 I have never really found much in the Pulp back catalogue pre-Mackey/Banks of any real interest.  To me, it's two or three other bands, none of which I would have liked had I heard them at the time.  I have the three CDs but rarely listen to them.  Maybe there are a few tracks that are OK, but Death II apart, I think everything with Mackey and Banks on board is vastly superior.  

 

Death II is possibly the most Pulpy pre His N Her track there is, why on earth do you not like it?!?

Well put, Jazza! Yeah, I have nothing against Mark really, and he is fun to watch on stage, but he does lack that originality and creativity that Pulp at - to my mind - their pop peak of '91 - '93 really had.

And that's the Pulp I love!

I'm glad Russell put people to shame, although it really did look like a band with their crazy hire sideman, Russell. I liked the fact that his involvement was all clearly on his terms...

 But wasn't Mark was mostly there by 1993? He started to appear on stage towards the end of 1991.  Arguably they weren't any good until he arrived smile

Got to say I really did think My Lighthouse sounded brilliant! I think they should revisit a lot more early stuff. Little Girl WBE, My Legendary Girlfriend...if Russell comes back once he's finished with his play, They Suffocate At Night could be epic!
Having said that, I thought the set was way too light on TIH era, tho' it was nice to hear some WLL songs which always sound better live than on record for me.
Not a particular fan of Disco 2000, Like A Friend or Sunrise, something like Lipgloss/Countdown/His'N'Hers/Acrylic Afternoons would have been ace.
But I couldn't believe My Lighthouse! Second-best moment of the reunion behind Sheffield: Sex City in my opinion.

 I just don't like it.  I'm not too worried about why.

So what did they have in terms of merch? I hope there's some interesting stuff at the American shows.

Five star review and two page spread in this month's Q magazine.  Worth a read in WH Smiths.

Smiths: yes, any other news agents: only if you want a fight on your hands.
