There's stage talk about the members' children, and the once young and puckish band has clearly come to terms with its senior status without losing its sense of musical urgency. English actor Phil Daniels comes out for his part in "Parklife," while "Sing" (from Blur's debut album, Leisure) sends the group back to its beginnings. Blur also includes the recent single "Under the Westway," airs the obscure "Chemical World" b-side "Young and Lovely," and performs Think Tank's "Out of Time" with a low-key introspection that sounds remarkably subtle in contrast to the audience's spirited reaction. The crowd sings along with "Girls & Boys" with the sort of enthusiasm American audiences bring to a Bruce Springsteen show. Seven of the concert's songs hail from Parklife judging from audience reaction, it's a clear fan fave.

12, 2012-during the closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics- Parklive features the superstar Britpop group running through highlights from its entire career, with an emphasis on 1994's Parklife.


Several of us were appreciative to hear Phil Daniels in the song because we were big fans of the film Quadrophenia. Brian from Fullerton (the Paris Of Oc), CaAh, not all Yanks are completely clueless.I can definitely imagine a group like The Hollies, Dave Clark 5, or The Byrds singing this. Mo from Newark, NjOh this song has a very retro British sound to it.yeah.we're all the same about as much as you are.and FYI.my stepmom is british.but i would have still liked it even if she wouldnt have shown it to me. Seb from Atmore, AlIm american.and EXTREMELY big blur/gorillaz/good bad and queen fan.so dont say "AMERICANS".Dana from Buenos Aires, ArgentinaAnd please."America" is a continent.US, USA, EE UU, there are a lot of ways to call their country.Im from Argentina, and i agree with Rico.All the capital cities are almost the same around the world.And the life is very similar too, although we speak different languages.The best band ever.Mariana from Buenos Aires, Argentinathat's true, the song is much too british for a yankee to like it.American Who Likes "park Life" from Usa Unless Trump Wins The Election Great tune, still relevant!.
