There was some video I think, or maybe stills, by the company who supplied the furniture for the rehearsal studio which showed some pages of songs rehearsed. From what's been said in the few interviews the band have given, it sounds like they gave more or less everything - album tracks and perhaps the odd b-side, at least one run-through before deciding to persevere with it or not.
The only things on that list that haven't been played all seem to be from Separations: Love Is Blind, My Legendary Girlfriend, Death Comes To Town, Don't You Want Me Anymore? (did we get proof that this was soundchecked?) and then I Love Life (no great loss, but at least the latter part of it can be given some welly live).
Of the songs not visible on those lists (not to say they weren't rehearsed) that were played, are, I think: My Lighthouse, Back in, ahem, LA - both which appeared to be fairly impromptu (well, My Lighthouse was probably only decided upon leading up to the Royal Albert Hall show, which incidentially got a five-star live review in Q this month. It was written by one of Nick's in-laws, mind); Dishes, Glory Days being played across the Atlantic last month were possibly only rehearsed once Russell left. I'm surprised that we didn't hear more of Help The Aged and A Little Soul or one or two more Hardcore songs. I'd forgive them leaving It's A Dirty World off TIH if they had played it over the past year. Fairly unlikely I suppose...but not much more than Back In LA!
She's A Lady and Seconds were the disappointing absences for me while Russell was on-board. His violin on the few occasions they performed Seconds live was much more interesting and prominent than on record (Highbury Garage 1993 and Kentish Town Forum 1994 are the only existing live recordings of it I think. A cleanly recorded 2011 update would have been nice). Starting one of the Brixton shows with the extended violin-intro She's A Lady would have been quite something too. But I'm being greedy now. I've been listening a lot to Have You Seen Her Lately? from the first Brixton night. Such a beautiful rendition.
Just listened to the recording to check really quickly the setlist is: 1. Do You Remember the First Time? 2. Monday Morning 3. Something Changed 4. Mis-Shapes 5. Disco 2000 6. Sorted For E's & Wizz 7. I Spy 8. Babies 9. Underwear 10. This Is Hardcore 11. Sunrise 12. Common People Maybe they soundchecked it.
That's from the French festival? It's down on the wiki as being played - as is Lipgloss http://www.pulpwiki.net/Pulp/Live14July2011FestivalDesVieillesCharrues

Where did the recording you are referring to come from?
The info on PulpWiki might well be wrong, but the problem is that the sources are contradictory. The setlist above is the same as the one on Setlist.fm. However, if you look at the thread from last year, there are two reviews: the first mentions 'Lipgloss' and 'A Little Soul' being played and then a second says 'Live Bed Show' was and 'I Spy' wasn't played. Confusing.
Edit - plus, the recording below contains clips of Lipgloss and A Little Soul.
