Was looking at this setlist tonight... http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pulp/1992/sussex-university-brighton-england-13de6de9.html
Had no idea that they played The Mark Of The Devil as late as 1992! Also, is the "Nights Of Suburbia" listed here the original version or the "Styloroc" one?
Any recordings around?
Had never noticed that either. It was Styloroc though, not the original. The Pulpwiki entry has far more info on the night. Never mind that setlist fm upstart.
Strange to think they were playing something as old as Mark of the Devil when their managers for the next two decades were watching-on for the first time.
Bit odd yeah, but I guess that particular track is one of the more (dare I say) danceable of the 84/85 era! Would be very interested to hear how a 1992 rendition of it sounded though.
It's a weird one that. Not seen any suggestion that they played it at any other gig around that time, or indeed at any point since 1986! If it had just been mentioned in one of the two press reviews of that gig I'd probably be inclined to write it off as a mistake (maybe one of the reviewers hearing another violin-based song and mistaking it for something they'd heard a few years before on a Fire 12"), but they both mention it. Would be great if a tape surfaced.

Ive been looking for a copy of this show for some time but to no avail. As Mr. Sturdy points out surely 2 separate reviewers can't have got their wires crossed with a different song? maybe the management team had a particular liking for devil?
