Hearing reports from the weekend at Glasto, it seems it was the hottest festival there since the halcyon days of 1995.

Lauren Laverne's show on 6 Music had a top ten Glasto moments vote last week and it was nice to see Pulp get to number 4 (I was pleasantly surprised they played Sorted For E's & Wizz instead of Common People) complete with a nice letter from a listener who said as a Stone Roses fan he was gutted that they had cancelled and wasn't too bothered with seeing Pulp beforehand. All these years later and it remains the best live music performance he's ever seen.

Considering most of the 80,000 (or however many watched Pulp that night) had only ever heard of Common People, with a decent smattering probably recognising Babies and Do You Remember The First Time? (and the hardcore who had His'n'Hers), it's still pretty astonishing that Pulp managed to headline at all (I think Mark Webber said ''They asked everyone else!'') and even moreso that they pulled it off. Jarvis' banter and humour obviously helped but getting masses of people to jump up and down and sing along to old songs they'd never heard and new songs (half a dozen or so from Different Class, most of which were debuted there) that hadn't even been fully recorded yet...blimey, it's no wonder everything after this point would feel like a comedown.

That this gig still hasn't been fully screened or flogged on DVD is both puzzling and disappointing.

I know Mark Sturdy listened, enraptured to this performance at home on his radio as a callow youth, was anyone lucky enough to be there? ArrGee perhaps?
