So, it's a 'reunion' at this point, right?

the line-up: Nick Banks, Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, Russell Senior, Mark Webber

I never saw them first time around but I would see them if they came to my town. I hope this reunion lasts.

Richard Hawley wasn't a member until after "Hardcore", was he?

Metro this morning said they haven't played for 15 years. Which is odd, cos I could've sworn I saw them a couple of times around 99-01

This line-up has not played for 15 years.

Who else left apart from Russell Senior, who isn't even listed as being in the reformed band in Metro?

Dunno but they're wrong, he is in this reunion.

first gig for 9 years tonight in Toulouse apparently. funny place for a comeback. chatter about the gig, setlist etc here:http://baritalia.activeboard.com/t43039550/spoiler-2505-setlist-in-le-bikini-toulouse/

That setlist is surprisingly narrow in it's scope. What, 95% His'n'Hers and Different Class?
― everything, Thursday, 26 May 2011 14:58 (twelve years ago) link
So like.. 100% what people want to hear? I kid, I kid. I can't believe Manon didn't make it either.

Me too. I made a joke last night that we should go to Europe and see Pulp for our honeymoond and fiance was like... yeah, no. Then told me *maybe* if Arcade Fire were also there, because he's always trying to get me to turn around on them. Sadly they are together in Ireland a week before his vacation. And he probably wasn't serious anyway. Le sigh!

(I will send them an A4-size version of this placard to them beforehand, so they can rehearse it first, as it'll be shit otherwise).

It's never coming back to the setlist. Face it. It's gone.

I don't know, I think it's pretty awesome that they played fucking Countdown in their comeback set.
Still, I'll be the one in the crowd at Wireless chanting "Tun-NEL! Tun-NEL!"

All these big festivals are fine but now it’s time to take things indoors ... We’re very excited to announce a show of our own at London’s O2 Brixton Academy on Wednesday 31 August 2011.
― James Mitchell, Monday, 4 July 2011 10:42 (twelve years ago) link
There'll be three or four more of them announced when Brixton sells out in 30 seconds.
― Matt DC, Monday, 4 July 2011 11:27 (twelve years ago) link
weird that yesterday didn't sell out at all though.
― Upt0eleven, Monday, 4 July 2011 11:27 (twelve years ago) link
Text received last night:
"Watchinbg Pulp at Wireless. It's 'Different Class' plus other bits :( "
I concur... 'Different Class' put me off them completely after adoring 'His 'n' Hers'..which I still adore. I barely checked 'This Is Hardcore' but I did buy 'We Love Life' which I'm kind of meh about (and not on my own, I guess).
Not tempted by the reformation shows..and if they're doing mostly DC...I'd not be arsed at festivals either.
XP
Not that weird when you consider how damn expensive it was.
― One Big Craigo, Full Of Bad Boingos (Craigo Boingo), Monday, 4 July 2011 11:33 (twelve years ago) link
went yesterday, & they sounded *great* but yes - too expensive, too much different class & too many drunken festival packs just out for a push and shout in a park.
― you don't exist in the database (woof), Monday, 4 July 2011 11:39 (twelve years ago) link
Hmm. I didn't think the crowd was as bad as for Blur two years ago. Not quite so aggressively lary at least.
― Pheeel, Monday, 4 July 2011 11:55 (twelve years ago) link
Where I was they weren't aggressive but fucking annoying. Singing along where appropriate is one thing, but accompanying every line (including instrumental parts) with high pitched yapping is quite another. Much more civilised crowd when I saw them in Barcelona.
Personally think 55 quid for a day ticket to a festival isn't too unreasonable.
― Upt0eleven, Monday, 4 July 2011 12:06 (twelve years ago) link
Maybe. Day festivals tend to pitch lower than that I think don't they? Isn't Field Day about £30?
I smirked at a friend's comments yesterday:
Today Pulp are playing Hyde Park, in association with Barclaycard. £55.25 not including booking fee for the common people
Or £155.00 for the less common people. For this you get a private entrance away from the scum, a chill-out area and hot & cold BBQ platters
If you're not common at all, VIP tickets are £235.00. For this you also get a private bar and a special grandstand viewing area.
And from there, you can sing along: "you will never understand how it feels to live your lives with no meaning or control..."
― One Big Craigo, Full Of Bad Boingos (Craigo Boingo), Monday, 4 July 2011 12:40 (twelve years ago) link
They get to sing along with the common people...
― Mark G, Monday, 4 July 2011 12:44 (twelve years ago) link
Heh, they can do role playing between the areas. Awesome.
― One Big Craigo, Full Of Bad Boingos (Craigo Boingo), Monday, 4 July 2011 12:45 (twelve years ago) link
That "VIP" enclosure towered over the area for disabled people, which I thought was a lovely touch.
― Neil S, Monday, 4 July 2011 12:45 (twelve years ago) link
Russell's not coming to Australia, so be interesting to see if they play more Hardcore/Love tracks here.
They're also doing their only other two non-festival shows apart from the warm-up, so hoping very hard that they do the amount of pre-DC stuff from that setlist...
― undeɹrated ærosm?th b∞tlegs I have pwned (sic), Monday, 4 July 2011 12:48 (twelve years ago) link
Field Day may be cheaper but it doesn't have headliners of the same level and is by all accounts the worst organised festival in Britain.
Heavily-skewed towards Different Class (and to a lesser extent His N Hers) but if you're going to play a limited number of comeback shows then why not draw heavily from the records people love the most?
Actually the epic This Is Hardcore -> Sunrise was one of the best bits about last night but I can't claim that I was holding out for much more from the last couple of albums.
Crowd were fine from where I was standing.
