Blur

In 1998, Blur was riding high on a wave of substantial success, thanks largely to their album "Blur," released just a year prior. They had successfully transitioned from Britpop darlings with their previous work to a more experimental sound that was evident on "Blur." This live recording of "Song 2" at Glastonbury 1998 captures the band at a pivotal moment—a wild performance that showcased their evolution and hinted at the alternative rock influences that were cementing their place in music history. "Song 2" became not just a fan-favorite but an anthem of sorts, with its infectious chorus and punchy guitar riffs, and Glastonbury proved to be the perfect backdrop for this exuberant display. Interestingly, this set marked a significant turn in the band's journey, as they navigated the transition from their early Britpop days into more eclectic sounds that would define their later work. Who could forget the adrenaline of those live moments?
