you already saw Like a friend at Glastonbury you GREEDY BOY

and yeah that's a point, out of all the songs on that encore list picture uploaded long ago, sheffield:sex city is the only one yet to be played, COULD IT BE?!?!? (though come on now, DLS is a much better use of that time)

i can imagine it now..

"for now, this is indeed pulp's last summer, but this song isn't about pulp's last summer... it's about david's..." *BAO BANAO BAO ba BAO*

will suck if one night gets the bogstandard set and the other gets the cool rarities. we all know the real fans got tickets for the 31st and should get the good set ;)

 I expect this but pessimistically expect tonight will be the festival set.  I know this was the one many of us, self included, got on the pre-sale, but whenever a band does multiple nights I always seem to miss the best night.  Having seen/heard the festival set at Hyde Park I am selfishly hoping for something a bit different.  Razzmatazz as a bare minimum.

My missus is there now - I couldn't go due to work commitments... hoping they won't do all the rarities tonight!

Hi Jazza, I had three from my wish list too - Countdown, Razzmatazz and O.U. - couldn't believe it! Are you able to upload a photo of the setlist? I'd love to print off a copy. Lucky you getting that! What a great night and another to come tomorrow!!!

That was fun wasn't it! Though when he did the introductory speech to Bad Cover Version I really, really, really wanted to let myself believe he was talking about Seconds. Not to be... saw whoever got the Setlist - the main thing I saw on it that got missed out (probably to make room for Underwear) was Sheffield Sex City, so maybe tomorrow!

Oh man!  That is such a pity.  Whoever put that card on stage should hang their head in shame.

Great setlist. Two firsts for me Countdown and O.U and it was great to hear Have You Seen Her Lately and Razzmatazz. My only change would have been to drop Wickerman and include Pink Glove and Joyriders. I love it how Jarvis approaches all the songs with so much enthusiasm these days. 1998 - 2002 it sometimes seemed like he was going through the motions, especially with Common People. Tonight was definitely up there as one of the best gigs I've been too.

The crowd were a lot better than at Hyde Park - much more animated, although it might have been because I was nearer the front. I was standing near a really tall girl. A couple of times during Underwear Jarvis pointed at me but I am guessing it was probably the tall girl : (

Incidentally Jazza, did they drop anything from the setlist to make way for Underwear?

 I wondered that too!

Incredible... Who'd ever really expected Wickerman? And Countdown so very early on - I nearly split open. I wonder what was dropped for Underwear.

When he said that it wasn't "only" going to be B-sides and rarities, the possibility of a trawl through the catalogue seemed in the offing and that was very exciting... even paying lip-service to Silence. Have You Seen Her Lately, wow.

However, in response to speculation about their future post-2011, the fact that Countdown was as archival as they got bodes well... any more of the older stuff would have felt like a goodbye. This didn't.

Sure, there are a couple more gigs, but I can't see tomorrow being terribly different to tonight, and I imagine Ireland will be more akin to the Wireless set. I don't think we've seen the last of them.

If I was downstairs I think it would be up there withthe top 5 of all my gigs. Unfortunately most people upstairs seemed more occupied with their iphones

 ...yeah, it was a little low-key up there. Everyone sat down during Countdown, OU and Wickerman. I was at the Academy recently for Suede's Dog Man Star play-through, and that was much, much more lively in the circle. 

Ugh!! Work blocks most ticketing websites, so I'm always too late to be standing! Still, lucky to be there seating or otherwise.

screw those who got them to play underwear instead of sheffield sex city! bunch of us were calling for it and to hear it was on the setlist and skipped?!?!

sorry Pip - they did indeed play rarities including the majority of my 'wishlist' honestly holding back the tears of joy when they started playing wickerman! (despite the people around mes somewhat bewildered faces) and countdown, OU and razzmatazz! still in shock and even managed to get a setlist. Such an amazing night and GREAT setlist. With Party hard and Sheffield sex city on the encore section with misshapes and razzmatazz I have high hopes for tomorrow too!

Well that was enjoyable wasn't it 

I really expected them to play almost the same setlist as Hyde Park but as Jazza and others have mentioned they decided to throw in some rarities, wow I wasn't expecting that. I was on the barrier to the right of the stage, the ringing in my ears is telling me I was quite close to the speakers. Jarivs really was on top form and so were the rest of them for that matter, the setlist was a really nice mix and i think the crowd were pretty decent as well. Feeling a little hyper atm 

The only problem now is because I'm currently poor and i expected them to play the same setlist as Hyde Park on both nights I only bought a ticket for the Wednesday. But after that set I just have a feeling they might throw in some other surprises on the 2nd night so now being poor is not important I NEED a ticket!
I've replied to every reasonable add on Gumtree so hopefully someone will relpy to me, if anyone has a spare standing or 2 on here let me know please.
I hope emails are fine on here davejnoel at gmail.com
