Blur

Back in November 1990, when Blur took to the stage at the University of London Union, they were riding high on the waves of their debut album, "Leisure," which had dropped just a few months earlier in August. This record marked the band's entry into the Britpop scene with its blend of catchy melodies and laid-back vibes. It’s fascinating to note that songs from "Leisure," like "There's No Other Way" and "She's So High," populated the setlist for this live show, showcasing the band's early sound and charm. The ULU gig also came at a pivotal moment, as Blur was still finding their identity amidst the evolving UK music landscape. This performance would have been electric, with enthusiastic fans soaking in the fresh energy of a band on the verge of something big. Who knew that just a few years later, they’d be icons of a whole genre? The rawness of that live recording captures the essence of that early stage, full of youthful exuberance and potential.
