Blur performed two sessions for the BBC at Maida Vale studios in London on July 31st. BBC Radio 6 hosted a three hour Blur special featuring the band's music and interview clips, and concluded with a six-song live performance, including the first ever performance of the 13 track, "Caramel." After the Radio 6 special, Blur performed an hour-long concert for BBC Radio 2 featuring Blur a set of classics and a rare performance of their song "Young & Lovely" (see the full set list for the concert below.)
Fans who missed the Blur BBC specials can enjoy some video and audio from the show. The BBC has uploaded video highlights (including the performance of "Caramel") however the videos are geo-blocked, so only viewers in the U.K. can access the clips. The audio archives are NOT geo-blocked and are available to enjoy on the BBC website through August 7th. The BBC Radio 6 archive is here, and the BBC Radio 2 concert is here. FYI, the Radio 6 performance is near the end of the three hour show archive, and fans can forward to the final hour to hear the live set.
Update: the Maida Vale Radio 6 session has been posted on You Tube and you can watch it below. You might want to watch it now in case it gets pulled:
