff isnt incredibly boring and slow......I'd hate to think i spent money to listen to Starsailor all over again!!!!!!!!!  :confused:

the new album is much worse than starsailor.

The new album is very different than a lot of their previous material.  I wouldn't say it's awful, but I prefer to listen to their happier, Brit-pop stuff like "Modern Life is Rubbish" and "Parklife". And people will scoff, but I honestly love "Leisure", their first LP.  Once upon a time, Blur wrote some good pop songs. This last LP isn't the worst I've heard, but I think it's my least favorite.  I've finally grown into "13", so maybe this one will make more sense once I've seen the songs performed live.  I still think it will be worth going to, but I doubt it will be as good as when I saw them in 1996.

well if anyone has extra tickets, or tickets they'd like to get rid off let me know... cos Im going to the show and get some outside since its sold out...

Hmmm.  This topic really is too subjective.  IMHO Think Tank is the best cd they've done, but has it's valleys.  I brushed off Parklife recently after some years and what I remembered is far better than what I heard.  13 was certainly different and Think Tank is nowhere near that "out there" but has flashes of brilliance far exceeding any of their earlier work.  I saw them at field day and thought they performed the new stuff rather charmingly.

BLUR ARE SHITE.
 
 sorry, just a mogwai die hard.  i saw blur at st andrews years ago, and if they play any pre-"whoo-hoo" stuff it should be fun.

I'm surprised that nobody else has posted about last night's Blur show (unless I missed it somewhere). I thought it was absolutely phenomenal.  21 songs total, plenty of oldies, something from every album except "Leisure".  When they played "The Universal" I just about wet myself.  What a great song. And the version of "Tender" they did was just sublime.  All in all, I thought it was a fantastic gig. THey looked and sounded great, and all the new songs from "Think Tank" translated well live.  I am really glad I didn't miss that one.  The only other time I saw them that was better was the last night of their tour in 1996 at the Capitol Boiler Room...and maybe in 1994 at the Vic Theater in Chicago when Pulp opened.  But it was a fun night.

I was at the gig last night and I was impressed.  Think Tank took a while to grow on me, but I like it for the most part.  I could've done without "on the way to the club" and "brothers and sisters."  For whatever reason, those songs don't do it for me.  I'd have preferred "Sweet Song" as that's one of the best on the album, along with "Good Song."  And "Battery In Your Leg" is amazing, gives me chills like "Sing" always did.  The "Universal" was quite a surprise, dug it when Damon gave Alex a peck on the cheek at the end.  It was a real good time,

I was there last night and even though i know nothing about Blur except for the obvious two songs i was quite impressed. They were great, I have a feeling they are a better live band then cd band. Anyways i was glad i didnt miss it and would definetely see them again, of course i would buy some of their old stuff so i'd know more about them.
