Wonder if it will be the same format tonight in Sheffield? If so, I'm pretty excited. I would love to see something like 1!.

Ah yes, interesting. Including this clip where he apologises for their slightly flat performance at Tramlines:  www.facebook.com/reel/1515478629655303/

I wasn't there and would have eaten-up hearing S:SC and Miners Strike live but I can see why a general crowd would struggle with those. It's 15 minutes of music they haven't heard before at a mid-tempo.

 Sex City went down really well as far as I could tell! The crowd seemed into it far beyond barrier.

There was a wobble during Spike Island, though - there was a beat's disconnection going into the first chorus. I didn't think it was flat per se and I hope it hasn't discouraged the band from showcasing more deep cuts though!!

I think regular deep cuts might only be possible if they scale down to small indoor shows. Mark seems keen but the other lad exists to shout and point.

I don't feel half as bad about missing out on Tramlines knowing Mark didn't rate it, so that's something...

As I've said before, I was miles back at Tramlines and thought SSC and Miners were great, didn't feel to me like they fell flat at all.

What a great sign-off!

Did Mark recognise you from gigs way, way, way back in the days of yore where you and he were the only ones bothered about documenting the occasion, Jason ?!

For those who are outside UK. The Pioneer Club uploaded 2 videos, "In Conversation With Pulp's Mark Webber" which was held on Oct. 12.

Part 1: www.youtube.com/watch
Part 2: www.youtube.com/watch

It was fun but a bit disappointed about the videos. Mark is very honest and very approachable. Best bit for me was when he described Russell's flat on Division St.

Sorry if I raised false hope over the videos, I assumed all the dates would follow the same format. Looking at descriptions for the two talks still to happen, it appears there will be videos in Swansea, but probably not at Portsmouth.

In Nottingham the talk took place in a cinema and Mark could play the videos directly from his laptop on to the big screen. Before the first video played he specifically asked the audience not to film on their phones, so I doubt anything will leak out.

I've been thinking what else was said -

I think this has been mentioned here before but at one point Mark mentioned they had rehearsed Have You Seen Her Lately? quite a lot but Jarvis hadn't been persuaded to add it to the setlist. Same for Bad Cover Version which Mark said was his favourite single (and not just because he's on the cover).

Someone asked who his favourite ex-band member is. He thought quite carefully and answered Magnus Doyle. He mentioned Magnus was a bit weird and the host asked whether he was similar to Russell. He then gave a good answer explaining how they were quite different. He mentioned Magnus disappeared after he left the band and they later found out he had gone to India.

I thought the shadow of Russell loomed large over the talk but Mark was at the mercy of a first time host and interviewer. I did ask if we would be hearing the WLL sessions and he promised to ask Jarvis. Captain Sleep got a name check and he talked about that Pulp/non Pulp Saturday afternoon early 87 performance art gig shere Jarvis told the story of the Devil coming to Sheffield.

Was it not Duncan Steer doing the presenting and questioning ? He's done most of them.

 No, it was one of the owners of the small sheffield independent book shop on Crookes who was the interviewer

Damn, no videos shown in Manchester. No real revelations either but it was enjoyable.

Another interview with Mark here. Most interesting to note - the Disco 2000 demo, then called "Gloria", contains the main riff being played on the synth. Dismissed by the band for being too "weedy" until Mark translated it to his guitar, added some distortion and a hit was born... 

Weedy or not, a real shame the DC30 deluxe didn't give us the chance to hear it...

Mark also says that Chris Thomas earns more from sales of Different Class than the band do!

Heh, isn´t it some kind of sophisticated joke from Mark? I mean... Gloria is a 1979 Umberto Tozzi song with the very same riff played on synths!

 

You can compare it here:

Not a joke, the band referred to it as Gloria at the time of the demo session, because of the likeness to the Tozzi song & Laura Brannigan cover.

It probably sounded even more like it on the synth so translating it to the guitar and getting rid of any weediness through distortion was a good move.

Would still love to hear its original studio debut though and see what changed on the final version.
