At Glastonbury in 1994, Blur delivered “There’s No Other Way” to a crowd already swept up in the wave of Britpop. Originally released in 1991 from their debut album Leisure, the track’s hypnotic groove and wah-wah guitars gave the band their first major hit, peaking at number eight on the UK Singles Chart.
