The band's equipment has been sent elsewhere in the world on the wrong flight. That (plus a few too many drinks!) has put Jarvis in a bit of a grumpy mood! After 'Common People' he tips all the monitors off the stage and buggers off! The bootleg is gripping stuff with many a handbag raising moment!

If you watch the rest of the band it's pretty clear that they're all having a bit of a hard time onstage. Probably one of those typical festival situations where no one can hear what they're doing and you've no idea whether it's all falling apart around you. I'm sure that's only part of the story though. God knows what must have gone on backstage to create such a wired atmosphere.

I agree the bootleg is a gripping listen - it's like the adverse situation forced them to really go for it.

Incidentally, Candida looks rather nice here doesn't she?

I had heard that it was Jarvis' birthday as well, can anyone confirm that?

I'd love to see the whole set.  The intro to the opener, The Fear, is priceless, "Yes, we are Pulp, yes, you are not safe yet. You are going to die in pain.  It's going to be very horrible and very painful."  or something like that.

There is another bootleg out there where Jarvis is in a bit off a mood again and it's his birthday... it's from 1998 again. i can't remember anymore detail off the top of my head.
I like it on this gig where at the end of 'Do You Remember...' he goes, " ooo hoo hoo.. You wanna go home... TOO FUCKING RIGHT!"

I'll attempt to upload the tracks to BI account when I have some spare time for those who'd like to hear it.

It is from Loreley... I haven't made a good job of writing about 2 things at once there!

I'm curious about this other bootleg now. I shall launch my investigation tomorrow!
