I believe Jarvis was shouting 'hard' repeatedly, not 'Mark'!

Re: Reading, that footage belongs to the BBC and if any appears on a DVD, the band would have to contact and possibly pay the BBC for it. Something similar happened with Muse's Absolution Tour, the BBC wouldn't release the footage of Citizen Erased and Stockholm Syndrome from Glastonbury to the band, and thus both tracks were left out of the gig video (however, a different performance of Stockholm was put in the extras)

Well, for a kickoff the rights to inlcude White Christmas in the DVD would be an interesting thing and also Jarvis fell over during one song. It was towards the end of the gig but I can't remember which song it was.

Was that in FEELING CALLED LOVE when he was lying down singing 'And they make me have to sit down and catch my breath' and then when it came to the chorus he (ungracefully) rolled off the speakers

No he was coming back down from the raised bit where the big drum is stumbled a bit then fell headlong next to the two monitors he stands on. That Liam bloke ran straight out to pick him up.

The fall was during Common People...

I think he also made an error (or nearly did) on Monday Morning (not stomach in, chest out) and had to quickly check the words at the front of the stage. It was early on.

Yeah he said the "On your marks..but first stomach in, chest out" - I don't think he had to check the lyrics he just realised he was getting ahead of himself. Anyway I quite like it when there are little slip ups like that - It the gig more unique

 No, it was a smaller one before..

 

I'm not knocking him btw, Jarvis (and the whole band + ensemble) were immense!

Were you there, Mark? Curious to know your and other forum behemoths like Steve and Will's thoughts on the night.

The reference to MP3s has vanished

 It is still linking to a MP3 site.  If you enter the link "http://pulpxmasgift.co.uk/" it will redirct you to the main page, but if you add "/ followed by anything, still shows music downloads. So its safe to say it is a MP3 download.

Whatever it is it's a pretty lovely gesture in my opinion. As someone mentioned in another thread Pulp have undertaken this two year reunion without trying to flog any product apart from themselves (unlike Blur) and what do they do to cap it all off; they give us a free gift! They've always been a band that likes to give something back. Even if it does turn out to be a glorified rpomotion for a live DVD.

Has anyone tried the ol' trick of changing their computer time and date to the 25th at midnight and seeing if anything comes up?

Edit: Just tried it, no dice.

If it was mp3 files from the Sheffield gig along with a promo ad or two for a "Coming in 2013 - Live DVD and Reissues Compilation" I would be very happy.

If the world ends today we'll never find out what the present is. Wouldn't that be the ultimate tragedy?

Perhaps Pulp will still exist in the afterworld. They will be the soundtrack to heaven. I could see Jarvis being God's lieutenant.

 I can see merits to this being the last night on earth.
