Review: Blur's Live at Wembley Stadium captures the iconic Britpoppers at their monumental height, when the reformed foursome performed two nights in July 2023 in front of sold out crowds. On triple LP, this is the most robust of the two versions on vinyl that highlight the concert. The band effortlessly plays highlights from their entire 30 plus year career - everything from early singles 'There's No Other Way' and 'Popscene' to the much more recent 'The Narcissist' - as well as anthems like 'Girls and Boys', 'Song 2' and 'Parklife' that are synonymous with the Essex band. You also here one of their last singles in 'The Narcissist'. Not too many bands can fill a venue like Wembley Stadium on back to back nights - the electric performances captured here are the reason why they can.
Review: Blur's performance at Wembley Stadium on July 9, 2023, displayed the band's enduring charisma in all its glory. The sold-out show captivated the 90,000-strong crowd with an energetic mix of classic hits and bold new material. The concert kicked off with 'St Charles Square,' setting a high bar with its bold new wave flair, the energy growing as much loved singles like 'There's No Other Way,' 'End Of A Century' and 'Country House' fly by. Guitarist Graham Coxon's distinctive style shines throughout, especially during 'Out Of Time' and the bluesier moments that follow it, while Albarn's emotional connection with the crowd is evident on 'Beetlebum' and 'Under The Westway.' The night concludes with a high-spirited encore, featuring 'Girls And Boys' and the uplifting 'The Universal,' making it clear that Blur still have the power to enchant and engage on a grand scale.
