Blur - Never performed live

[niallquinn]

First proper post on here, last time I posted was on the old Blur Forums about Sunnyside Farm, so hello everyone.

I know there's a site, not sure if it's allowed to mention, but I'm sure you know it. Anyway, there's all of the Blur albums, but with each track substitued by a live version.

Which got me thinking, I'm sure there's loads of more recent tracks, but which ones have they never played live?

Resigned and My Ark spring to mind - unless you know better, and they have played them!!

Cheers.

Dave also confirmed to me that Jets was played live.

Have they ever played Starshaped? I don't recall ever hearing them do it?

Isn’t there some mythical one and only performance of Starshaped that only MrMagpie has the audio of? Or something like that? That’s my #1 request to be played live. This would be the year to do it!

There is at least this acoustic version from an US radio broadcast and some hints on setlists that they played it in 1993:

I was at that gig and do not recall Jets being played.

That said, it was 20 years ago, so could be my memory…

And it is a damn shame and missed opportunity to not have played these at the Hammersmith gig…
