Blur - Live 105 BFD4 Full Concert featuring Country Sad Ballad Man, Girls & Boys, Song 2

Venue: Shoreline Amphitheatre Location: Mountain View, California, United States Date: June 13, 1997

Let’s take a trip back to the summer of 1997, when Blur was riding the wave of their monumental impact on Britpop. Just prior to the live recording at Shoreline Amphitheatre, the band had released their fifth studio album, *Blur*, just a year earlier in 1997. This self-titled album marked a significant shift in their sound, showcasing a more eclectic mix that incorporated elements of lo-fi, pop, and even a touch of American alternative rock. The setlist for that June show features crowd favorites like "Girls & Boys" and "Song 2," both of which capture the band's knack for catchy hooks and an upbeat vibe that would have had the audience buzzing. Interestingly, this performance happened just as they were transitioning from their Britpop roots into more experimental territory, which would fully blossom in their following album, *13*. It's intriguing to think of how this concert encapsulated a pivotal moment for Blur, reflecting both their past success and their evolving musical journey.
