They've never, ever, flaunted His 'N' Hers enough. Their best album, and they treat it a bit like it's minor Pulp pop juvenilia and that everything started with Different Class. So I'm delighted to see Lipgloss, Joyriders, Acrylic Afternoons, and Seconds all being played in North America.

I think there should always be 4-6 songs from His 'N' Hers and Intro, taken together, played every night. Babies & DYRTFT? will always be played, but there should be more too. Otherwise you aren't getting the full Pulp experience. Different Class is the 'iconic pop breakthrough', This Is Hardcore is the 'artistic masterpiece', etc, and they're both great records, but His 'N' Hers is even better, so, erm, yah booh sucks with a raspberry on top, I suppose. But they should be prouder of it!

Nick said they'd rehearsed both Have You Seen Her Lately? and She's A Lady all the way back in 2023! So, erm, can we have those, please? Also My Legendary Girlfriend, which we know for a fact they've also rehearsed. His 'n' Hers would give Jarvis some fun, too...

Not my first time but the first time in 13 years! Show was a blast, too tired to say much more. Bob Dylan is in town with Farm Aid and Jarvis regaled us with things he was going to say to Bob Dylan if he ran into him, including a story about falling on his his ass in a Trader Joes because his shoes were wet. I wasnt expected the pics of them when they were younger playing in the background and Ill admit I cried lol. Perfect band as always

Cool. How did you manage to rip the other one with the live session?

@Tricia - glad you had a great time. Looking at the setlist, Grown-Ups made its US debut (i guess the radio session was a hint) as a sub for Slow Jam and Partial Eclipse came in for Farmers Market. In the encore, Joyriders was played.

Weird that the first two songs of More to be performed Iive and make us think a new album could possibly, incredibly, (surely not?) be on the cards - Hymn Of The North and Background Noise, have barely been heard live since their initial debuts in 2023.

I kind of understand it with Hymn, it's quite an ambitious ballad and probably needs more rehearsal time than most songs (and the string section) but it is a shame.

While I think Background Noise has the most immediate chorus on the record and might have been a single. Really surprised that's been dropped.

Maybe they're holding one of these back for the Mercury's ceremony...

Of course Tina has been a single and that's not been played at all in the US. I guess Pulp just have too many goddamn songs and choices to make. Swapping three or so in and out is probably fair enough - they're a 9-piece so it's more to coordinate. And back in the day, they werent any less conservative with setlist changes mid-tour, were they? One or two on rotation more or less.

Man Comes Around - listed on setlist from last night but not played. New song perhaps?

 You meant Dyrtft? It is "Do You Remember The First Time." They always use DYRTFT on their setlist. I wish they have new songs too.

 Nah, setlist said

Lipgloss/Man Comes Around

Mysterious 

The wiki says "'Man Comes Around' appeared on the printed setlist as an alternative to Lipgloss. It is uncertain whether this is a new song or a Johnny Cash cover."

Can you really see them playing a Johnny Cash cover between "The Fear" and "Help the Aged"? Me neither.

One possible explanation is that they have finished the untitled instrumental that was recorded during the "More" sessions and this is the title.
