Something from Relaxed Muscle would be nice, but I guess that isn't gonna happen. I don't know what my dream setlist will be. Jarvis is entertaining enough, doesn't matter which song he plays.

Oh, & I'm getting quite worried now as the post is shit 'round here: HAS ANYONE HAD THEIR TROXY TICKETS DELIVERED YET? Please let me know!

Of course it is! I'd love to hear Jarvis do Paranoid (Black Sabbath) again, even though it's completely out of the question he would do the same cover twice. It blew me away and was so unexpected. Also, in the unlikey event that he choses to do a random Pulp song then Little Girl With Blue Eyes please. And anything else he wants to, even Angela.

Actually, a few of those covers from the first solo tour showed up in multiple shows, "Paranoid" among them.

I wonder whether Jarvis will continue to play covers at the end of his set?  I suppose he has done it up to now because he has not had quite enough of his own matieral to play. With another album's worth of songs that should no longer be a problem.

By the way, I have put together a fairly complete list of covers here: http://www.pulpwiki.net/Jarvis/CoverVersions. Paranoid has been played at least 6 times.

(I think I will wait until I have heard all the new songs before thinking of my dream setlist.)

Partly hard

Fuss Free did you delete your post about how Jarvis was much better with Pulp? Obviously impressed with the leaked songs!

For what it's worth, Fuss Free, I actually appreciated, and to a large degree agreed with, that post of yours.

Regardless of what each of us thinks about Jarvis' solo albums, I like to think that we can all agree that Pulp were special, that they did some things you can't imagine any other band pulling off. ("Street Lites" is an excellent example.) I mean, why else would we be on this board, anyway?

Yeah, it was a great point well-made. Bring it back . A lot more interesting than the shite I post (444 posts and counting!).

I wouldn't like to tell you what my post count is on another band forum I use, but it makes 444 look like nothing!

Nor me...so you aren't alone, just to reassure you!

Thanks, guess they just haven't sent 'em out yet! :)

No Pulp please. Just sounds like cover versions without the original band.

I dunno...that Songbook programme which was the first time we saw him play Pulp on his own, though great to see also made me a bit uneasy. Probably due to his lack of practice but between straining for some of the high notes and mixing up lyrics, I just thought that Pulp is better left alone unless he comes back with the whole band.

The acoustic thing last week did look better, with a lead guitarist alongside him but I was still unconvinced. I know he didn't have the backing of a band but I would think it a bit disrespectful to the rest of Pulp if he got his new group to play one of their songs.Maybe if it's something obscure, an early Pulp song, like Fuss Free mentioned it would work. I just don't like seeing inferior versions of classic Pulp songs, which are what Jarvis' solo renditions have been in my opinion.

Hmm, Morrissey's recent rendition of This Charming Man in the style of Lust For Life was a bit of a worry.

BTW, "Pilchard" reminds me a little of "Styloroc," a song which I think would, sans monologue, made a good opening song for Pulp, with Jarvis entering near the end.

I think Jarvis & the band should cover some Pulp - & really rock it up!

Jarvis should never play anything but the most obscure Pulp song live. I doubt they would anyway, I mean even in Pulp they hardly played any old tracks after Russel left, besides the ones they had to. Jarvis has always seemed to concentrate on the recent stuff rather than wallowing is nostalgia anyway.

Pulp were Pulp, they were before my time and I've accepted that. They could reform, they could play His'n'Hers in it's entirety, whatever, it's never going to be the same as it was in 1994 (and this goes for any era of Pulp). Pulp were completely defined by their various different eras anyway, the only great stretch on continuity was His'n'Hers to Different Class. I would only ever be happy about Pulp reforming if it was in order to record a new album.
