Ancora non si sa chi fara' loro da spalla il 3 luglio. Pare che dopo giugno intendano fare show sempre diversi e particolari. Staremo a vedere.

Damon Albarn su "Country House"

"If there was any song that I really wanted to exercise and be reborn, it would be that one, because, you know, it was such a stupid moment.
I am determined to do a version of 'Country House' that works. Graham playing a really nice picky, folky thing and my friend David Coulter playing the whole tune on saw, and letting the audience sing."

Non la suonano da un pezzo, nel tour di 13 non la suonarono, neanche in quello di Think Tank

Albarn also confirmed Blur are set to perform a set of smaller warm-up gigs before the big shows, with the first likely to be in Albarn and Coxon's home town of Colchester in Essex.

He said of the much-anticipated reunion: "It's gonna be really beautiful, hopefully, fingers crossed. It's gonna be either really beautiful or the most horrific mistake ever!"

naaa inutile che ci provano, "Country House" per me dal vivo non può rendere: troppe voci, troppe tracce, dovrebbero proprio rivoluzionarla e a quel punto non sarebbe più "Country House" :dry:
Mi piacerebbe sentire semmai "battery in your leg", e molti ripescaggi dai primi 3 album

Gli show in Colchester spero li annuncino, perche' sta a 20 minuti da casa mia.

Graham Coxon:

"We'll play for about two hours and do all the old favourites like 'Country House' and 'Parklife'
"I specifically told the band that we should play 'Think Tank'. I was very keen on that"
suoneranno anche "Battery in Your Leg" e "Out of Time" minimo quindi

Coxon sul momento della prima riunione:

"First of all, when I went into the room and I saw all my guitars and my old amplifier sitting there next to Dave's [Rowntree] drums again, and then Alex's [James] amplifier, it was like, 'Wow!'

"And then we were getting our instruments on and making a noise and we decided to play an old song, our first single, 'She's So High'. I think it was a passable rendition! It wasn't perfect!"

in più parla ancora di "Country House", dice che certe canzoni ormai sono dominio del pubblico e non è facile cambiarle, anche se sarebbe uno dei pochi modi per farla rinascere. Una canzone che loro considerano controversa, et per la storia del singolo che ha battagliato con quello degli oasis ("roll with it"), et per il video che secondo lui non ha fatto del bene alla canzone che liricamente era molto intelligente.

Sempre Coxon, per ora parla solo lui, ha praticamente detto che verosimilmente ci sarà anche un album dopo il tour. E ha detto che non è orgoglioso di aver battuto gli oasis nella vicenda dei singoli country house vs. roll with it
