Hope the mix gets fixed in post! But was amazing, am riffing on a dodgy VPN while working in Bologna. Had at least three people text me and tell me they were on, Pulp are reaching the masses!
Currently showing a re-run on BBC2. Recordable on TIVO/HDD.
Recording in 1080i :)
Also managed to grab a direct copy of the livestream from iPlayer, so my shonky impromptu screening recording can get in the bin.
Nice. I missed the start of Sorted as I was recording football and had to stop and start the recording on HDD (as I can only make one recording at a time). I think I have it on cable box, but I am going to wait and see. Very impressed the BBC are showing the whole set again. Worth the licence fee on its own.

We danced so hard at home that we broke a glass when an ornament fell on it! Amazing stuff. Our 10 year old was so into it (although he has seen the real thing twice). What a setlist! I was so wrong! Couldn't believe OU and then Acrylic. Wow.
Richard's setlist, glimpsed briefly, suggested Sunset was going to be last l. If Jarvis hadn't rambled on so much :)
Something Changed came off beautifully. As did Mark and Jarvis doing their MisShapes dance.

Yeah, the BBC have done us proud for Pulp this year. Looks like we're getting the whole set on BBC Two which is an unexpected bonus.

Oh, and the opening. Brilliant. Totally threw me. I thought I'd got it wrong! Has Sorted ever opened a set before??
Amazing I had to babysit so I had to yap over explicit parts and pretend we were having a disco so I could watch the whole thing. So worth it. So much fun. Kids still react to Common People like they did 30 years ago!!! Have taught a few Jarv moves to a new generation and they happily sang with the yeah yeah yeah parts of OU and Babies. The red arrows moment. Perfecto. Ah, so happy for Pulp and for us to have em back. What a year eh.

That looked amazing, think they got the set just right - all the crowd pleasers, new stuff, well-received older stuff. Should have been much higher up the bill, and loads of people are saying it (not just us).
The live streams have all been really ropey from most acts, missing b/vocals etc., but its the same every year with BBC / Glasto - then seem to improve when edited for sets / TV broadcast, which backfill onto the iplayer. Pulp sounded much worse on the BBC than they did in mobile phone recordings from their own tour, hope it sounds much better when I re-watch.
Candida and Nick looked particularly foxy today - must be very fit from the live dates.
Great to see Pulp's confidence, playing OU and AA to a general audience - and why not, OU is such and belter live. The crowd O / U gimmick worked nicely too.
Yep, as above, spotted Rich there with Beth Gibbons also.
If this performance wasnt enough for pulp to stop by a while longer....than nothing will. That crowd was just going bonkers. So many people are saying that Pulp have been the highlight of the festival thus far, and its criminal that they only got an hour or so. Setlist wise, I think they would have been better with Pink Glove over Acrylic however it still went down well.
Im still pinching myself that we have been given this oppotunity to love and enjoy not only the new album, but a completely recharged and upgraded in my opinion Pulp.
Not really much of a student of these things, but rewatching the set this morning I see that Jarvis is playing Babies on the guitar given to him by his mothers German boyfriend - the first electric he ever owned and used to play along to Peel session with in his bedroom. Is that often the case?

also, did I just hear that the SH*Tstains and grease will come out in the bath!? I know theres been commentary on the change from Knew to Thought in D2000, but this one is new to me
Yes, he's been potty-mouthed about that lyric all tour.
Parr of me worries that Pulp might decide this is the Peak Part II and the best way to sign-off, (after all remaining touring engagements for More are done). Really hope not.
