Graham Coxon Performs You're So Great at El Club in Detroit
In 2018, just before that intimate live recording of "You're So Great" captured at El Club in Detroit, Blur was celebrating the legacy of their illustrious career, especially with the 2015 release of "The Magic Whip." This album marked a significant comeback, showcasing a refreshed dynamic among the band members after more than a decade of exploration in solo and side projects. It was their first studio album in over 12 years, and it stirred excitement not just for its slick production, but also for how it brought the quirky, British alt-rock sound back into the limelight. Graham Coxon, with his trademark jagged guitar lines, really shines in this live performance, evoking a nostalgic yet fresh vibe, much like the album that reignited their spark. Did you know that “You’re So Great” was co-written by Coxon himself? It’s a song that often hints at the more introspective side of Blur, and hearing it live in such a cozy setting really showcases the band’s enduring connection with their fans.
