Looks like Last Day and SSC were played, the former with Hawley. Incredible.

still no Hymn of the North : (

This was certainly the case, as Jarvis took the mick out of a few of the band about the leak :)

Was stood at the front next to this lovely couple who came all the way from Frankfurt for the weekend. I felt Pulp were awesome as per usual tonight and the shock of Last Day Of The Miners Strike live was an eye opener. Just what else have they rehearsed!!!

I wonder if they switched it around a bit due to the leak by Eleysian?

Oh wow, this was a good one. There's a lot to write about, but I'm exhausted still! Definitely a privilege to have been at this one, though.

Did anyone else notice in the lengthy role call of name checks near the end, Russell got a mention? Does that mean he was there somewhere?

I did spot Magnus Doyle (looking very chipper on the way out of John Shuttleworth) and apparently Tim Allcard was on site too!

Watched out for Ruasell all day, and was hoping for a cameo with I Monster for one of Dean's Frogman songs (which was heightened by all the Frogman posters around the outside of the site!) but nothing to be seen.

I assume he was on site. Everyone else thanked by Jarvis seemed feasibly likely to be there. But then again, I didn't see you either. And you've probably aged less since I last saw you than Russell has!

Jarvis mentioned in the Mojo interview that he hadn't spoken to Russell in a few years, but wanted to do so next time he was in Sheffield. So, maybe...

Also, to get my hopes up, there was a second non-Warhol amp just to the side of Mark onstage. But it may have just been another he was using with different settings or something.

Maybe Russell did the PowerPoint presentation for Miners' Strike? Let's pretend he did. He was planning to do a work in progress of his miners strike musical at Tramlines at some point!

I was quite a long way back and largely chairbound, no barrier madness for me. Did bump into Paul Mills just before they came on though which was nice. His first Pulp gig since 1991!

It would be lovely to see Russell make a cameo but I really, really can't see it happening at this point. Then again, as previously noted, I am persistently wrong about this stuff...

From the video circulating, it looks like Jarvis has finally done summat about that straggly head of hair. Let's be honest it weren't the best and I don't think it was just age. He just needed a proper stylist and some colour.

 Oh no! And I was finally congratulating myself as having achieved a Pulp hairstyle after so very many years! 

To be fair, I had long suspected my hair was crap. But seeing it on a stage let me forget that for a while. Trouble is, hairdressers no longer get my cultural references. Last time I asked for a Blonde on Blonde, but left looking more like Noel Edmonds than peak Dylan.

Sounds like a fantastic night for all you lucky Tramliners

Candida's S:SC vocal track sounded pretty loud and isolated from a video clip I've seen! Wonder did they have to go back to the original tapes and take the individual track. I guess AI does a half decent job of isolating tracks and making new "stems" these days...

Were there many kids in attendance. Doyle talking about "other people fcuking" probably should have come with a Parental Advisory sticker upon entering...

Yeah, quite a few kids. There were two little girls just in front of us with their parents having a great time. Did occur to me that SSC wasn't the most appropriate thing to be bopping around on Dad's shoulders to, but in fairness it is, well, a bop. The voiceover didn't seem especially loud from where I was sitting, maybe a placement thing. Loved the intro with Jarvis pretending to guess where everyone on the front row was from. "Norton... Frecheville... Badger... No?" etc.

 I got Catcliffe. Trying not to take it personally.

It was great, I wasn't too near the front (couldn't face being squashed and shoved about as that had been one thing difficult about Manchester) but there were people of all ages getting really into it. Pulp t-shirts everywhere. Some near me even seemed to be singing along to Last Day of the Miners' Strike, particularly 'the North is rising' bit, which was lovely to see. Quite a few filtered off during A Sunset, however (though with the trickiness of so many people leaving the site and huge queues for the trams, I don't 100% blame them).

Obv I'm a huge fan of OU but tbh think Mis-shapes went down far better for the crowd. Was great to get S:SC too. Disappointed no Hymn of the North (and some of my other More favourites like Background Noise though knew not to expect it) but you can't have everything.
