PULP - Warrington - 28 May 2023 [SPOILERS]

I remember the Sheffield gig after the last reunion - and I felt oh so underwhelmed by the performance, the lack of production etc. It was as if it literally was a cash in.

This time round ? Absolutely the opposite - the production of the backdrops were fantastic, the tightness in the band with the orchestra was very professional, Jarvis clearly having some vocal training, also the new Amps used with neon edging to go with Nicks new drum kit. Some money has been spent ... However all that just for a reunion?

I just can't help but feel there's alot more to come.

Bootleg Beatles were brilliant ! Gang of Youths too :)

Aww diddums, the press got pissed off.... I have zero sympathy for the press in this country - the can shove it up my ass.

There was someone in the sound box taking official looking photos, so I guess they will be used for something special ?

Pulp seem to be getting protected by their management if they recinded press passes. There's reasons for everything, and I'm now convinced that something HUGE is happening, hence the gaps between gigs.

 Wasn't there no TV footage of anything last time around as they had an exclusive deal with Reading and Leeds? Could be something dull like that.

Hmm...maybe it's respecting Steve and an acknowledgement that it's most of Pulp plus other musicians.

 

Don't know. But did just see this discussion :

Apparently something occurred at a Jarv Is gig where he got pissed off by a couple photographers and perhaps triggered the lack of photographers now?

Maybe it's to do with the horrendous press coverage of Steve's funeral? Could understand why that might have turned Jarvis against photographers, they snapped him grieving and put it in an article about Peter Crouch and Abby Clancey.

Very sound theory!!

 

And that was disgusting what the press did. Tasteless.

The sort of photographers that pap at funerals and the kind that do the press pit at gigs are very very very different types of people - Pulp and Pulp's management would be aware of this.

So I don't think it has anything to do with the twats at the funeral - no way in a million years would these paps do a press pit, or be invited to one.

True, too. Hmm, then what other plausible theory could it be? Band-chosen insider photography/filming for a big future release project, maybe?

Bit of a delayed response on this thread, but I saw Pulp at Warrington and they were great- It was a bit emotional for me when Jarvis was talking about Steve- there was a pause when he was talking about him and I could sense the sadness, but the whole show was great, blew everyone away really who had performed during the day- i was happily surprised about them performing Weeds II and the performances of Like a friend and Sunrise in particular for me where epic, both musically and visually Im more than happy about Pulp getting back together for these shows, but something does feel different than last time- and it has nothing to do with the passing of Steve- Maybe im looking a bit too deeply into it and its simply a few shows this year and thats that- but the effort gone into these performances from the video sequences of fresh assets on the screens and back drop- the inclusion of a string section- the amount of extra musicians from Jarv Is, the amount of merch, just seems a lot if we are just going to get a few shows and nothing else- im not complaining either, but im suspicious and curious of whats next- obviously id love fresh material and with all the effort gone in, I wouldnt be surprised if something did happen, but as you all know being a Pulp fan- theres a lot of waiting and they never do what you expect them to do and in some cases want them to do- thoughts anyone?

Has someone been counting up the number of Pulp live shows they've ever put on?! Seems a strange fact (or maybe a joke as to their longevity?) to toss into a review of all the main acts at Warrington..


(From Manchester Evening News):


Finally, the moment that the huge crowd has been waiting as Pulp arrive from behind the red curtain for their 524th concert. I Spy fills the air as Jarvis Cocker and bandmates make a suitably dramatic entrance, captivating the entire stage with their theatrical spectacle

Yes. It was written up in the pre-gig presentation. Alongside all of the "this is real" stuff.

And yes, the number correlates with what's on the wiki. So it's not accurate :)
