Sorry...I completely missed that there was another thread on this. Haven't been paying attention properly. Luckily a friend of mine spotted it and sent me a link to buy a ticket...so yep, I'm going! Anyone ever seen a live gig at this venue, or know how often they do them? Not sure what to expect!

Yes - I'm going. V excited. I may even wear the Jarvis t-shirt, so if you spot it, come and say hi! I'll probably be somewhere near the front cos I'm the kind of loser that gets to gigs really early just for this purpose.

Thomas Truax. A bit too avant-garde for my tastes, but I put up a video of his jam with Jarvis anyway:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh2FZzH2U9U

He (TT) also did a couple of songs on his own.  Oh and there was a band from Southend (not The Horrors, thankfully) who came on right at the end, but I forget who they were now.  They seemed a little out-of-place, I thought - too poppy. Then Jarvis finished with "Further Complications".

Yeah, directions-wise Liverpool St is probably easiest.  Just head left along bishopsgate and then take the left turn at Great Eastern St and you'll walk straight past one of the entrances.  (Don't make the mistake I did of trying to go down Holywell Lane instead cos it'scompletely blocked to both pedestrians and traffic due to road works...)

Thanks for the info. My train gets in at Liverpool Street, so that means I don't even have to bother with the tube - result!

As I was there on my lonesome, I thought I would occupy myself by tweeting some photos (and one video) of the gig. If you want to see them, look back through my Twitter page at twitter.com/LeoVK

Just got back myself - I thought Jarvis was on great form tonight.

Great pictures Leo - looks like you must have been stood v near to where I was, judging by the pics. Did you get any of the sweets? I got a Freddo.

Yeah, brilliant gig - maybe the best I've ever seen him.  He seemed a bit short of breath at the start, but given how much energy he puts into the performance it's hardly surprising. Even the songs that usually bore me slightly - Pilchard, Homewrecker! - came across as totally wired. Shame about "Girls Like It Too"; didn't realise that was on the setlist.  What else got cut?

A couple of videos of mine:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QR7ghgq47g <- Leftovers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlnjwfG-R9A <- Purple Haze

(latter is from the end of the daytime stuff rather than the gig itself...) Was the lady Jarvis kissed in Leftovers the one who handed him the rose?  I missed that bit...

I had mixed feelings about the actual residency; it was an experience to see the band in such a laid back setting, and some of the jams / backing music worked pretty well (the ones on the final day seemed to be the best.) But I was kind of disappointed that they didn't actually spend any time in all 3 days rehearsing songs for the gig (even Jarvis commented last night that they should've spent more time working on the actual songs.)

I was on the ramp behind the sound desk... Could see the setlist, but unfortunately didn't have a camera. Interestingly though, after 'in your eyes' they were due to play an encore of Girls Like it Too and Hold Still (which would have been something special I think)... However, loads of people left during the end part of in your eyes (the bit where Jarv goes off and the rest of the band make 'noise' for ages). The lights stayed down, until the stage manager guy came to the sound desk and asked them to turn the lights on, explaining that it was 'a bit quiet'... gutted!

Hmmm never thougt about it before, but I guess playing In Your Eyes at the end does make a second encore tricky, cos it's inevitable with the noise part that people will drift off at that point (I was videoing the song, but stopped the recording at that point myself, cos quite honestly watching someone fiddle with an effects pedal is not that thrilling.) I think the song does make a good set closer, but only if its definitely going to be the last song. As long as there's a possible second encore then it's a poor choice really (unless they end the song differently.)

I didn't realise so many people had left by then, it seems a shame cos down the front everyone was mkaing plenty of noise in the hopes of getting them back on stage.

Yeah...for a song that is pretty lengthy anyway, all that noise at the end does nothing for it. All it does is make people want to run for the doors. The only reason I stayed til the end is cos I had seen the setlist on the stage, and thought there would be two more.

Lucky there wasn't though really, cos I would have missed my train!

It was the other way round - she leant in and kissed him on the cheek.  But yes, it was the same lady that gave him the rose. (Not me - honest, I was just stood v near)

Also I think Jarvis fans ought to let themselves go and dance a bit more at his gigs (unless that was all going on behind me?)

Hey everyone! not sure why I hadn't found this site before, I am a pulp/jarv freak and have been for the last 15 years and counting.

I was also very disappointed the last 2 songs didn't get played, and got very annoyed with a couple of girls who were behind me (I think they were some of the circus performers) they were taking the piss out of some of us at the front hanging around for the setlists telling us to take the plastic container home, as J had touched it, and bla bla, wanted to slap them to be honest.
Apart from that, a very special gig, amazing to be so close to him.

Looking fwd to talking all things jc and pulp on here with you lot.

hey Leo, saw you right at the front, did you get one of the beers or was it the girl next to you? can't remember.

Hey anet, my friend just emailed me pics of the gig, and there is one when J is on the stairs, with me on the same shot (I'm chuffed!) but you are on the pic in the background, I recognise your tee!

Yep - that would have been me! I was right in front of the stairs. Where were you standing?

No, it was the girl next to me. Hope I didn't get on everybody's nerves by constantly getting on my phone to tweet my commentary!

Felt a bit embarrassed that the band had to practically trip over me to get onto the stage...I couldn't move any further back for them by that point! :S

Didn't see you Leo fiddling with your phone, was too busy watching JC do his thing!

Anet, I was the one in a red top who gave Jarvis a big kiss, couldn't believe I had the guts, I gues I was pretty hammered by then after drinking since 4pm!

That is quite cool the band had to say excuse me to get on, I couldn't believe there was no securty guarding the stage, I guess that shows us Pulp/Jarv fans are no teenagers anymore! eek!

Ah...did you give him the rose as well...?

And yes...the security was very relaxed. I guess we were all trusted to behave. Any one of us could easily have stuffed Jarvis under one arm and ran out the door with him if we had wanted to! ;)

Legendarygirlfriend - I know who you are now!  The kiss - yes - it made me wish I'd been bold enough to do something like that.  Sometimes you just have to seize the moment - if you stop to think about it, it's gone.  I went to a Morrissey gig the week before, where someone ran onto the stage and kissed his hand, despite massive security. Cos I was at the barrier too, I thought 'what a great idea - I'm going to do that'.  Morrissey was literally just a few feet in front of me, the security where all dealing with some other guy that had tried to run the stage, so I got my leg up onto the barrier and went to go. Then I stopped for a second to think about what I was actually going to do when I got there, and that was it - too late - security had seen me.  (no I'm not a teenager either, and I wouldn't dream of doing that at a Jarv gig - it just seems to be a Morrissey thing)

So well done for just going for it!

Haha I wish Leo! hehe.
Yes, Anet, that was exactly what happened! I walked past a flower stall on my way to the gig and thought, what the hell, I'll buy a red rose just in case I get the chance to do something fun.
And what a suprise I managed to get up front and he came down during leftovers with his hand open right next time, so I gave it to him and when he came up close just seemed natural to give him a kiss hehehe very childish I know hey! but I am massive fan of his music also not only his looks! (He looks good now, didn't fancy him so much a couple of years back, he had really bad hair! hahaha...
Anet, I love Moz too and have been to see him many times, he does seem to have a very obsessive following, I certainly cried the first time I saw him live, his voice was just something else live.
But Jarvis and Pulp were the ones who changed my life in lots of different ways (met my partner while dancing to disco 2000 for example) so Jarvis' gigs are always biggies for me! ...

I see Morrissey as more of a god, and Jarvis as more of a best mate (even though he clearly wouldn't agree with me there!). Both give me equal enjoyment when I see them live and listen to their music, but just in a different sort of way.

I hope this post doesn't make me sound like an obsessed stalker!

not at all anet! I enjoy both almost equally, although the poor Moz is getting worse with age now! Saw him at the albert hall the other day and it was an OK gig, where did you see him last was that the Brentwood gig?

Saw him at Brentwood, and then 2 days later at Ally Pally. He was on top form both nights, but just a couple of weeks before, I'd had the misfortune of travelling all the way to Swindon to see him collapse on stage after the first song - not such a great night that time.

Oh no! I sympathise! as I was at the roundhouse gig where he walked off after 2 songs and then my albert hall gig got postponed! Oh well! hope he gets back into shape for some more gigs next summer maybe?

Hey - I was at that Roundhouse gig too! Doesn't matter to me how many times he cancels or doesn't finish - I'll still keep coming back for more. I believe that the good nights more than make up for the bad ones.
