  In June 1998, when Blur performed "Song 2" at the Glastonbury Festival, the band was at a pivotal moment in their career. They had recently released their fifth studio album, "The Great Escape," in September 1995, which saw commercial success but received mixed reviews. The release of "Song 2" in 1997, part of the album "Blur," marked a shift towards a more alternative rock sound, distancing them from the Britpop movement with which they had previously been associated. This performance at Glastonbury was significant as it showcased Blur at the height of their popularity, capturing a moment of energetic connection with their audience. The band's lively rendition of "Song 2," filled with its iconic "woo-hoo" refrain, became emblematic of the era and continues to be celebrated, particularly for its raw energy and enthusiasm, further solidifying Blur's status in the music scene.
