I wonder will Pulp turn-up on one of the US late-night TV talkshows to promote the album and more importantly, the tour in the hope of shifting more tickets.

Oof, what a fantastic opening setlist for the US tour!

My Sex finally gets its post-album debut. Weirdly, it's only ever been performed live in North America?!

Lipgloss, Help The Aged in the same set for the first time since....ever?!

Oh and no Sunrise! Does that end its unbroken record of being performed at every Pulp gig since its debut?

@Lipglossed, you're the stats person for live Pulp, what say you?

They didn't play "Sunrise" at Glastonbury. Shame really as it is an appropriate song for that setting.

Nice to see "OU", "Lipgloss" and "The Fear" being played.

Yeah, Ian's got it. Glastonbury was the first time it hadn't been played since 1999!

 

Wowzers, lucky yanks, getting Lipgloss and My Sex... two of my big wants for the UK shows! Still I can't complain - I already got Lipgloss at Hogmanay, and this summer I've got Sex City, Miner's Strike, Party Hard, Lyndhurst Grove, and Seconds.

I hope there's more UK shows this year though. They seem to be getting kicks out of the back-catalogue and realising that there's so many songs there that still stand up so well even when the crowd is unfamiliar with them.

OU, Lippy and Aged in the one go are the holy trinity for me - key singles from their respective eras but criminally under-represented by that bad man C0cker's usual choices.

Joyriders in for Lipgloss and Sunrise restored in Washington DC last night.

The lyrics for My Sex seem to be causing trouble for Jarv - the volume, not the content. Apparently there was a false start. There's a vid on YouTube of the performance of it in Atlanta and he repeats some of the words. No harm, still sounded great!


Nick and Candida wore tshirts at the show in DC supporting the city in the face of Trump's use of the army to "restore order".

I noticed on Setlist FM that My Sex had a sub note saying that it had a 'false start'.

I asked a Facebook for details and got the below response:

"That was pretty funny, Before the first start Jarvis talked for a bit about how knew about 90% of the lyrics then preceded to forget the first line so he had to look at someone's phone to find the lyrics, then they nailed it the second go"

Very amusing I thought

I would assume that there is a break-even point which varies with the venue/location.

The band would never share this info with us (quite rightly) but it would be interesting to know how much they make from live performances and if there any where they have made a significant profit/loss over the years.

 

I imagine they made a chunky loss on the gig in Taranto last year. I was there and paid 26 for my ticket, and it was nowhere near full. I expected it be a lean, stripped down gig but it was the full Encore works. I imagine the festival (Medimex) did get some EU/PNRR funding, because there's no chance they made it all back on tickets. And there's no way they'd have chosen to play in... Taranto... without being offered some money up front. Nobody ever really plays south of Rome in Italy, sadly. 90% of international act gigs are in Milan, which might as well be another country.

Happy either way obvs but hoping for more like night one than night two in New York. Lipgloss please, and hopefully Jarvis feels ok about doing My Sex. Are they doing the chanting live?

Not the best quality but it sounds like it was sampled:

So I'm not hearing chanting? The sound quality isn't great but I'm sure there are Xs and Ys in there somewhere.

Ah, sorry, I was listening yesterday with this on in the background while cooking and the chanting didn't seem so prominent.

I could be wrong but it also sounds like Jarvis has mixed up a lot of the lyrics.

Aw, I love the chants! Really lifts that song. Would've loved to hear My Sex live. Just watched that vid there, that's an epic outro.

So last night saw "Slow Jam" played for the first time on this tour and "Monday Morning" towards the end. 

"The Fear", "Monday Morning" and "Help the Aged" played back to back? I don't think I would be able to contain my excitement.

Slightly cut down set in NYC. The support played 45 minutes (why oh why) so Pulp went on at 20:15, with a strict 22:00 curfew. Couple of Yanks around me at the barrier who had seen Setlist FM and were expecting more, or saying they played that in London. Crowd were good, band were great. They played C*nts Are Still Running The World on the PA at 21:55 after they departed. I queued for about 6 hours before to be first in the merch queue, to be told the signed records the band had put on Instagram hadnt been provided, and have spent a fair whack to see the show with the least songs! Dont let me pick your gigs for you.

So last night, "Partial Eclipse" was performed instead of "Farmers Market" and "Razzmatazz" was also performed towards the end.

Good shout to give Partial Eclipse a spin in place of Farmers which I was worried was becoming undroppable. I think the album would have also been better-served with one rather than both on it.

Looking at AcrylicAft's Insta, it looks like there were some nice lighting effects sorted for the long fade-out of Partial which I guess increases its chances of being played again.

Being in North America hasnt provided me many chances to see PULP, so I dont have much to compare to but tonights Toronto show was the best PULP Ive seen (seen them 6 times), if not one of the best concerts overall.

 

They seemed genuinely happy, they sounded fantastic, the setlist was amazing, the crowd was fully into it, and the little variations in the instrumentals were great plus I finally got to hear Seconds live!

 

Hopefully they'll be this good for the rest of the U.S. tour so others get to experience it too.

Amazing!!!

Great to see Seconds back. No Elysians on-tour so Emma and Rich looking after the Russell bits. I think I've said this before but there was an alternate violin part on the His n Hers 1994 tour where Russell plays an arpeggiated bit with an echo - not sure if this was played Iive or pre-treated but it sounds so good. You can hear it on bootlegs from a couple of shows it was performed at in May '94.
Was hoping the 2025 version would include that but alas...still sounds great though.
