Blur - Full Concert Live at Boston Avalon, featuring Ambulance, Beetlebum and more

Venue: Avalon Location: Boston, Massachusetts, United States Date: July 18, 2003

In July 2003, when Blur played their live set at the Avalon in Boston, they were fresh off the release of their seventh studio album, *Think Tank*, which had emerged just a few months prior, in May. This album marked a significant shift for the band, both sonically and creatively, as it introduced new influences and saw the departure of guitarist Graham Coxon during its production. The Boston show featured an array of tracks from *Think Tank*, including the opener "Ambulance" and the heartfelt "Tender." It’s interesting to note that the live performance was part of a tour that aimed to reconnect with their American audience after a long hiatus; the energy in the room during standards like "Girls & Boys" combined nostalgia with their newer material, capturing the essence of a band evolving while still honoring its roots. It was a time of exploration, with Blur embracing a more mature sound while tantalizing fans with iconic hits.
