OU really should be a staple. It's fun, immediate (even those who don't know it dance along at the outro wig-out) and it's not too long.

Agreed and I particularly like the way they segued the outro into the intro of "Lipgloss" in 1994 (see "Fiction Romance" etc). 

Lads, these are arena gigs. For the knuckle-heads that earn good money and remember two Pulp hits.

Kelvin and Blue Girls...they wouldn't even play those to a living room of Bar Italians. Grateful for Secs and Acrylic.

 Lipgloss is the one that really should be a staple especially as it's one of the more well-known Pulp songs. Mystifying it doesn't get more plays...

OU is great, though, and also welcome although if I can't have Lipgloss, I'm taking Monday Morning over OU.

Mis-Shapes, Sorted, Something Changed all great and all but do we really need all three, or even two? I say rotate between Sorted and Something Changed at the very least, there's enough slower ones on the new album. Same with Underwear and FEELING: I adore them both, but they've been played a lot. Time to shake things up?

In their stead, give us a proper dollop of His 'N' Hers/Intro material - Lippy, Glove, Acrylic, Seconds -  obligatory Hardcore and Sunrise, Common People, First Time, and Disco 2000, and seven/eight new tracks. Any table scraps from Separations or TIH are also gratefully received. How I'd adore the longer spoken-word ones... (and agree with Ste about Your Sister's Clothes!)

Fair point. Jarvis has clearly relented on opening up the catalogue which we probably have Mark and Nick to be thankful for. Just don't want folk to be disappointed with outlandish dreams!

Yeah, I was thinking of Kelvin, Blue Girls and Filthy World.

I do think it's a bit different when you're touring an album - these songs are going to be new to everyone anyway. Might as well play some hidden gems while you're at it!

Lipgloss, OU and Seconds would be my three big hopes, as well as plenty of More. I don't mind what gets culled, so long as Feelingcalledlove is always there.

She's A Lady would more than cover the job done by Pink Glove. Let Emma fly with her fiddle.

Was amazing to hear Seconds the other day.
Eamonn, I'll PM you on my number so if you're still on for Bewleys at 4pm you can send me a WhatsApp or text closer the time. My mam will probably go off browsing around the city but be nice to finally have a chat!
Says doors at 6.30pm which sounds very early. I actually do want to get up close enough as I've always been a good bit away. Having said that I probably won't venture in till after 7. What time do people reckon Pulp will be on stage? It's usually around 9pm isn't it.
Lisa O Neill is playing support in Dublin. Can't say I know any of her stuff. Must have a listen before it.
Hoping for some hits as well as new songs and some random ones. Can't wait to see the set up. I thought the whole production was fantastic in 2023. They really surpassed themselves. Cannot wait.

Id love it if they just sprinkled a couple of really random unexpected ones in each night.

Imagine out of nowhere - The Babysitter.

Didnt they play Anorexic Beauty at Sheff Octagon around 2002? It was the time they ditched Common People too

David's Last Summer is my great white whale.
