Damon Albarn (vocals, Blur) : The sun went down during This Is A Low and I'll never ever forget that. If the audience are in the right frame of mind that song's beautiful to do.

Graham Coxon (guitarist, Blur) : We had a regime set up by that time. For an hour before the show you can't have a beer.
