Back to: Archive · 1998 NME "Glastonbury 1998" pullout review of Blur's performance This stadium lark is truly effortless for Blur these days. But that doesn't stop them putting considerable heart into a beautifully melancholic 'Beetlebum', a sublime 'End Of A Century' (dedicated to Judy 'Richard & Judy' Finnegan!) and a bolshy 'Popscene'. The inevitable 'we are weird' Coxonian psyche-out bits ensue mid-set, but Blur can just as easily reactivate material from 'Leisure' as introduce a bizarre new number recorded for the South Park cartoon series because they were the original band who didn't know who, why, or what they were, and still insist on not wanting to know. They finish with the inevitable blow-out of 'Song 2'. But not before they've captured the mood of the day with the penultimate number. It's called 'Death Of A Party'. I blame Michael Fish. |
