    In March 1999, when Blur performed live at Depot Studios, the band was riding high on the success of their album "13," which had been released the previous year. This album marked a critical juncture in their career, showcasing a more experimental and introspective sound compared to their earlier Britpop style. Notably, "13" included themes of heartbreak and existentialism, reflecting the personal experiences of lead singer Damon Albarn. The live recording captures the essence of this transformative period, featuring tracks like "Tender," which became a poignant anthem of vulnerability and longing. This performance is part of the "Blur 21" box set, highlighting the band's evolution and significance in the rock landscape of the late '90s. Interestingly, during this time, Blur was also navigating internal changes within the band, and the emotional weight of "13" resonated strongly during their live performances, as evidenced in this recording.
