The performance was boring? Shit what do you want someone to do within the space of 3 minutes - dont forget the whole band might have been suffering from nerves as they hadnt performed under the tv lights like that for over 10 years.......dont be so harsh! Whoever said the song was edited - im afraid your totally wrong - the song was as if it was a "single version" rather than the released version - it sounded fucking amazing live.

It's almost as if your favourite band aren't performing their first single for over a decade on tv for the first time in over a decade. That's not exciting at all. I mean they should have had Diversity on to spice it up, or at least some of Cirque Du Soleil.

Up to 77 now, so it's slowed down, but then again it's after midnight so I'm hoping that's a factor.

Was the song edited by the TV producers, or just performed as a shorter version by the band themselves?

not seen it yet (well it was on screens at work but no sound) but I'm fairly sure the tv guys edited it. they always cut the music short on these things

What does everyone think were the live parts of the performance? Jarvis's vocal was live, of course, and I think Mark's guitar was... but everything else sounded like backing track to me. The syncopated bass, the backing vocals, the 'whoosh' sound before the chorus - all exactly the studio recording. I was hoping they'd play a completely live version!

I agree. I've just watched it for the first time and was thinking 'surely that's just the recording they're miming along to'. Jarvis was deffo singing live and I agree about Mark's guitar but I think the rest was pre-recorded. I hate to say it, but I'm gonna, Jarvis's voice has really suffered in the past 10 years hasn't it. He's now more of a whisperer than a singer sadly.

I would think that's down the the show rather than the band though. I thought Jarvis sounded brilliant, I know his voice suffered from the smoking but I don't agree with the "whisperer" comment, especially after seeing them in Sheffield.

For being the first performance its good. Surely, it must have been nervous. If they continue to play it it will be even better. Nice to hear the respond from the audience.

Leo's acoustic guitar sounded live - a couple of times during the verses he kind of accentuated the strum at the end of the riff, which was a nice, different flourish to the recorded version.

Jarvis' voice...it's an interesting one. After two and a half hours at Sheffield it still sounded amazing but I remember him doing the Songbook programme on Sky Arts a few years ago and it sounded shot at times. Maybe he just needs a lot of warming-up to get into it. He's definitely lost some of his range (he has to shout rather than sing "you can even bring your...baby" during Disco 2000 now) and sounded a bit breathless last night but that could have been down to some nerves.

I reckon he would have been quite nervous filming the songbook thing as well, sitting in a chair and singing to a bloke about a metre away. He sounded a bit tired later on at Sheffield, but who wouldn't after 20 odd songs? I still thought he was amazing, tired or not :), he always gives everything.

I thought he still sounded great at Sheff at the end, that's what I meant. Maybe it takes time for his vocal chords to warm-up.

Sorry I looked like I was arguing with you there, but I wasn't, I was agreeing.

Really enjoyed the performance. The song has grown on me. I actually really enjoyed hearing it live even more I think. Some people who were with me last night who hadn't heard it before were commenting really positively on it on how good it was. Like the lyrics too.

Oh and thanks Will for uploading the Birds in Your Garden performance from Wossy back in 2001. I didn't notice you had uploaded it til today. That's a blast from the past I remember those lonely days feeling like the only 15 year old in the country who listened to Pulp!

I did think that Jarvis had invested in a haircut and beard trim for his big performance on the telly.

Bass, acoustic, synths, drums and vocals all live - Stylophone and beat samples were not.

I think it was great!
Jarvis voice as well, actually I think he is in very good shape. He's almost 50 now.
Saw then in Sao Paulo and Buenos aires and his voice sounded really nice.

Had to laugh at his "train moves" with the arm going round at his side. Closer to Crouch robot dance than fast-track express.

Having been watching some stuff from '91 it's interesting to note that he does that 'train' move quite a lot back then. I've been thinking about Jarvis's stagecraft a bit lately and he throws himself around on stage much more now than he used to in my experience. At the Arena he was bouncing on his tiptoes nearly all the time, it must really take it out of him. Back when I first saw him he was full of that mock serious, deadpan finger waggling/pointing thing with the occasional high kick and star jump. He definitely gives much more on stage now than he did before Pulp went on hiatus in 2002.

Good observation. I think the mid-90s he was as lively as now but the TIH era ushered in a far more restrained style of showmanship. The whole double of Jarvis to do the crowd-pleasing gestures was really a stroke of genius. A pity no quality footage from that time exists.

Were his train moves back in the day linked to lyrics about trains (though what could they be? "I'm gonna show this town who's master as soon as I get off this train"? "Pissed on a train and he's failling around"?) or just general demonstrations of personal/vehicular movement?

I always thought it was as if he was trying to play air guitar, but then realised that that's probably not what a singer should be doing...
