Just before Help The Aged, when the lights went red, was anyone else expecting TIH to start? I was and screamed in absolute delight when I was wrong!

Amazing gig. I had a brilliant time. I got dead centre front second person from the barrier, not bad for only arriving at about 8pm.
Deffinatly up there as one of my fave gigs.

Didnt make it to the leadmill, ended up taking 2 hrs to walk to city centre, and by then i was cold and tired so just drank in the hotel. I keep finding peices of confetti in random places lmao.

Kicking myself a bit for not approaching Mark when I was in his vicinity for a good while afterwards. His wife and two other women were with him at all times though so I didn't want to intrude. Did pluck up a bit of courage, finally, to ask Nick to pose for a pic at least:

 Managed to blag an after-show pass. Thanks very much to the person who supplied it.

To be honest it was more like an extended family and friends party, felt a bit awkward being there even if there were at least a hundred others. If it hadn't been for getting to say hello to Nick and a pic with him it probably would have been a better idea to go to the Leadmill.

By the way Jazza, me and Annette were looking out for you but I didn't spot you. Chuffed that you got interviewed!

Just found a photo of the set list on tumblr... Dishes, Lipgloss, Wickerman, Bad Cover Version and Live Bed Show where planned! Dishes and Live Bed Show would have made my life! I take back what I said about not changing a single thing now...

But seriously, have they ever managed to fit every planned song in?

Hey Lauren -sorry I missed you yesterday - I did wave to the seated area where I thought you were though. To know that all those tracks were all on the setlist and got 'knocked off' so to speak is heartbreaking!

We waved back but we both have terrible eye sight and couldn't make out if someone was waving or not - I thought I caught a glimpse of you on the big screen when Jarvis was sticking his camera into the crowd though!

I felt really disappointed when I found out about Dishes and LBS but I'm still on such a post-concert-high I'm over it now :P I just feel incredibly lucky to have been there at all.

Well there we are. It's all over, but won't ever be forgotten. Thanks for everyone at the front of the queue (Jazza, Josh et al) for keeping my girlfriend and I company in the cold and the wind - the time flew by!

Bit concerned about the possibility of being interviewed on this DVD/documentary thing; the guy was asking bizarre questions like what our favourite household chores were (I said Dishes, duh), did we want Babies, and were we wearing Underwear... but I've signed the release form, so it's too late to worry :)

As for the actual gig? Well it was alright... okay, it was EPIC, as Patrick Stewart might say. Sheffield Sex City was the highlight for me, plus the 80s songs and Countdown. Sunrise was excellent too, though towards the end the smoke machine was in overdrive and I couldn't see anything! Brilliant!

I will be honest though, it wasn't a flawless night; I could barely hear the violinist, and a couple of songs didn't sound quite right to my ears (Help The Aged) - or was that just me? - but of course these things didn't really matter in the end, it was an excellent effort and I loved every second.

Oh, and err... is it sad that I've got a roll of Pulp toilet paper?

Weirdest gig souvenir to date... ;)

So they planned to play 28 songs last night?! That's crazy, not surprised it didn't happen though!

Lauren You might have seen me on the big screen if it was just before Jarvis turned the camera back onto himself after going down the front row - He got to the person next to me - I looked a bit frightened (and was thinking damn i wish i'd got my eyebrows shaped) he looked at me, I looked back at him,even more scared and then he pointed the camera towards himself and I started laughing ! So he either read my thoughts or took one look and decided he couldn't inflict my face on the whole arena!

I thought the crowd were surprisingly lovely, at least right at the front. The only annoying thing was a rowdy teenage boy who was singing along SO loudly that I couldn't heard Jarvis. So I moved a bit, only to end up next to ANOTHER loud, out of tune teenager. But it was pretty endearing really! A really good crowd.

Also, one of the moments of the gig for me was during the 'duh-duh-duh' bit in Common People (by that I mean the rhythm behind the "roaches climb the walls" lyric towards the end of the song), looking at everyone in both the seats and standing area and seeing them all punch the air to that rhythm. It just felt really special.

Well, Jarvis did say 'you have to save the best bit till last' when talking about how long it had taken them to reach Sheffield, and they all took a big bow at the end as well.

If I was one of the loud, out of tune teenagers then I apologise.

Eamonn - I was queuing by the red doors (but had a hat on so maybe you didn't recognise me) and decided to skip the Leadmill - Sorry Anet I know we were planning on sharing a taxi back to the Edge!

I also apologise if I was one of those out of tune teenagers.

One thing that really annoyed me was a guy who pushed his way onto the barrier, and then got pissy at me when I told him there was no room (even the security guard told him to step back!), I like to think I successfully pushed him back off during either Bar Italia or Common People

I got no sense of 'farewell' whatsoever from Jarvis's comments or the bow, it just didn't feel like a goodbye to me.

I'm really surprised, after the bow at the end, the 'best till last' comment, the filming of a DVD, the home videos, the length of the gig and Jarvis's recent comments in Q, that people still don't think that this is the end!

The bow sealed it for me, really. Convinced this is it - for at least a few years anyway, though who knows what will have happened by then. Some really good pictures of it actually - makes me feel quite emotional, the end of an era (again!). That said, I'm surprised he didn't come out and say something more direct, but maybe it'd have introduced a sad note and this way, although we all suspect it, the night ended on a positive wave. And maybe there is an element of 'never say never'.

In 2002 it wasn't a case of 'you'll never see us again' and it wasn't this time. I don't think they could ever say definitively 'goodbye', mostly because they still seem to like each other unlike some bands who split for good.

Yeah, exactly. I think we'll see at least some of them again, but I reckon that's it for now
