    A 3LP set captures Sunday’s entire show, and there’s a shorter ‘best of both nights’ version – which surprisingly, but perhaps thankfully, skips “Country House” – but there’s no questioning the band’s enduring energy and charismatic chemistry, whether emphasising “Under The Westway”’s Bowie fixations or “The Narcissist”’s unforgettable hooks.

    What follows is a remarkably moving distillation of Blur’s 33 years as pop stars. [Sep 2024, p.84]

    For those who weren’t able to attend or for those who wanted a cheeky throwback to watching the gig that night, ‘blur Live at Wembley Stadium’ is an exhilarating celebration of the band’s barnstorming gig on the Sunday night.

    Blur certainly sounds older on Live at Wembley Stadium than they did on their previous live albums, yet those scars lend poignance to these familiar songs. The erosion in Albarn’s voice diminishes his impishness, adding a sense of empathy to his cultural observations.
