Eamonn, I will have a look when I get chance. I am sure that I have it saved somewhere.
I can't say I'm too enthusiastic about the reunion (pension booster). I don't fancy paying a fortune to travel across the country to see a hits set which I've seen several times before. If they did something like The Divine Comedy did in September (two full albums per night) or had new material to play, like Suede who I'm going to see in March, then I'd probably feel more inclined to make the effort.
I think they said that last time but apart from performing the odd rarity, releasing "After You" and the documentary (which was great first time round, but I've only watched it a couple of times since), we didn't get anything else other than hits-heavy sets. When I listen to some of the recordings from the last reunion, I find myself skipping certain tracks because they've been done to death.
I was listening to Blur's B-side set from 1999 the other day. Granted, I don't agree with all of the choices but for a band with as many B-sides as Blur, it's the thought that counts (and they performed "Young and Lovely" which, for me, would be worth the ticket price alone). It would be great if Pulp could do something like that. Imagine "Deep Fried in Kelvin" and "The Professional" live? I'd be the first to buy a ticket.
Also, I think that someone mentioned a Fire-era set on another thread. Selling a couple of thousand tickets for a small venue is not too much to ask and there were some songs from this era, such as "Master of the Universe" and "Mark of the Devil" that work a lot better live.
Here's to hoping that there's a new album in the works...

This would be really cool.
I remember reading last time around towards the end, Jarvis mentioned a couple of times in interviews that if they were to come together again and carry on that they would have to jam on some new material or come out with some new songs, however that was 10 years ago now, so I highly doubt that's still a concern.
