That really is astonishing, no other word for it. Good for the band, but you're all bastards for being there when I wasn't!

Back In LA actually sounded pretty good. Jarvis sang it through his megaphone and really put his shoulder into the screams at the end. He seemed pretty into it, really.

He said something like, "This was written ten years before I was anywhere near LA. It's just a series of cliches really. I apologize." Then he said something about how this was from when it was, "Only me and Candida in the band." And "Please bear with us", "It's only 2 minutes long."

When His N Hers got to the "what are you frightened of" bit, and the "wasp guy" did his response, Jarvis said something like, "Ah, you've heard this one then." It kind of spoiled it actually, because he had to go into his wasp speech instead of doing something new. I would say we shouldn't shout "wasps" and "self portraits" or any of that if they do it again, UK.

OU had a very extended intro with a lot of gonging.

Dishes sounded pitch-perfect to me. And he was doing his initials in the air and washing dishes with the mic, which was not something you see in your rock stars that much nowadays.

I really hope a bootleg turns up because he did a bit where he shouted at Mark for daring to walk towards him and then started poking his piano saying, "Now I've touched your piano, now I've done that, now I've touched your piano." I could have watched that interaction all night.

 What song was that on or before?

One of the encores. Might've been between OU and Bad Cover Version. He sort of chased him back into his corner. Reminded me of the outtakes from the Like A Friend video where Jarvis is running around while everyone else watches.

Mark was smiling. I think he liked the attention.

Wonder when they got it together to learn Back In LA, which version they listened to and I wonder if Jarvis got the words off Pulpwiki?

Forgot about this show and no one has posted a set-list ...Back In LA wasn't really played, was it?! Christ on a bike... Jarvis is some man for the word association isn't he? It seems like he'll make the band dust off any old song if there's a tenuous link to it - which is a pity Coy Mistress wasn't played when he made notes on his set-list to mention Andrew Marvell's birthday at RAH.

Seriously though, if they're open to suggestions, I'd kill to hear It's A Dirty World live - it was written and recorded by the currently active line-up and it's the best thing they wrote (except for This Is Hardcore) post-Russell. Please!

I think that's a given - regarding getting the lyrics from the wiki. He seems to be increasingly reliant on it. He is probably equally parts fascinated, bemused and embarassed at how detailed an archive it is of his professional career.

 If you haven't watched the vid of My Lighthouse from Pomona re.Pulpwiki then you should and somebody said that Jarvis said it was Candida's idea to do Back In LA.

Some great footage of this show is starting to pop up.  God how I wish these crappy little video cameras had limiters...

Like a Friend:

Razzmatazz (not so great actually):

Late for work...

twiggy, what did you think of the show? how did it compare to s.f.? i met someone who'd been to the warfield show and she said that the s.f. show had a much more mellow and sexual atmosphere while the pomona show was more energetic. i am sad, though, about jarvis' comments toward the end which seemed to be saying "goodbye" to us all, and not in a "goodbye until next time" kind of way...:(

Frisko,

Thanks for the descriptions! I love the Mark/Jarvis stuff. A highlight of Brixton was when Mark played a chord whilst Jarvis was talking and Jarvis berated him, "You'd go fucking mental if I did that when you were speaking!"

Saw, could have done Back in LA in soundcheck, frankly. Two/three chords? Easy peasy!

Ruby, what were the comments exactly...?

Candida must be pretty persuasive to get Jarvis to play that.

So far there's Lke a Friend x2, Common people, disco 2000 x2 and razzmatazz up from this gig.

Is someone teasing us, or just have dull tastes? :)

My friend who went to the SF show said someone asked her what "O.U." and "My Lighthouse" were when they played them and I was like noooo you don't deserve to see those songs live! Anyway the point is people might just have dull tastes/the people who don't didn't bother filming it. Fingers crossed for more.
