They've gone about this tour quite strategically, haven't they?
Rolling out dates at different times... secret show at Glastonbury... waiting until the moment after they leave the stage at Wireless to announce more London dates... now waiting until the last Festival performance to allow cameras.
Surely (probably a lot more wishful thinking to this hypothesis than logic) the fact that it is being televised in order to raise public awareness EVEN MORE suggests that they are going to announce a tour-to get people wanting more and then buying tickets when given the possibility. Otherwise they would have done it in the beginning so more people bought festival tickets. Either that or they want a nice send off :/

Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates introduce coverage of the main stage performance by recently re-formed Britpop stars Pulp. Having split in 2002, Jarvis Cocker and his band - including violinist Russell Senior, who had left in 1996 - reunited to play a series of gigs earlier this year, and their Reading set is rumoured to feature several of their most popular songs from throughout their career.
So from this, it could be the complete (or very nearly) set!
There is another program on BBC3 after showing The Strokes & Jane's Addiction @ Reading

Yeah I think it'll be the whole set. Sorry about the last bit of that detail by the way - "and their Reading set is rumoured to feature several of their most popular songs from throughout their career.". Erm, yes I think it probably will feature some popular songs! I tried to rewrite this but one of the subs wouldn't have it!
Good point, it'll probably be shortened then. Damm! I suppose Reading is considered more important as it was originally just there and not Leeds? And of course the North isn't considered as important as the South by the media...
Well, I'd be amazed if they didn't play some 'popular songs' as they put it. Maybe a complete trawl through the back catalouge isn't going to happen.
It would be great if it was all full of obscurities! But as Pulp told Steve Lamacq, the live shows wouldn't be a collection of B side!
Shame really, I'd love to hear Ansaphone!
Rgds
I would love to hear ansaphone too...
To cut a long story short, I have an access all areas pass for the sunday at leeds and if I am lucky enough to see or speak to any of Pulp, i am going to be cheeky and request that they play it, either that or cuckoo... as i don't know the level of access with the pass, i don't even know if i will even get a glimpse of anyone, but if the dream comes true, im going to go for it
Those two hours obviously will include changing the stage and instruments set-up for the later act but maybe there'll be a 90 mins set for the band going on second last.
would someone be able to make me a copy? and of The Story of Common People?? will provide DVDs and or postage and or other Pulp stuff on DVD...Im hyperventalating here!!!
