Yes I love lists and tallies..

Anyway, how many of Blur's songs have never been performed live? Album songs, not b-sides..

The only ones I know are Villa Rosie and Clover over Dover, but there are probably a few more?

See the list at the end of my book.

Caramel is one of them, unfortunatley. Would sound amazing life i recon.
Also, any unreleased tracks, and "Fool's Day" - i know them at least.

Jets was performed live. Met Dave at an Ailerons gig back in 2006 and I asked him about it. He said they performed it just the once.

Really? So the song has a whole documentary named after it, but has never been played live? Blur... *shakes head* :wink:

It's very ironic isnt it

Like No Distance Left to Run DVD (2010), Not performed live on the release (The Hyde Park DVD, at least)

Supposedly it was played only on the early spring 1993 tour. I'm currently awaiting a few tapes to see if this is the case...

It's in print and also on Kindle. I may make a PDF copy available once my new book comes out later in the year...thinking about it.

You should publish it on the iBook store for iPad users. Really easy to do.

really ? it's the same with graham when he said that they played caramel only once

Caramel and Jets...I've not only never heard anyone claim to have them on tape, I've never seen them HINTED at being played live. Star Shaped, while I'm a bit skeptical, there is at least a shred of evidence it night have been played live a handful of times.

And D4P, I'm only considering concert settings, not studio sessions
