At London’s O2 arena yesterday (November 2) the band covered Blur’s classic song, from the band’s 1997 self-titled fifth album.

Elsewhere in the hit-filled show, the band performed ‘Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy’ with Awsten Knight of Waterparks. The band performed covers of Jimmy Eat World‘s ‘The Middle’, Billy Joel‘s ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’ and ELO‘s ‘Mr Blue Sky’.

The band also debuted the songs ‘So Much (for) Stardust’ and ‘The (Shipped) Gold Standard’ live for the first time. Check out footage from the gig and the set list below:
