Blur "Miss America" (American version)

Artist: Blur
Album: "The Adventure Club Sessions" compilation
1993 The Adventure Club
This one was recorded in US, very rare record (being out-of-print ant all)
Damon's introduction comes from the previous track, which flows seamlessly into this one. I took a few minutes to edit the two pieces together, and... viola!
www.megaupload....
^ ripped with iTunes 10.5.1, edited with Audacity 1.3.13 (beta).

Dare I say better than the album version? This is beautiful

[@mmtz3051]

This song is beautiful!!! Miss *America*

[@1blurnerd1]

oh my goodness this is a superb recording. they never do this live! they need to!

[@Honeythieef]

Damons voice is so cute hhhh

[@jacquelinebarbosa4312]

glad 2 see this was recorded in my city

[@pkitty2219]

Just beautiful-

[@marokokisetter]

this is fantastic.. it captures the essence of this song. i've found this song very eerie and beautiful. I need to find a file of this version! :D

[@matteojt1989]

definitivamente una hermosa cancion!!

[@Thevintagecompactshop]

beautiful , i love this so very much

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

@yasminx16 The album version has a blues/jazz bar feel to it, and this is more like a song you would sing around the fire. Neither is inferior.

[@tinygardens]

so lovely

[@destro513]

Thanks! Can't wait to hear them!

[@destro513]

I've never really got into Blur. I tripped and fell on this looking for the miss America song. I love this. When I was a kid I had this Syd Barrett box set I'd play over and over and this is amazing. Anyone wanna recommend some other Blur tunes that are as epic as this..

[@saddestcypress]

on the offchance you're still interested.. caravan from think tank is one of their best imo

[@paulsmartialarts]

The b-side Peach is very Syd Barrett-esque too

[@el_edu_xd]

For all the people that wants the chords this song is in DADGAD tune

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

+JEduardo2613 You forgot the other parts, and the chorus.

Mmm, Graham plays it EADGAD.

[@el_edu_xd]

@@stephenfox5133 yeah i saw him in the channel produce like a pro

[@stephenfox5133]

@@el_edu_xd Yes, that's where I saw it too. Good video. Great to see guitarists play their own compositions, rather than others interpretations of how it was done..

[@nataelbabineau885]

Best group of the 90's and the last 20 years by miles(notable exception Pixie's Trompe le Monde)!

[@idaich]

pixies's trompe le monde is not a band dude

[@destro513]

Thanks a ton.. Great song.. Le me get another one please!

[@ncmaru]

@NotOrdinaryInGames I wish I had technical expertise. TY! The last Blur show I saw was @ Liberty Lunch in Austin, TX before she closed. Sad day. I missed Graham at SXSW last year, though. Miss America is a fave of mine.

Nice!

[@destro513]

Thanks dood~!

[@DonetskiLetsplayshik]

sounds pretty much like syd barrett's terrapin

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

+CapitanMine It sure does.

[@philnoble2218]

Both fantastic songs! Coxon being a big Barrett fan of course! Terrapin is one of my All time favourites.

[@TheeReturn]

Very Syd Barrett!!

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Buy the friggin' album already!!!

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Minutes, man, minutes.

[@JeramyTheGirl]

I love this song, but Im extremely jealous I can only get the album version and not this American version as I live in Britain. There's more sincerity in this one

[@ncmaru]

@NotOrdinaryInGames OMG, I had to fecking register to like your comment!

yes i do need it because otherwise i would be trying for hours

[@TheDorkfreak]

LOVE THIS, HEY JELLY BEAN :D

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

@destro513 Try all the b-sides. ALL of them.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

@Malowney3 Does that matter? Graham is not doing solos or anything, he's just accompanying.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

@MrToastedfrog >implying there is something wrong with the traditional tuning

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

@ncmaru The reason I registered was to rate stuff. I ended up uploading awesome stuff myself :P

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!

does somebody have the tab from the original song in the album?

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Ever heard of a place called "amazon.com"?

[@steveforest8385]

Sounds like Syd Barrett - Terrapin.

[@bazzle253]

This isn't on the Spotify

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Today you learned an important lesson: NOT everything is available on streaming. And not everything ever will.

[@SuperFitzyBoi]

Resigned.

[@ztrike4402]

Hello! Do you still have the files of the Adventure Club sessions? I'd love to download them but the link in the description doesn't work.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Well, it will never work again. I don't have a huge problem sharing, but what about buying the CD? Just check Discogs, it's not expensive.

[@ztrike4402]

@@NotOrdinaryInGames I would buy it (along with several other Blur goodies) but I'm underage and, because of my parents, don't have any control over what I do with my money. I appreciate the fast response.

[@MrTforTroll]

Anything off the self titled album

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

@deanokenobi You won't get anything from me. My guitar is broken and I don't have time anyway.

[@SuperFitzyBoi]

Why not try 'He Thought Of Cars' and 'Strange News From Another Star' :)

[@SoundsOuttaTammoLand]

Most of their songs but most of all 'Villa Rosie' from 'Modern life is rubbish' album

[@wot_wot]

Graham sings in the original?

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Well, this is not the "original", and I don't think we will ever hear a demo. Graham's voice is specific, and this is definitely not Graham.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

I bet it's Gibson.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Buy that one yourself.

[@eddcordero4327]

Jellybean or Jemima.... Which is best? 🤔

[@badhead]

@destro513 Sing

[@davidpar2]

I think it’s only fitting for a version of “Miss America” to be performed in America

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

You don't need a tab - use your ears.
