I have never rated "She's Dead" as a live song but I think that the Elysians could work wonders with it.

Blimey, there's deep cuts and there's that!

However it does raise the idea of a Pulp gig with a full orchestra (including the blessed Elysians) at the Royal Albert Hall or similar. They have the ballads for it, would the cheekier tunes work so well?

That could be one hell of a setlist; "Wickerman" and "Seductive Barry" would be prime candidates. There are also some other tracks (such as "Live Bed Show" with the extended outro) that could be given the orchestral treatment.

So that's why you were tweeting about heartbreaking Pulp songs....sorry, bud. It's never easy. Hope a Pulp summer cheers you up a bit.

Cheers Eamonn, much appreciated. Ah, it is what it is. At least I get to pair the experience with a brand new Pulp album! Considering how emotional the music's going to be, I do think it'll enhance the experience :)

Cuckoo Song is effing incredible isn't it? Those lyrics oh man how did they not release this? Too personal maybe? I've had it on repeat for days anyway...

 It's 15 minutes walk from my office, but haven't blagged my way into a gig for a long time, and it looks like one of the least-blaggable locations.

 Yeah, you've got a point there bound to be a patrol of steadfast, stentorian security. All the same, though, after Bridlington, I'd do anything to get to a Pulp indoors again... nothing to lose by trying!

 'Happy Endings' would be another...

Slightly off topic but I've got a digital copy of the Eden Project gig somewhere, Pip. Obviously not in 4K but if you want me to upload it somewhere I'm happy to see if I can find it

 That would be wonderful, yes please! (though if it starts with a Sky on-screen EPG flashing up just before the start of the programme, that's my tape!).

 Haha! Yes it is  that one!

I've put it up on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Mo_gWWztBF6MQj-3exE2ONm5xQ7H0s7/view?usp=sharing

 

 

 Thanks to seductivebarry for uploading and thanks to Pip for the original recording. I was at the concert, but I don't think I ever saw the recording - may have still been in Cornwall, or may have been before BBC Choice & Knowledge were available in my area.

It's the last time I ever saw Pulp live, had seen them three times over 12 months, but never since. Quite a downbeat, mellow performance (apart from chucking the monitors off the stage, which I'd forgotten), but lovely to see after all these years. Tried to spot myself in the crowd, was near the front, but just one of many fuzzy delighted heads.

En route to the Big Smoke now for some good old fashioned blagging. Wish me luck!

Just tell the heavy at the door that you're their biographer, who wants to sell the story of Pulp to a new generation of broken biscuits.

We have been told we aren't being let in. It's nearly all guestlist/BBC.

A well-known television comedian walked in arrogantly munching on a pasty spitting crumbs all over the security staff.

 

EDIT: And two well-known MPs now

FFS...really? They should be asked to sing the bridge of Dishes as proof of Pulp.
I know Jarvis ligged a lot back in the day but he had put in the hard yards...

If I were singing Common People I wouldn't want to look out into the audience and see three currently governing MPs singing back the words ...

Nice to see a few of you in the queue. Jeffrey Lewis was the artist I recommended (who is also playing tonight).

 Huh? None of us got tickets, how the heck did you?

 

So, who are the MPs then? I hope Cocaine Socialism makes them stare at their shoes during the encore.

Ah, sorry. Sucks that all these privileged goons can just waltz in. Probably didn't need to queue either, right?

We saw Stella Creasy, Lou Haigh and Rose Blake. They turned up late, at 7:15, and waltzed straight in. Actually Creasy spent several minutes just chatting on her phone first...

Maybe we'll let her off. She did break the news about Pulp making a new album on her manor in Walthamstow, last summer, didn't she? Maybe she is an actual fan.

Setlist has been reported! Debuts for Tina and Grown-Ups" Dishes is back!

www.setlist.fm/setlist/pulp/2025/bbc-radio-theatre-london-england-13590199.html

1. Spike Island
2. Something Changed
3. Tina / Grown Ups
4. Dishes
5. Sorted for E's & Wizz
6. Disco 2000
7. Got to Have Love
8. Do You Remember the First Time?
9. Farmers Market
10. Sunrise
11. Common People
12. A Sunset


Looks so weird/brilliant to have so much new material enmeshed with classics. I wonder why Tina and Grown-Ups are lumped together? Something Changed early always seems off to me. A Sunset looks like it's gonna be a solid full stop on the shows/album.

Also, this ends Babies unbroken run of being performed at every Pulp show going back to....anyone know?

Sorry, does the above need to be in spoilers? I can't get it to work.

Yeah, or Weeds & Weeds II 2023 live version. Tina and Grown-Ups are also positioned like this on the album. Maybe there's a natural segue, there was no pause from the band and they ran into each other and the Setlist.FM person assumed they were two parts of the same song.

Dishes! Yay! One of those Pulp songs that really lends itself to an intimate setting.

Even more surprising than no Babies is no This Is Hardcore. That leaves Sunrise as the only Pulp song to have been performed at every gig since its debut.

BEYOND FUMING at Tina and Grown Ups being debuted like this ... The two I was looking forward to most!

Hope Lipgloss returns as do Pink Glove, Like a Friend, and some surprises. (That seems less likely now though.) Also, Background Noise.
