Hugely disappointed to have fast forwarded through two hours and all there was was a cursory mention they played.

Even if there is a DVD in the offing I can't see that showing the performance of one song would have been a problem

My Wireless Sunday ticket just says "Pulp + Special Guests". Lets hope that means Pulp treat it as their own show and give us something special rather than a typical festival performance. The rest of the day's line-up is crap so the audience will be expecting a good performance from Pulp.

 Very tempted to just head over to Hyde Park on the the night and wait until the last minute to get a ticket off a tout.  Can't imagine too many people been that interested by teh line up.

This set list is a little disheartening. I was so excited after I heard about the France show, but so far the festival shows have been back to the old formula.

Actually I'm pretty  excited about Grace Jones. I think her 2008 album Hurricane is really excellent. Providing, of course, she turns up on time... And my 14-yr old son really rates Yuck.

I'll stand through any old shite if it means I can be near the front for Pulp.

hahahah Pip!!!

Hey all, just back from Isle of Wight, totally knackered!!! Rain all day yesterday, so that was pretty tiring, and then having to get out of site this morning in the mud.

Pulp day Sat, was perfect, the sun was shining, people were happy... I was working all day and got off just in time to go see Seasick Steve and Iggy Pop who were playing before Pulp, Jarvis was at the side of the stage watching Iggy, I saw him walking around backstage, he looked pretty chilled, I had a production pass so was on stage to see Iggy and others, but Pulp didn't allow anyone to watch them from the stage, which wasn;t a bad thing, cause the production was very impressive and of course they didn't want it ruined by Saidr Frost and people who were there in a hen do and who weren't allowed on stage to see Pulp, hehehe...
So I headed to the crowd and managed to squeeze myself to the front, I was about 5 meters from the barrier and the show started, It was a truly magical moment, as you guys said about Primavera, First time went down well, then Pink Glove and people around me weren't even singing it, so got really fed up and squeezed in to were there were some other pulp brothers and sisters singing so made friends and had a great time, it really pissed me off that a lot of people at the front weren't pulp fans and were just waiting for the foos taking precious space.

The band was in top form and Jarv looked amazing in his velvet suit, came down to the audience to give us some sweets, and all in all it was like a dream to me and it was over way too quick.
Highlight for me was prob I spy, but def looking fwd to wireless to see if they do other less predictable songs.

LOVE ALL!!!

In fairness they weren't headlining and only had an hour. These types of shows (along with T In The Park, Reading) are always likely to be hits-dominated. A great many of those audiences will only have heard of Common People and Disco 2000 at best. They're only foolish teens, they'll learn in time.

Though sticking with the hits formula it would be nice for Misshapes to get an airing and one of Party Hard/Help The Aged. The former to keep up the pace, the latter cos it would be recognised by many. Neither seem to be on the summer setlist though.

Wireless and Leeds exlcluded you're probably better off seeing Pulp abroad this summer as they'll invariably headline and therefore have an extra half-hour or so. Also more likely to be creative with their sets on foreign shores (Razzmatazz at Barcelona, most of the set in Toulouse - though I suppose that was more a dress rehearsal for everything).

The Wireless organisers must have been pissed-off that they lost their Pulp exclusivity almost immediately back in November when the reunion was announced. IoW was added about two days later I recall. If Hyde Park was their only UK appearance tickets would no doubt be shifting a lot quicker. I'm broke but tempted to fly to London and get a cheap ticket for Wireless.

Sorry Jazza. You can't be too foolish if you're on here. I'd get that hair cut though. Hippies and Pulp don't mix ;)

 It would have all been known before hand. Wireless would definitely have been under no illusion that their Pulp show would be exclusive.

The tickets for Hyde Park would shift quicker if the line up was better or the tickets were cheaper.  As much as I want to see Pulp, I don't really want to watch any of the other acts (especially Grace Jones).  I'll take my chances on the day,  the later it gets the cheaper the ticket.  

I am still hoping that Pulp do some post-festival gigs during the winter, I suspect they won't announce them until September though.

 To be honest I'm thrilled about the lackluster support at Wireless. The show won't be as crowded, and virtually everyone will be there to see Pulp. At least there won't be any Foo Fighters fans to ruin the mood. 

I anticipate a friendly crowd. Pulp have long since shrugged off their punter fans, and Grace Jones is wonderfully emasculating.

I actually think theres some bands worth watching in Hyde Park - The Horrors have been a revelation except for their embarassing debut - last album was excellent and new single is very good. Yuck are a bunch of Londoners who probably owe a fair amount to Pavement and Dinosaur Jr, but whom I really like, and TV on the Radio are very good too. But we dont know whos playing where and at what time...
