They probably thought Song 2 was there overall sound, but Blurs sound has changed over the years.

it defininitely wasnt blurs fault

I saw them last year at Primavera Sound in Buenos Aires and the crowd went absolutely crazy, you could see Damon and the band were feeding off the crowds energy. Same thing if you watch their performances in other Latin American countries, where the crowds are famous for being very passionate. You can tell Damon is one of those performers who really seeks to connect with the audience, so if the audience is bad, the performance will probably be bad

Weird they would be at such a Dumb Festival anyway lol

You may be right, but imho NcutiGatwa is a great Doctor. He's fun to watch, I like his open and friendly personality. He was my first Doctor Who season (or series), before I had just watched three or four various episodes. Now, I began to watch from Eccleston on - thanks to the new series.

IMO a lack of character growth for the Doctor was probably not a bad idea for a first season composed of only 8 episodes. That's less than 2/3rds the length of Eccleston's first season and we already had a lot going on in this season. Season 14 establishes the baseline for the new Doctor and I expect they'll start testing and expanding that in S15. (Aside: Even Wikipedia noped out of the stupid 'it's a new season 1!' thing and just calls it S14).

Aww! Boo Hoo Damo!

0:12 I prefer to call it Volume 1

Gen z will never understand 😅

I don't know. Coachella is awful. But Blur has always had a chip on their shoulder about America. Suck it up and sort it out. No need to be such a prat.

Waterloo Sunset is such a classic nowadays which is fascinating.

Coachella was always garbage, lazy teenagers, the worst thing was seeing that they used what happened between Blur and Nardwaur as an excuse

The crowd was probably like play Feel Good Inc, and Damon was thinking wrong band you wankers

Damon is a pampered douche who's ego couldn't handle people not caring about blur in the US. Why would he think a show by 50 year old guys would excite the Coachella crowd.

American audiences are pretty boring.

I’ve just been calling it Series 14.

Coach Ella is the same as Glastonbury. It's been infiltrated by a bunch of wealthy left twats more interested in being seen in insta than the love of music.

Hardly disastrous

Glad everyone is seeing Damon Albarn for who he is. He revealed his true form in that Nardwuar interview where Blur assulted him. The ego stinks.

Great video, so many video essays always seem to lack focus and never come to any conclusions. While this was both engaging and informative while staying true to the depressing subject matter. Thank you I’ll keep watching this channel for sure.

1:40 That's not true really. Their first double A-side single "She's So High/I Know" was a commercial flop, even bigger than "Bang" ("She's So High" peaked at number 48 in the UK Singles Charts). Their first big hit was "There's No Other Way", their second single, which peaked at number 8 As for Coachella performance: I think that the band was a bit too full of themselves to think they would go to the United States and entertain an audience, that probably knows only one song by Blur - "Song 2" (which imo is a bit ironic, but that's a story for a whole another RUclips video). Seriously, their 1992 North American tour should have taught them better

The Coachella crowd suuuuuuucked

People don't go to Coachella for the music, they go to Coachella because it's seen as a status symbol.

Why would he think anyone would care? 😂😂😂

Of course they did.

I don't care about series 1 (2024) I wasn't particularly interested in said season and when RTD and Ncuti both told me I shouldn't watch it was easy to take their advice.

As a giant Gorillaz fan I honestly really don’t like how Damon sings on stage, don’t get me wrong his singing is beautiful when he’s in the studio, he DOES have the voice of an angel, so like why doesn’t he sound like that on stage?? Why does he just sound like someone’s dad poorly singing a song he’s barely ever heard? It’s so confusing to me 😭

Using Coachella as a measure of anything other than 'extent of vapidness'.... you're gonna have a bad time

Blur are forever will be underrated outside UK, if you’re a fan, don’t worry about those who aren’t, just enjoy Blur, im a fan for 33 years and already gave up since mid 90s to encourage others to give at least few listen to them before making conclusions haha

honestly im already tired of all the ‘fantasy’ themes and all the gods being introduced. it feels like that has been run dry by now and it’s only been the direction for a season and some specials. with season 2 looking like it’ll have more harbingers and even more gods it’s hard to look forward to it being likely similar to this season, but will still always watch regardless.

I mean, we have Taylor swift selling over here. Americans are into worthless artists and sub-standard music

Honestly mate Coachella was the worst crowd I’ve ever witnessed in my life - way before Blur played there.

God I love Damon Albarn.

Coachella, once a beacon for true music lovers, has devolved into a vapid spectacle for wannabe influencers and trend-obsessed hipsters. What was once a celebration of diverse and groundbreaking music is now a glorified backdrop for Instagram photoshoots and pretentious fashion parades. The festival's focus on superficial glamour has tragically overshadowed genuine talent. Take Blur, for instance-a band of legendary status and immense artistry. Instead of receiving the recognition they deserve, Blur gets lost in a sea of shallow posers more interested in their next hashtag than the music. Coachella attendees, more concerned with appearances than substance, are a stark reminder that the festival has strayed far from its roots, leaving true music fans yearning for the authentic experience that once was.

There is simply no comparison. Whatever talent Davies once had ( not to mention his judgement) has evaporated. Lets not sugar coat this, he was brought back to save the show, and reduced the viewing figures to sub Sylvester McCoy,,,,

New who is unbearable to watch the doc cries all the time so old who for me

Why bother playing at Coachella? That gathering is less about the music and more about social media.

Britain has been Americanised. Very much so. It's depressing

As someone who loves blur a big appeal of them is there music is about and for people who lived in a poor area in the UK and if you haven't really gone through that it doesn't really appeal to you like for example the song "London loves" from park life is about the chaotic and apathetic environment the uk can be to live in

I know know them as a 90s one hit wonder for song 2

Coachella is just another of those festivals that has been seen as a must do for many. Glastonbury is another.

The audience doesn't know the songs... Apart from Song 2.

Coachella... full of M0NGS, including Blur..!!

American crowds are dull at the best of times.
