Common People

Maybe a tad long, but fuck it, it's they're first gig in years, they should be itching to play. Can't see them playing much off We Love Life unfortunately, Russell may already be non-involved enough with the Hardcore material (hopefully he'll remember the guitar for Help The Aged), and Sunrise aside they may not feel there'll be interest in the songs from their last album.


Dream Set-List, which wouldn't be too different from the above, would also include:

Mis-shapes (they don't like this, so although it's their joint biggest hit in terms of charts I think they'll be stubborn and not play it)

It's A Dirty World (fuck me, imagine if they could nail this live! Jarvis was impressed by it when doing the reissues so if any forgotten song has re-emerged into his consciousness I would hope this is the one)

Something from the early days - Little Girl or I Want You would do

either Countdown or Love Is Blind from Seperations (for a festival gig My Legendary Girlfriend is a bit long and patience-testing to the uninitiated)

and anything off The Sisters EP.

Oh and Birds and Bad Cover Version from We Love Life.

Obviously I could add a host of others - Rattlesnake, Live On, Pink Glove, I Spy, Sylvia, After You, fucking Wickerman... It would be fantastic if they did a fan-geek show for us, but I have to temper this with realism.
As long as they play for at least 90 minutes I don't care what they perfrom from their back-catalouge as it will most likely be immense regardless.

lots of reformed bands do very similar sets when they return, its cos they haven't been together for a while & have only practised a certain number of the songs (if they remember how to play them!)
hopefully pulp will be a bit different

I'll think of a set later on but in reality, I think it will be similar to Auto except "Common People" may be first or in the middle of the set.

I might be way off the mark here but I think starting the set with "Sunrise" then launching straight into a couple of brand new songs would be fantastic!

Deep Fried in Kelvin would be a great opener for a scaled down fanclub type show. Probably not one for the festivals though!

Every song on The Sisters EP!

I have to admit, the only way I'd be more excited would be if Webber wasn't returning.  No disrespect to him or his input, but a strictly early nineties set would be divine.

Through in a bit of Hardcore and We Are The Boyz too.

Why are my post going missing?

edit - never mind

I'm taking the "all periods" mentioned in the press release with as much truth as the "original lineup". Thinking realistically-ish:

Do You remember the first time
Help the Aged
Trees
Sorted
Countdown
Razzamatazz
This is Hardcore
Pink Glove
Mis-shapes
Little Soul
Death II
Bad Cover Version
Lipgloss
Common People
Sunrise
----
59, Lyndhurst Grove
Something Changed
Babies
----
TV Movie
Disco 2000

Would literally explode with excitement if any of the other Sisters EP tracks or Sheffield: Sex City are played.


On the subject of setlists, I recall a few years back that someone had meticulously documented pretty much every gig. Anybody got a link to this please as my google searches have proved largely fruitless?

Yeah, Webbo not being involved would be a big blow as he's by far the most competent musician in the group which is a good foil for Russell and Jarvis' more unique styles.

I actually think the best musician in the group is probably Steve. Not a multi-instrumentalist like Mark (or Jarvis and Russell for that matter), but an excellent, underrated bass player.

But I am quite happy that Mark is part of the reunion.

I actually think earlier songs are quite likely, but probably only the ones played on the forest tour.
I'd love Little Girl (WBE) & I Want You (:

I hope Russell does some vocal, maybe Anorexic Beauty or Fairground.

The extended version of Live Bed Show may be likely, I forgot about I Spy - I'd love to hear that one live again and with Russel on board it may be so
