Well everyone who were i the seats near me never turned up so I just stuck the recording equipment on a seat next to me and dnaced away. Know what you mean about the sound, but hopefully it's just a taster until the official release.
It's brilliant that you recorded and uploaded this, thanks!
I have been communicating with someone close to the band recently, and he has been replying to my questions...... HOWEVER he didnt reply to this question, and deleted the pm......
"Do you think we have seen the end of Pulp after their fantastic homecoming"..........
I guess what I'm feeling is; I'd be happy either way. As I see it there's two possible responses to the massive show they've just played. One is relief at a job well done and full stop and the other is a feeling of 'you know, we haven't finished with this'. It'll take time for either of those feelings to crystallise in the collective Pulp mind. Let them have their time to think and either way what's good for them is good for us. I know some of you who are fairly new fans may not feel this way but some others it's been a long time and for the band even longer.
On one hand it'd be such a shame for them to end it here - they've been brilliant in these live shows and shown what a brilliant band they are in front of many crowds, and the little new bits they've added into older songs have also been encouraging for potential new material, if there were to be any. However, there is also a part of me which says 'don't ruin the legacy'. Granted, WLL wasn't a miraculous success but I feel it's an excellent way of ending their career studio-wise. Hopefully there'll be a new JC album at some point in the future though!
Felt like the end for now at least to me. Here's hoping I'm wrong though! I was actually pleased to hear Born to Cry played as I love that song. She's a Lady or My Legendary Girlfriend would have been welcome too whilst Happy Endings would have rounded it off perfectly at the end. Still, that is nitpicking, all in all another great gig and if it is to be the last we see of them for a while they have certainly gone out on a high note.
I was stuck up in the seats for this one but still enjoyed it immensely. I looked for you and other familiar faces at the Leadmill afterwards but didn't realise you were off partying with the band! You missed out on a free Jarvis face mask though!

Seriously clutching at straws here.
Dixie999 is always pretty well informed if i remember well. This is intriguing.
Nah, not really. Just managed to blag an aftershow wristband and saw Pulp members socialise (separately) while I meekly stood at the edge of the room with two other gatecrashers. Met Nick briefly and got my pic taken with him (posted earlier on this thread). Warhol Webber was in close proximity too but difficult to get on his own and didn't want to bug him but annoyed with myself that I didn't approach him.

I'm guessing you didn't see Russell mooching around backstage then?
There are three different recordings of this in circulation now! The one shared by Violin Thing on here (thanks!) and two others on Dime.
On Dime someone's also dug out their recording of Pulp supporting Oasis at Sheffield Arena in April 95. Nice to hear that one - it sounds like they got a very warm reception considering they were appearing as an unannounced support band.
My mate went to that Oasis gig and was overjoyed to see Pulp, something which he never let me forget as I had rather sniffily refused to go and see them that night. I went to the Leadmill that night to see another band but I can't remember whom it was. He told me Jarvis was on fine form that night crawling under the drum riser during Acrylic Afternoons. Any chance of a share of that April '95 show?

No, our eyes were peeled but sadly we couldn't spot him. Ralph Razor did appear to be there, all suited and booted but no sign of his client.
Not wishing to be seen as a neasayer but I would be amazed, but nevertheless delighted, if that musical ever gets finished. However, I do see Mr. Razor around town on a very regular basis.
