Blur played Madison Square Garden last night (October 23rd) as part of their whistle-stop visit to the States.

Supported by Courtney Barnett, the band dipped in to this year’s comeback album ‘The Magic Whip‘ on plenty of occasions, but also aired some of their fondly remembered 90s hits such as ‘Parklife‘, ‘End Of a Century‘ and ‘Coffee & TV‘.
