Blur

Back in June 1997, when Blur performed "Song 2" live at APC Studios in Atlanta, they were riding high on the success of their self-titled album "Blur," released just a year earlier. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, steering away from the Britpop aesthetic that defined their earlier works like "Parklife." Not only did "Blur" feature a mix of styles—from the more introspective tunes to the high-energy anthems—tracks like "Song 2" became rallying cries for the band's fearless experimentation. It's also fascinating to note that this particular live performance came during a period when Blur was undergoing a transformation in their identity, as they began exploring more American rock influences. The raw energy captured in this recording symbolizes the band's sense of reinvention, and the infectious chorus of “Woo-hoo!” still resonates with fans today, echoing their dynamic evolution from the '90s Britpop scene.
