However I’m fairly sure The Man Who Left Himself was performed by Damon and Graham at the Royal Albert Hall?

Some gems on that list that I reckon they could do a good job with in 2023:
- My Ark
- Dancehall
- All We Want
- Morricone

Obviously a good number they’ll never touch again….

I had completely forgotten they had performed it live. And I was there! :lol:

Wouldn't it be magical if we got that full band version of Far Out at some point...

Dan Abnormal never played live? What about Top Man? I have all of the other TGE songs live except for Ernold Same.

Top Man was played at the same BBC session that was partially released on The Universal II, and also I think the rooftop of HMV as seen in B-Roads. Think they resurrected it in 2003 but wasn’t there.

I saw Ernold Same played in 2000 at the Meltdown gig with Ken Livingstone. There’s a promo CD of that gig somewhere.

The whole gig is on Blur Archive Project.

I absolutely love Money Makes Me Crazy even if I always felt like it stole the melody from that godawful Mavericks song.

Thank you SO much for this. I never saw this before. I came to this thread after reading the title with the intention of mentioning The man who left himself because, just imagine what Graham could do with that outro when playing it live, and there it f*cking is, even more brilliant than I imagined it would be. It actually brought a tear to my eye.

Oh no - you've just ruined 'Money...' for me.
Can't stand that Mavericks song!

I’m surprised All We Want has never been played live. Great song, I think it’d be an excellent live track.
