Blur to release a DVD of their Olympics gig, here’s a clip

Brit-poppers Blur have been pretty coy with the press on their status vis a vis “are they a band still or not” lately, but one concrete bit of info has them releasing a potentially massive new DVD set this year. Parklive was recorded during the band’s 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony show at Hyde Park with New Order and The Specials and you can check out a clip of them running through “Under The Westway” below. Parklive will be released on December 3 in quite a few different varieties by Parlophone.
