He did say 'you're all recruited for our next tour' to the audience for providing lighting during two songs. I yelled 'when is the tour?' but J really wasn't up for much audience interaction last night. See also my 'what have you done with Russell?' when he introduced the Common People violinist for the evening :)
I wans't there either but I would be amazed if that was the last British show. The band are quite sentimental sometimes and Jarvis was visibly moved when he said goodbye at Magna so I don't think he would have let the moment just pass him by if they were never going to play on these shores again.
I agree. The last night at brixton felt very much like it could've it (maybe they just weren't sure at the time?), but last night's exit didn't have any feeling of a long goodbye behind it. I'm pretty sure we'll see Pulp again here.

Didn't the last show at the festival in Ireland last summer have a potentially terminal air about it? From what I've always understood, the Magna ending was not definite at the time. They were saying again how nervous they felt having not played for 6 months bar the NME Awards. If they are contemplating recording, that is a big step further than a few festival sets of hits, which was a big enough step in itself at first.
They must be making it up as they go along, seeing how they feel about it, but they do look very happy about it all.

Whilst, as everybody on here will surely know, I am most certainly in the "the reunion is not forever, they will never do another album etc etc" camp, it would be very unlikely that last night was the last UK show. It felt like they were just getting warmed up for gigs this year!
