Blur

In May 2013, when Blur performed "Song 2" live at the Big Sound Festival in Jakarta, they were basking in the resurgence of their career, having reunited for a series of performances after a hiatus. Just prior to this electrifying performance, they had released “The Magic Whip,” their first album in over a decade, earlier that same month. This album marked a significant return to form, showcasing the band's evolution while still capturing the essence that made them iconic in the '90s Britpop wave. It was interesting to note that this particular gig fell into the band's wider tour, which focused not only on promoting the new material but also on celebrating their extensive catalog. Fans were treated not just to nostalgia, but also to a glimpse of how Blur's sound had matured, melding fresh vibes with that classic energy, especially evident in a high-octane song like "Song 2." The live recording serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and ability to connect with audiences, regardless of the distance in years.
