Outside Bar Italia:

Sarah, Anet, Me, Stella from Germany (someone I'd met in the crowd and brought along), Josh and his mate who lurk on here apparently (and his mate knows Fuss Free?), and Deebs.

 

Yeah his mate is my mate Ross! What a guy. Didn't know he knows Fuss Free though.

 Don't think he does actually - think we were getting forum members mixed up!

I don't understand how any Pulp fan could not love Grace Jones. She is the essence of everything Pulp stands for. Grace Jones is glamorous and trashy. She's good bad sex. She's old enough to know better but she just can't help herself. She's a relic that can never be replicated. She's the red light district in Disneyworld. God, I love her so much.

my review:

the hives - why were they there? they haven't done anything relevant to anyone since 2002-3 ish... they were kind of an interesting gimmick back then, unfortunately that's worn off a bit in 2011. it was unbelievable that they put these jokers on after the horrors meaning i missed 95% of the horrors set.

tv on the radio - great band, great performance as expected

grace jones - surprisingly very entertaining, top marks on the hula hooping!

pulp - i thought this was a dream setlist really. haven't heard Mile End since v96, pretty sure i've never heard Bar Italia live and I Spy is obviously a highlight of any set. i had to tell a pete doherty looking twat to "shut the fuck up" during the intro to the latter because he insisted on singing "Our House" by Crosby Stills, Nash and Young (why?!?) with a bunch of screaming harpies during the opening section. luckily he accepted his mistake and shut up.

Oops, sorry I was trying to reply to Fuss Free. I love Grace Jones too and I think you've summed her up brilliantly!! (sorry, Ross it was me standing next to you who asked you to keep it down while she was playing) I thought she was brilliant and it brought back lots of happy memories of hanging out at the Fridge at Brixton in the late 80s. And I was pleased she played a couple of songs from Hurricaine, which is an amazing album.

I was following all the posts yesterday on the train back from Cornwall but kept losing my signal so I couldn't reply. I realise now that as well as meeting Sarah I saw a few of you: Calum (standing to the right if me), Deebs, Ross and his mate were beside me for a while. I loved every minute but the pushing and shoving freaked me out at the beginning but I'm very glad I held out as I had a great view. Surprised, like others, that not many of crowd seemed to know words for TIH and Sunrise but it was nice to actually be able to hear Jarvis singing. I've always regretted missing out on Pulp first time round and can't quite believe I've seen them live now. Hopefully, I'll get tickets for Brixton.

It's as if Pulp finished up in 1995...

I have never heard anything post 1995 by Pulp played on XFM London whereas Babies and DTRTFT? do the the odd airing.

Anyone who came to Pulp casually in the last ten years or so, has probably not gone beyond Different Class and His 'n' Hers.  And the wireless festival is festival-lite for those who aren't too convinced of the benefits of a weekend of mud (self included).

I'm still hoping Pulp do albums in their entirety as concerts.  I'd skip Different Class, but Hardcore would be an essential gig.

Freaks would be an interesting one! (Probably for them as much as us, too...)

Were people not singing along to Sunrise and TiH because they didn't know them? Or because they're slower, less singalong-y kind of songs to start with? Maybe a bit of both? Personally I was surprised that so many people were word-perfect even on a lot of the lesser-known Different Class tracks.

Good point that, people still seemed to enjoy those tracks around me, and the crowd had literally shouted word for word every song where I was stood until that point, so you can't blame them for having a breather!

I was belting out all the words!! Did get some funny looks.

They're having a Pulp night at Feeling Gloomy (in Angel) this saturday, last time they gave away loads of free shit, I got a copy of Freaks on vinyl! Shame I don't have a record player but still looks awesome on my wall!

Is anyone else here going to this one? There's a facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=216484821716065

 

Let me know! Would be cool to have a big crew of hardcore fans there!

Help The Aged would have been pretty well-known/received I think. And Russell has played it before (albeit 15 years ago at V96!). I've heard it on 6 Music and a couple of other alternative stations quite a bit over the past few months. And the Ali G spoof would have ingrained it a bit more on many general punters.

Actually, that got me thinking - I've just checked to see if Russell has a writing credit for on TIH for Help The Aged. He doesn't which is a bit odd considering it was written on tour in '96.

Maybe Jarvis wrote it but (in Pulp democratic fashion) credited the whole band as it's line-up then was, once it finally came out? Otherwise it seems a bit strange that all other members of Pulp except Russell had a hand in writing it together.

Were people not singing along to Sunrise and TiH because they didn't know them? 

I just couldn't do It nor Freaks live. 

I believe so.  It wasn't even the lack of singing, it was more the not realising the changes in tempo/mood, particularly in Sunrise that seemed to indicate a lack of awareness.  People were in modo di marcia funebre when they should have been con brio. smile

 

(no not a musician, I looked this up, as I wasn't entirely sure if tempo was exactly what I meant)

Yes, and the fact that some of the very rude people who barged to the front didn't seem to know much bar the hits. Oh well, I think I'm too old for this kind of festival...

Pip, to maybe clear up the confusion about the encore that never happened I think I heard Jarvis joke at the end, 'See you all again...probably in about fifteen years'. Is that maybe where you took the fifteen minutes from?

Certainly most of the crowd stayed waiting for more and I'm sure the band would have happily played on but festivals like Wireless are so strict on timings unfortunately.

 Yes I think I must have misheard him then. I was just expecting Razzmatazz, but never mind... they can make it up to us at Brixton

Loads of great videos (with great sound) by one guy on youtube. The whole show is there, if anyone is gifted enough to rip an mp3 boot out of it, would be highly appreciated! :D

I've got an awesome video of Jarvis at the start of I Spy, where he's literally directly in front of me, I nearly hit him on the head with my phone! Sadly my phone is rubbish and won't let me get videos off it.

awesome gig as everyone else has said & not a lot to add

(also enjoyed the naked & the famous, clock opera, devotchka (featuring a banana solo) tvotr & grace jones)

but one thing that surprised me was the messages on the screen before the gig - were they not proof read?
"make some niose" being the most obvious error

After Kate Moss' failed beeline to the VIP area at Glasto, celebrity ligging at live Pulp events continues...

I'm a bit surprised our forum meet-up photos weren't included in that article!

Maybe they just wanted to go straight in with the normal version of Hardcore and not the violin sample at the start

Perhaps they would have dropped it had they been running over?

I'm glad they did include 'The End of the Line' at the start though, it's much more epic with it!

So I got back to Australia this morning and what an amazing journey home - thinking that I finally after 13 years got to see the band that means the world to me!

I thought Wireless was fantastic. We had a great time in the bar area and The Horrors, Cut Copy and Grace Jones were brilliant. As the black curtain fell away I had a few tears in my eyes. 3 days later my voice is still shot after the singing and screaming! Was a pleasure to meet a few of you also at Acrylic on Saturday night. Had a ball...

xxx Now I have Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Splendour to look forward too.
