I suppose now there's no point in searching for cameras because, unless you are going to confiscate everyone's mobile, there's no stopping people from filming or taking pictures

 Was it being used to conceal any meat products?

Having seen Pulp several times in the 90's/early 2000's, and then 3 times this year, I would say they are easily as good this time round.  And I don't think anything will ever top the excitement of making my way to Wireless knowing I was going to see Pulp again after nearly 9 years of waiting and pretty much giving up hope.

As for people chatting at gigs, I got so annoyed once that I tapped a complete stranger on the shoulder and told him if he was going to talk then he should stand behind me and do it, and then sort of 'pushed' him out the way.  Bit ott maybe, but it was one of my favourite songs he was spoiling, and you don't expect it down the front.  Anyway, it worked and he didn't argue.

Aargh! Saw119's pork chop comment hadn't been posted yet when I started typing the above meat-products comment. Honest!

 I think we both know Morrissey's pecadillo's a little too well! Have you seen that pic of him at the Monterey show, looking good. Pity the new material isn't up to much.

People are the same everywhere, Action is my middle name, Kids a looker, Art-Hounds, Scandinavia. The songs he's been doing on tour and on that terrible Janice Long session. Scandinavia ain't too bad I suppose.

I worship the ground that Morrissey walks upon, hence feel a little embarrassed at having to ask you 'WHAT NEW MATERIAL????'

Would you agree that he hasn't done anything to top Life is a Pigsty and probably never will?

I wouldn't really agree with "always changed line-up". Between 1988 and 1997 they gained one member! I think the extent to which they changed between Russell's era and Mark's era shows how you can't just chop and change Pulp members and expect it to still be Pulp. The Pulp I saw between 1998 and 2002 wasn't the same Pulp I saw in 1996 or repeatedly this year. Everything felt different.

Nick would be in

Candida would be in

Steve would be in

Jarv would be in

Get someone who can play some interesting guitar.

I WANT the band to change.

Yeah no direspect to mark or even Russell, but if the other four wanna carry on, it's Pulp to me. Why not a Pulp record with Richard Hawley...

Well if Candida cant do it they can still carry on. Like someone said before Pulp had a lot of members coming and going in the past decades so that's no unnatural for them. As long as Jarvis is involved, it's Pulp really, again no disrespect to the others.

I wouldnt mind a line up like that

Jarvis
Steve
Nick
Mark on keyboards
Richard Hawley on guitar

What's up with Candida, is she ill ?

Andy, if you've seen the shows, you'll probably have noticed Candida. She suffers very badly with arthritis, walks very slowly and seems to have trouble playing the keyboards, even (take a look at how she has to hold her hands nowadays).

I can't imagine that a Jarvis/Steve/Mark/Nick/Richard band would be much different to a cross between the lesser We Love Life rock tracks and the Jarvis solo stuff that most people seem quite keen to slag off.

I think the trouble with Pulp without Russell is that they came so very close to sounding like Just Another Band. By having the violinist who couldn't play guitar like other early/mid 90s lead guitarists made them something so much different. But with an ace guitarist, they became so much duller, I think. The fun had gone.

And that fun is what we got with the 2011 shows that had been missing for such a long time.

 Was she concealing a sneaky pork chop within its folds?

No, she's meat free as well.  It's just Morrissey has a list of items none shall enter with which oddly includes brollies.  Maybe someone chucked one at him at one point.  Bit ridiculous as we were in the circle.
