Damon falling over cuz he's high out of his mind and lying on the stage singing and show is not censored or cut away from him instead they put another spotlight on him... lol... I miss the 90's
Damon had cut his foot very badly, hence the cane - and the painkillers...and the offbeat performance. He's so staggeringly beautiful here that it hardly matters, though...
@@TheStorehouseOfMemories so why does he have both shoes on and why does he have a walking stick not a crutch and why is a very heavy opiate an appropriate medical response to a cut on the foot?
@@TheStorehouseOfMemories the reality is not naming what it was but pointing out the facts it was a heavy opiate and it was smoked. That's why the peak didn't hit him immediately with the high. Not naming it but he smoked it that's why he was high in the beginning and thats why later he had a delayed peak.
God, this song makes me feel so high... works on Damon too, he looks really transported in this perfomance. Kids, don't do drugs. Listen to The Universal. Same result.
@@docsavage8640 yep, exactly. I really admire him as a person, because after all these years he's stayed true to himself and his beliefs. You can see how dedicated he is to what he does and how he isn't afraid to speak his mind and bring awareness on issues that he finds important. He used to have a very competitive kind of drive, almost antagonistic, but I think that over the years he's learned to use it in a more positive and involving way. That crazy childlike behaviour is still there though :D
I'm looking at some of the comments below. I never realized Damon played around with heroin. I am a recovering opioid addict, and I can definitely say from personal experience he looks like he is riding on a very blissful cloud. Lmao.
I remember an interview of Ewan McGregor describing the drug addicts he observed for his portrayal of Mark Renton. He talked about how they leaned back very much like Damon does here.
Yes because he was high on a very heavy opiate this incredible unlikely to be prescribed by a Dr for injury. God this blows me. How many times he been caught going on the nod in public and no one thinks of the possibility he's a herion user. I've been around opiates for a long time even in their early days it was obvious. It was so obvious in front of the public for so long and no one ever figured it. It blows me away. I'm not even an addict but due to recreational use I've gain the bad habit of scratching my nose the same way a herion addict does and don't listen to my story of recreational use. I've never ever met another person who managed to maintain recreational. I'm a complete oddity.
I remember the first I watched this video, I decide to get t-shirts from planet Hollywood and Hard Rock Cafe beside an NBA game spurs vs mavericks in San Antonio Tx! Tim Duncan was a rookie, when i get back to the hotel with my parents I turned the tv on and PUUUM! Another great song from Blur, definitely this story changed my music life! VIVA BLUR, I was 13 years old now I'm 32!!!
That must have been such an amazing experience, high out of his mind staring at the spotlights while listening to a heavenly song while his band plays in front of thousands of people.
flashback! i remember watching this at my cousins' house when i was a kid, and my mom and aunt being very disapproving of damon falling down backwards on stage. something about it being dangerous rock and roll behaviour. lol
It must be fucking amazing to have the mental health to be able to go on stage in front of an audience off your face on drugs. I couldn't even sit in silence next to my friends, near the end of the drug days, without having a fucking psychotic break down of delusion and paranoia. I do miss those days though.
Damon was definitely high on heroin when Blur performed The Universal at the 1995 EMA's. It was the second-best heroin-related performance. The first is Beetlebum.
Now I recall watching this as an 8 year old and I thought he was acting at the end, like theatrical display overwhelmed by the music. Oh nostalgia for my 90's mtv childhood and innocence
Una delle migliori performance live di questa canzone stupenda :) ma poi qualcuno ha aiutato damon a rialzarsi?? xD qui si vede proprio che faceva uso di stupefacenti :-/
This is the next century Where the universal's free You can find it anywhere Yes, the future has been sold Every night we're gone And to karaoke songs How we like to sing a long Although the words are wrong It really, really, really could happen Yes, it really, really, really could happen When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go No one here is alone, satellites in every home Yes the universal's here, here for everyone Every paper that you read Says tomorrow is your lucky day Well, here's your lucky day It really, really, really could happen Yes, it really, really, really could happen When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go Well, it really, really, really could happen Yes, it really, really, really could happen When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go Just let them go
esta presentacion es mi favorita tambien y aun la recuerdo a pesar de los años. Siempre he tenido la curiosidad si el estaba esa noche borracho o drogado, lo digo por la caida del final.
late night hobbies: watching every live blur song there is and then crying because im in love with damon
same
so true
spicy boy - my life in a comment
OMG IT SO TRUE I AM CRYING
same here
Damon falling over cuz he's high out of his mind and lying on the stage singing and show is not censored or cut away from him instead they put another spotlight on him... lol... I miss the 90's
Part of why teenage me fell so hard for him lmao
I'm pretty sure it's a Clockwork Orange reference
Did he drift off?😴
Wait so you're telling me he could've died?
@@CPunicorn did I just see one of your comments on PJ Harvey The Letter live Glastonbury? Commenting on Josh Klinghoffer? Hahahaha random.
He's So High
Let me guess. You want to crawl all over him..
Geoffrey Gentry who wouldn’t
"I want to crawl all over himmm..."
LMAO
She so high
1:22 My reaction to this song
Shutup lol same
Nailed it :')
Just vibing
My honest reaction 3:00
Only Damon can do that and look absolutely fucking angelic
Damon had cut his foot very badly, hence the cane - and the painkillers...and the offbeat performance. He's so staggeringly beautiful here that it hardly matters, though...
Pat Jackson awwwww :(
I thought the cane was a cool little nod to A clockwork Orange but there you go haha
How do you know
shaztheunicorn CUTIE page 86 of ‘Blur: the Whole Story’ by Martin Roach
@@wingsofmagic055 ANOTHER nod, you mean
this song make me feel alive, this is one of the best songs of all the time
yes i agree
YESSSIRRRR
I could REALLY REALLY REALLY marry Damon
Kammamuris this REALLY REALLY REALLY could happen
I totally see Damon as a hubby, and a 25 yo Liam Gallagher as a secret side chick.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to marry him
same
@@misstembo2000 omg dream life
He may be drugged as heck but he still sings amazing???!!! (Everyone give him a round of applause)
Whe MTV was cool......
Damon was high, that is why he had that stick. HE IS AMAZING, even when he is high he can do magic.
Agustina Lopsta mhm
Nope, had a foot injury

I would like to think that "this is the next century" and Mr. Albarn is very old?
Blur in their prime were possibly the best band around. Very creative and such variety.
damon's face is a masterpiece from his mom.
God, this song makes me feel so high... works on Damon too, he looks really transported in this perfomance.
Kids, don't do drugs. Listen to The Universal. Same result.
ablurida hi. sure. Please say not to drugs. Yes music yes live.
ablurida doing them both at the same time works too
pretty sure Damon itself created this by experiencing both things.
i hope i can have a best friend like graham
Haidar Aidid :)
It turns out I'm lucky. I have such a friend. I feel happy.
i love how damons so high but his singing is still so angelic
1:23 me when I see Damon sing
I think it applies to most of us :')
What's with this man, really?
What does make him so lovable? Appearance? Talent? Both?
I'm simply obsessed with Damon.. huhu..
Anna he seemed very sincere
Almost as a child
Plus the talent he had and so on:)
Unusual combination of drive, talent, and looks
I don't know. I just want to get over this one year obsession so bad, but I really can't...goddammit he's so amazing
@@docsavage8640 yep, exactly. I really admire him as a person, because after all these years he's stayed true to himself and his beliefs.

Parasocial relationships, they are like crack

That's what Beetlebum's about.
Everyone's kinda talking about Damon, but can we please appreciate Alex's Hair?
His Hitler hair do 😅
here for everyooooooooooooooooone
abel gnecco ahahahahaha
This song is beyond the beyond. What a outstanding band were Blur, and still are.
Other people wouldn't like to hear me If i said that these are the best 20 years of my life

damon's high as a kite.
Glitch at 1:49
arturleaorf Damon screaming broke all the electronics
That´s why the 90´s rocked!!
1:21 looks like he's high xd.
Lara Escobar Hernández Looks like me every time I listen to this amazing song.

I remember seeing this live and being blown away. Nothing quite like this.
when he falls with the instrumental in the background it manages to be so sad and beautiful at the same time.
what a song what a band i love blur so fuckin much
My goal in life is it to find someone who can make me feel like they're music makes me feel.💕
That must have been such an amazing experience, high out of his mind staring at the spotlights while listening to a heavenly song while his band plays in front of thousands of people.
And he still sounds like a goddamn angel... I miss rock stars.
I was there in the 90`s. I saw them, I have an autograph and lots of Fotos.... It was great, believe me.
flashback! i remember watching this at my cousins' house when i was a kid, and my mom and aunt being very disapproving of damon falling down backwards on stage. something about it being dangerous rock and roll behaviour. lol
I mean he was high asf but we still love him hah). Dont do drugs,kids))

Damon was definitely high on heroin when Blur performed The Universal at the 1995 EMA's. It was the second-best heroin-related performance. The first is Beetlebum.
did he take heroin in everytime?
which performance of beetlebum are you talking about? Will watch it :)
No he was on painkillers that's why he has a cane too
Supposedly he messed up his foot pretty badly and took too many painkillers and got high on them
Heroin or painkillers regardless he was on a heavy opioid and if youve done any of them once u see hes frickin cruisin in orgasmic pleasure
Now I recall watching this as an 8 year old and I thought he was acting at the end, like theatrical display overwhelmed by the music. Oh nostalgia for my 90's mtv childhood and innocence
1:27 :;) what a beautiful smile!
What a performance! Iconic!!! Thanks Blur ;)
he says "really" to posh here. "Ruhlay"
Damon is the most beautiful person in the whole world, it's incredible omg
진짜 꿈같은 무대다... 데이먼은 취해있는데 무대는 빛나고 노래는 아름다워...
ㅠㅠㅠ 나 왜 저때 세상에 없었냐..^^
Its Pathetic that I have to go on UA-cam if I want to watch music on Music Television
that ruined my day,thinking how unlucky I am for being 1 year old at that time...godsend
Awesome perfomance, but man was Damon high af.
i can’t believe damon albarn is real
Мама я в раю...
another level
So they're leaving Damon on the floor right haha
perfect, i think we all feel the same as damon when we listen to this song.
THE WAY HE FELL AT THE END
He was on heroin i know i've been through heroin addiction and it's hell when you finally come off it, i would not recommend it.
AMAZING!!! Still remember the first time I watched it. It really shocked me. I love this song.
That cane didn’t help much did it?
No one:
Damon : Ight My Foot broke, I'm high...
LEZZ G000
Ok so why does he lie down on the floor tho?? You ok, bean??? 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊😊
I'm crying... They are too beautiful! I love these men and blur to the fullest extent that I can love!
I fancy the rockers off him in this one
Una delle migliori performance live di questa canzone stupenda :) ma poi qualcuno ha aiutato damon a rialzarsi?? xD qui si vede proprio che faceva uso di stupefacenti :-/
Damon...en heroina?
Back when MTV had good music on it.
He was COOKED
Sniff sniff....Awesome!
This is the next century
Where the universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future has been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing a long
Although the words are wrong
It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go
No one here is alone, satellites in every home
Yes the universal's here, here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow is your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day
It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go
Well, it really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go
Just let them go
puta que lo parió...que groso
This is when i fell in love with damon, 21 years ago
One of the best 10 song of the history of pop music perfect tune
Nothing tops this live version. Hats off forever
I love blur, I love Damon, I love this track!!!
Sin duda una de las mejores canciones de blur
The start of gorillaz. No matter what the band says no one wants to stand and play in the background to the lead singers produced song.
he seems a bit off his head on something
he was so highh HAHAHAHAH i love him 😢
A beautiful and tragic journey told by an I an artist named Damon Albarn.
i'm 14 years old and i'm crying bc i wasn't born in the 90's? YES
Youre 19, maybe 20 now. Im 18. Youre still older than me.
@@litete2512 im 19 now, i saw blur live 2 months ago for FREE, one of the best days of my life
Remember this mtv live presentation like it was yesterday, year “1995". Love this song a loooot
This exact performance is what made me listen to Blur in the first place :)
y cuando vi esta presentacion... encontre el amor de mi vida... mi Blur :3
Кинню
damon on the floor at the end is absolutely fantastic
Это я на уроке литературы :
Omg Damon died
*rest in peace damon* 🕊️🕊️🕊️
I think he might have seen something on the cielling.
Cameogirl14 it was me
Un genio donde los haya, bravo Damon
esta presentacion es mi favorita tambien y aun la recuerdo a pesar de los años.
Siempre he tenido la curiosidad si el estaba esa noche borracho o drogado, lo digo por la caida del final.
He was on heroin
one of my favourite
somebody please take me to the 90's again i promise to be good
What a wonderful song!
I recorded this on VHS back in the day just for Blur... I watched it so so many times...

Benditos 90's
