Blur: Live at Wembley Stadium review: A Triumphant comeback, writes ADRIAN THRILLS
A candid documentary, Blur: To The End, is in cinemas now, with a two-hour concert film following in September. There's also a new live album, out today
Highlights here include the Britpop anthems Parklife — sung by guest Phil Daniels — and Girls & Boys, Damon's awestruck account of the sexual shenanigans he witnessed on a Brits-abroad holiday on the Med. Modern Life Is Rubbish, an album released in 1993, provided the blueprint for Britpop, but its quirky songs weren't designed for packed stadiums, and they fall flat here: Popscene sounds ragged; the obscure Villa Rosie leads to a mid-set lull. From the mirror balls above the stage to the sequins and glitter of those trying to pull off John Travolta dance moves in the aisles, the Royal Albert Hall was hit by a bad case of Saturday Night Fever last weekend as the Proms paid homage to the disco sounds of the 1970s and 1980s.
