Out of time

6th July 2009 by Violette

Last weeks have been an endless musical rendezvous for fans all over Europe with massive festivals such as Glastonbury, Solidays in Paris, Pinkpop in the Netherlands and many others…

However last week the place to be was London, to be more precise Hyde Park for the much awaited Blur reunion. On Thursday I was in the middle of the crowd of 55,000 fans who came to the concert, some of our Twitter followers standing a few feet away from me (to name a few @mr_omneo @anagasston and @neilperkin…).

The concert was fantastic, the band (especially Albarn and Coxon) leading the crowd in a gigantic sing-along. Blur songs are timeless classics and that’s what made Thursday concert (and I’m sure Friday as well) so special. Each of the songs were fans favourite, I just had to look around me to witness the joy and emotion.

The best moment however for me was when the crowd started singing Tender before the first encore. Nothing special, the band wasn’t even on stage but there is something very powerful about 55,000 fans singing a capella in the middle of a summer evening to call back on stage ‘their’ band.
