The one on Sunday is the Jo Wiley one but with two extra songs.

 What was the one that was in b&w then? It was a completely different concert. Did the BBC commission two Pulp live concert sessions to be broadcast at the same time? It's great, but very odd and confusing!

There were two: a quieter set, broadcast in black and white and later that day (iirc) a ballot/invitational concert, which is the colour broadcast.

It's quite amusing watching Jason and Adam doing their thing at the back. Buckle has the air of the naughty lad in class who has been made stay back and do music club but couldn't give two fcuks about it. While Bettsy, in contrast, is like a dog with two dicks, grinning his way through each number.

I do wonder about Adam's involvement. I mean, Nick seems to have pretty good control over the percussive element to Pulps sound. I know Adam is an auxiliary member and almost as versatile as Emma and Richard - he's got an acoustic guitar, egg-shaker, drum-pads and probably a synth close at hand.

But is he there as much for the fact that he's a likeable fella? He wasn't available for the live shows in 2024 as far as I remember and is not as essential to the live sound as anyone else. Curious as to the rationale and how he and Nick work together. And indeed whether he got to play any drums on the album at all.

Was the audience even knowing who they were ? WTF... Jarvis seemed very annoyed by the lack of reaction here, and its understandable. 

Got to Have Love sounds way better live i gotta say, punchier, they kinda lost that energy on the record. It sounds more Pulp on this live version, actually like Pulp. Wheareas on the record it sounds a bit like Pulp and a collab.

Tina i was not too much into it so i cut it short to hear the studio take first.

Love that they played We Are the boyz ! one of my fav.

But Tina is tantalising and teasing! Plus, you love Hannon, don't you? So you'll like this.

Got To Have Love sounds absolutely ferocious on this recording, I agree, it's the best I've heard it. And Jarvis really goes for the spoken-word bit with the conviction required. It's a pity they didn't play it on Jools Holland.

The same stage, different gigs. One with no audience for 6Music. One for privileged bastards, Radio 2.

 Don't beat about the bush there, Eamonn I wondered why they were laughing at the opening line ti Dishes almost like they hadn't heard it before...maybe they hadn't ever heard it before...

Watching this for the first time tonight, you are all correct about the rubbish audience, BBC really screwed us all over here.

It's the band I feel sorry for. Sunrise goes OFF and they're all just stood there FFS.

A Sunset was quite lovely. The album is shaping-up to be quite pleasant - for Pulp! I'm glad Tina has a bit of frustration and playfulness to it. Maybe Grown-Ups will have some grit in it.

JC did say that the one unfinished song in the album sessions was quite angry-sounding but it didn't suit the rest of the record and that maybe he would revisit it as there is plenty in the world to be angry about. It would be some achievement if they followed More up with a fast and furious album.

That didn't spoil it for me exactly, but I did smile at Jarvis's "wherever you've all come from..." comment. Broadcasting House mainly!

Did you complain to the Beeb in the end Weej?

This is Hardcore still sounds like the best song they have ever done. And the best song anyone has ever done.

What a piece.

 

those shadow on the wall and Black and White images, great set up. Too bad they forgot to invite an audience over biggrin

Who was the extra guy at the back next to Adam, with the specs and the beard?

Did they really need to add MORE band members ? Feels like its a crowded stage a bit, doesn't it ? Do they really need that much people ?

I dunno, adds more layers and noise I think? I'm not opposed to it, think that means they're putting the money into the show rather than pocketing it like other bands might do, which I'm hopeful of!

The non-Pulp musicians all appear to be multi-disciplined, can play at least two instruments and in many cases more than that. So they all earn their stripes. Adam is perhaps the most expendable but he's still adding something different to each song.

Jarvis wants it to look like a proper show like he always did from the days of toilet roll and coloured liquids festooning the stage. I'm glad that they want to sound as good as possible too.

Also in his book, Mark mentions how they were always strong at overdubbing and layering songs in the studio. To get some of that flavour live, the four of Pulp including a keyboard player with compromised hands and a bassist replacement for Steve wouldn't be enough.

I'll wait until i hear the band live for real since tv broadcast are often misleading. But i'd say a couple members less would not hurt. Maybe Jarvis planned a Jarv Is tour before reuniting Pulp and kept his word to bring them on tour no matter what ?

the strings section is the best addition i'd say, sounds like we're gonna get a very symphonic tour. Cant wait to hear Hymn of the North that way.
