Blur fans attending Thursday’s Mexico City concert might have Reddit user Loreal217 to thank for one of songs performed that night.

The band played “Country Sad Ballad Man,” a track off its 1997 self-titled album, for the first time in 15 years. The last time was during the 2000 Meltdown Festival in London.

That performance came hours after Loreal217 made the request during an Ask Me Anything by guitarist Graham Coxon. At the time, the chances that Blur would pull the tune out to play live seemed slim:

But on the rundown of songs that were performed at the concert posted to the site Setlist.fm, “Country Sad Ballad Man” made the cut. In fact, a note at the bottom of the set list points out that “Country Sad …” was even played during the song check.

On Friday, a bootleg recording of the song popped up on YouTube. Before launching into the tune, lead singer Damon Albarn confirmed that the band performed the song during sound check and mistakenly told the audience that “I don’t think we’ve played this song in 18 years.” He didn’t confirm, however, if the AMA request was the reason the song was chosen to be part of the concert’s set list.

Still, it goes to show that it never hurts to ask.
