Blur - I'm All Over Live at Town and Country, London
Back in February 1991, when Blur took to the stage at the Town and Country Club in London, they were just beginning to make waves in the music scene with their self-titled debut album, "Leisure," released in 1991. This album, a cornerstone of the Britpop wave, showcased the band’s mix of alternative rock and hints of shoegaze, with tracks rich in catchy melodies and longing lyrics. "I'm All Over," performed live that night, captures an energetic essence of their early sound, a blend of youthful exuberance and raw emotion. Notably, this period marked the band's transition from energetic performances in small venues to larger stages, setting the stage for their iconic album "Modern Life Is Rubbish," which would come out in 1993. It’s fascinating how this live performance represents a pivotal moment—before Blur fully embraced their Britpop identity, they were still carving their niche, navigating the music landscape with a unique charm that would soon define a generation.
