Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but maybe the Chritmas present is an announcement of more show dates for 2013.

Well, that was the best gig I have ever been to. I got to the queue at about 5pm (I was the tall, large guy about 20 people back). It was great to chat to some of the people from the forum. The wait until the doors opened just flew by. We heard them sound-checking, and a few people at the front of the queue would run up to the arena to try and identify the song being sound-checked. We got in pretty much bang on 6.30pm and charged to the front of the standing area. In the end, I was in the second row from the front. Everything in terms of the gig has been covered. The people I was around were all really nice, wonderful atmosphere. Thanks to everyone on here for being such great company during the queuing, and, of course, thanks to Pulp themselves for putting on such a fantastic show!

I know we all have this Christmas card and the exciting prospects it holds but I recorded the concert if anyone wanted it.

 I think I would be happy with this. More so then MP3's or videos.

REPORTER Andrew Trendell went to see Pulps homecoming show in Sheffield.

You know youre missing the X Factor final? jokes Jarvis Cocker as he manoeuvres his spindly frame across a stage strewn with Andrex.

They handed it out in homage to their early days 32 years ago when toilet paper was a low-budget alternative to pyrotechnics and a light show. That all-singing, all-dancing reality show of shallow karaoke is an ugly side of culture thats developed diarrhoea now Pulp are back to hand out the bog roll.

This is proper pop music made in Sheffield.

Sorry it took us so long, says Cocker, but weve saved the best for last.

Not only is tonight Pulps first hometown gig in 10 years, but its their last UK show for the foreseeable future . Straight from the off with Do You Remember The First Time, Pulp are hell-bent on making every moment count.

The sense of occasion is not lost on anyone. Like so, so many comebacks and reformations, tonight ran the risk of falling into a naff pantomime of nostalgia. Instead were treated to a masterful celebration, delivered and received with religious fervour.

Theyve filled that fountain in now, recounts Jarvis in reference to Disco 2000, constantly mapping their impeccable catalogue of hits onto the Sheffield landscape. Pulp couldnt have come from anywhere else and they give the love back around here.

Were treated to a smattering of old school obscurities from Pulps days as unknown freaks in the 80s and early 90s before the disco funk jam of Countdown storms into an epic outing of Babies.

Of course, it just wouldnt be a celebration of all things Sheffield without wheeling out fellow local icon Richard Hawley. The Don of the Don joins his former band for a delightfully menacing rendition of This Is Hardcore and underrated gem Sunrise before reaching the behemoth crescendo of Common People.

Returning for yet more irrepressible banter and a five song encore, youre struck by how many immaculate indie staples this one band are responsible for. How have we lived with them?

As white ticker tape rains down and boozy Northerners sway along to Something Changed, it seems less like Christmas came early and more like they all came at once.

For tonight at least, the Peoples Republic of South Yorkshire feels like the centre of the universe and Pulp are the masters of it. Lets pray weve not seen the last of them.

Erm...what?!

Do you think that the "last UK show for the foreseeable future" comment was just because no more has been announced? (I can clutch at straws if I want to!)

Yeah, that first sentence was a bit dodgy. I think he's just being factually correct with the second. Can't imagine he knows more than us.

I was a little disappointed by the setlist as I was expecting at least one unplayed song
Um.... Born to Cry?

it seems less like Christmas came early and more like they all came at once.

Just one of many lyric/song references in that article is all I thought of that?

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!

 I guess it's just wishful thinking. Saturday was my first time seeing Pulp and I can't bear to think that it might have been the last too!

I've actually got a bad case of post-gig blues at the moment. I had been looking forward to it for so long, had an amazing time and now it's all over and I'm back at work feeling glumcry

Anyone else feel the same?

I know what you're saying.. After my first Pulp gig I was feeling both really sad that it was over and extremely happy and thrilled at the same time (if that makes sense) for weeks!!
This time around the transition to reality has been somewhat smoother..
By the way I thought it would have been the ideal last concert for them, though as other people on here stated I was a little disappointed by the setlist as I was expecting at least one unplayed song, but especially because 18 of the 24 songs were the exact setlist they had played when I first saw them in Athens.
Anyway, thought Jarvis seemed pretty emotional and the others looked really happy to be playing in their hometown, which was expected I suppose but it's nice.

Yeah, but an unplayed song we wanted to hear. smile On a realted note did everyone else see Hawley frantically making those throat slashing 'cut it' gestures from offstage right when Jarvis started introducing the song?

Ah! That's what that was all about! It's a nice song - but would have preferred OU or She's A Lady. If they wanted to play unplayed B-sides then 'Ansaphone' would have been nice. Still I'm not complaining - Pulp sets are usually 10 songs shorter than this.

I'd have preferred Death II or Acrylic Afternoons, but there you go... can't be fussy really.

I must admit, when he said the stuff about playing something they'd never done live before, for a split second, a tiny chunk of my heart thought "Street Lites!" until my head took over and I realised I was being ridiculous (they'd hardly need to draft in Hawley for that, for a start).

I also fleetingly thought, after hearing a few organ-esque notes before Little Girl, that they were possibly going to play Goodnight. I clearly wasn't being too rational on Saturday.

I think Love is Blind would've been amazing to hear- especially since it was rehearsed for the reunion but never played.

Also, don't get your hopes up about the Christmas card thing, there is like a 0.0001% chance it's gonna be new material- they haven't had a chance to record anything for a start, schedule wise! It'll be live MP3s probably, and that's great.

Schedule wise?! They've had weeks sometimes months off at a time!
