Holsen Pils Gig 1996

Looking at the live wiki, I was reminded of the August, Spanish Holsten Pils corporate gig. 500 media folk, and 500 prize-winners. Pulp and Leftfield. Russell's last Pulp concert for 15 years. I've googled and dug and found this lot from the night. There's more than this that you can find by searching on Getty. Unbelievably, one of the people they flew out there was the cop that arrested Jarvis at the Brits. There's a photo of him at the concert, and you can see Russell over his shoulder.

 

Anyway, what the *hell* is going on with this lineup? Two drummers? About eight guitarists?!

Steve, who had been flown to Spain by the party's organisers, said "Believe it or not, I'm huge fan of Jarvis's music".

The concert is organised by Holsten Pils to celebrate the re-launch of their beer (Photo by John Ferguson/Mirrorpix via Getty Images)

Really good write-up of the whole thing here:

 Definitely not Albarn. Looks like one of Menswe@r tbh. 

From left we've got:

Russell in light blue jacket, white shirt, usual hair. Guitar and violin.

Someone with short, punky blonde (dyed?) hair, blue dress, long grey socks on bass.

Dark jacket, school hair, white chinos and Grandad suede shoes on a white and red guitar (not one of Pulp's usual types)?

Nick on drums.

Jarvis on vocals in purple.

Guy in black with white trainers on tambourine.

Mark looking very small in a white shirt, black trousers and the big, red guitar.

Guy in plaid green/blue checked shirt, dark trousers. Guitar? Certainly a red one anyway.

Steve in black on a black bass.

Another drummer with big, flailing hands. White t-short.

Someone else in plaid. Green trousers. Check shirt. Glasses.

Could Pablo Cook be one of the percussionists? From da PWiki, it seems he left after the Arena tour that spring but maybe he returned for the wizz and free lager...

 Very possible and probable!

Is one of these the last photo of Russell as a member of Pulp?

More likely this from Dec 96:

The pics must be from Common People, I think at the festival dates that year they did something similar with zillions of extra guitarists.

Nick looks like a baby there!

Danny Goffey, Supergrass drummer, has said he played Common People on guitar on-stage with Pulp as one of those extras but i can't remember which gig (and neither can he, given a certain penchant for mayhem).

 I went looking because I was interested to see if one would obviously be the last photo of Russell with Pulp. And then found a can of worms of extra folk!

Yes, I assume the one of Nick and Russell would be The Last. And takes places after the 'abortive album session' where Northern Souls was brought out. 

 

Potentially, as Sturdy says, all of those more manic Barcelona photos are of Common People. Russell is violining in all the shots. It would make sense for any press to be taking photos of the biggest song, the biggest party atmosphere etc.

I wonder how many promo and private parties Pulp played down the years. Off the top, I can think of Oxford Uni ('93), Central St Martins ('12) PlayStation ('98) and Holsten ('96).

What about undocumented, secret ones....for rich folk in their back gardens? That architect from Lyndhurst Grove etc.

 Should have been specific! I think we all meant 'first time around'.

I didn't think Russell played any of the 2012 gigs at all, although he was offered them - even the final Sheffield Arena date that December. Happy to be corrected though!

Didn't they play at the aftershow party for the Premier of "Pulp Fiction"?
