Ahhhhh. It was brilliant - I agree with Stephen (can't remember if it was on this thread) that there wasn't much interaction with the audience but I put that down to him being a bit startled at how big the RAH was. He seemed to be trying to sing to everyone on all the balconies rather than focusing on the people in the arena which is fair enough (I remember I was a bit disappointed in Brixton sitting because it was more like having an overhead view of a concert - good but a bit detached, so I hope people didn't think that was the case here). I'm glad that it wasn't just a run through of Different Class and even had to pinch myself as he was introducing My Lighthouse - unbelievable!

anyone else see or rather hear Mark's guitar fail during Disco 2000? Poor sod my heart really went out to him on that.

 Don't worry - that was when he was really getting into it and started to walk to the front of the stage but his cable didn't extend that far and so he ended up pulling the pedal along with him. The whole band, incuding him, was laughing so I don't think it was that bad smile. In fact Steve was positively laughing his head of by the end - really nice to see (sorry Tricia I tried taking a photo but my camera was out of battery)

Overall just brilliant

The audio recording I made on my iPhone seems to have turned out far better than I could have imagined. There are bound to be blips in parts and I know for certain I stopped it and started again during This Is Hardcore but it should be ok if there's no better bootleg. I'll give the whole thing a listen when I get home and get it uploaded somehow.

Oh yeah - just to confirm Russell wasn't there (which annoyed me a lot more than I anticipated),  I guess that's why they focused more on post (and pre!) Russell songs. Still not nearly enough to stop me from enjoying the gig. 

Here is my video of I Spy - sound is a bit muffled because I had to shield the mic. It was that or a load of inaudable vibrations

As alluded to elsewhere, given the make up of the audience, it held most people rapt even though I was probably in the minority in my area of the stalls overly familiar with Pulp, as I seemed to be with most of the TCT people, stage right.  

My wife said it was the best concert she had ever attended and was jumping around like a teenager at the end.   She couldn't believe a band could put on such a good show.  

Also, Cat's Eyes were great support, I await their new material with baited breath.

The very minor disappointment for me is they still haven't done My Legendary Girlfriend live smile

A list of people born on March 31st... A crib sheet for between song references?

Did he dedicate a song to any of them?

I can imagine Jarvis being a fan of The Magus by John Fowles.

I think it's people who were born on that day - he didn't mention any of them though

Thinking back... I think one of my highlights was during 'Common People', Jarvis going to the back of the stage to hit his big drum for the second time, and instead of using the stick - kicked it repeatidly and then the drum falling off the back off the stage. How I laughed!

 He seemed to be having some difficulty making out anything that was written on the floor last night.

I was absolutely miles away so struggled to make out any details of what was going on, but did Jarvis fall off the stage at one point? He joked about it at the end of the song I think

Really awesome gig last night, oved it, and a great venue.

Jarvis did tell one porkie tho... he said that 'Bird in Your Garden' hadn't been playe0 din roughly ten years, but it was played in Melbourne (I know, as it's the onyl other Pulp gig I've been to !!)

I'll let him off though as it was an awesome night :D

I had a great time, although standing near the front, in the middle, was possibly unwise (I was a couple of people to the right of CT during the Hawley/Boring hilarity). Despite not being in the best of health I was in no pain until Sunrise, and no serious pain until some UTTER MORON decided to try and crowd-surf during Common People, knocking me nearly to the floor, and cutting my friend's ear. I swear he's the same guy who was stood behind me on the second night of Brixton, barking the lyrics out of tune (and often not even the right words) and shoving more for fun than because of the music.

Some people.

But yes. Jarvis. Pulp. Lighthouse. Etc. Yay.

I wasn't there but wasn't Birds In Your Garden played as a soundcheck (or am I making that up?). Stephen, I think he was going to say something about people's birthdays but then everyone claimed that it was their birthday

Jazza, an excellent piece of memorabilia! Shame he didn't mention any of those things he'd prepared...

I got quite a nice bit, too. I'll try and take a photo later...

Not according to this..? http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pulp/2011/festival-hall-melbourne-australia-bd0a1ce.html

Also, I have a bootleg of that gig, Birds In Your Garden definitely isn't played, nor is it, according to setlist.fm, played at any of the other gigs on the Australian tour. I remember someone saying it was played during soundcheck, but that doesn't really count- it still hadn't been performed live in 10 years before the other night.

Jazza, that list is the usual 'birthday' list. Odd indeed he didn't mention them. He usually does. The birthday lists for Glasto and Brixton can be found on the Pulpwiki pages...

 I spent the entire show standing next to a couple who spent most of the time either snogging the face off each other or dancing so vigourously that I had to keep ducking to avoid being punched in the face. I spent 1 hour 40 minutes trying to edge away from flying limbs but the further I moved away the more room they had to just get even more wild with their moves. I really thought I was going to walk out of there with a black eye or a nose bleed.

Of course now I think it's hilarious! Don't drink too much before a concert kids, the rest of us can see you!

 The couple next to me were like that as well! I blame all that dirty singing by Jarvis.
