Not last year?

Looks like they're sticking to the bumper two-sets with a break for ageing bladders like the UK arena tour last summer. Only the best for the antipodeans.

I know its probably not a thing for you all because they are your fellow country folk but they are here in Brisbane - where i live. Its very special - this is a dream that is coming true. Even though I did see them in 2011 a few times I didnt think this would happen again. I cant articulate it properly - apart from feeling like I'm on a swing or rollercoaster and you know how you have to take that big intake of air and your stomach has to catch up! Thats how I kinda feel. Its magic and its bonkers and surreal. I said to my better half just get Brisbane out of the way and then maybe I can relax a little. Just enjoy it.

Also I put the hard yards in this morning. Been into the city - looking looking. Then I head back over the bridge and near State Library who do I find... Yes Jarvis. Just wandering around the cultural precinct. Had a small chat about stuff re: Adelaide, the water dragons, meeting him many years ago at the Leonard Cohen thing at the Opera House - he said that he had his son with him and he wasnt walking yet and classic me - I told him how the venue they're playing tomorrow kind of smells because its near the mangroves....Then I said look I do have some things in my bag because I'm a big fan and he signed my TIH CD booklet, Spike Island 7" and Help The Aged 7". Not sure why those things - I had some other stuff. I suppose it was what I could fit in my fjallraven bag. It was a magic moment. I saw him a bit after while i was eating my apple and people are just wandering past him. I'm thinking you're walking past an icon!!! He said they had played in NZ and I said yes the vibe on the internet is good re: NZ gig. He laughed at that. I also got a photo. Both with our hats on. I did also say I had Mark's book in my bag and he said he is around but didn't see him.

I had to sit down and I started giggling like a mad lady to myself. I had been so nervous and twitchy - and this has happened and I feel like its all gone. He made someone super happy today.

yes Weener see you in Sydney. Also I have some bad news about the patches. So on Thursday last week I emailed them and I said I put in this order and I was wondering if you could tell me when I should expect them. They get back to me and say first or second week of March. I said thats to later - I placed an order with you because you said 14 days turn around. I told them if they hadnt started production I wanted a refund. They hadnt started production so I am getting refund. I was so upset. I had a **** day at work and then that. I am going to try and get the design made into stickers - so i can at least have them from Sydney.

It really annoyed me because they made out they manufactured locally so I was like - great - but looks like they get it done overseas and then ship to Australia.

yes see you in Sydney. Its going to warm. And the stage at the forecourt is not under any shade so bring sunscreen and a hat. Seriously - it blinds you down there the light because it bounces off the concrete!

I can't believe you bumped into Jarvis. After all your prep and preamble! It was written in the stars.

i know !!! but Brisbane is not that big. People visiting generally do the same stuff. Look at the river, visit the gallery and I see some of the band-gang like Emma and Adam went to Lone Pine which is a koala sanctuary. I just had to think like a tourist...

Listening to their soundcheck and they were playing most of the set including Seconds, The Fear, Begging for Change with multiple run through. And then they played the ABBA cover from a few weeks back. I was in the loo listening to a crystal clear soundcheck. Astonishing.

Folks it started raining during Common People. Felt just like it was straight out of a movie. I think Ol' Jarv is right, this is a night I will remember for the rest of my life.

 

Not sure why the images are coming in upside down. Something something down under I guess

It's great to see that "The Fear" is still featuring and nice to have "Underwear" back. It's just a shame that there isn't a bit more variation in the setlist. Suede played 70 different songs in less than a month this year and I'd say that Pulp's back catalogue is similarly sized so they could do the same. Songs like "Party Hard", "Have You Seen Her Lately?" and "Live Bed Show" would be amazing.

Suede are a tight 5-piece band, they all know the songs backwards, three of them having been in the band for 35 years, the other two for approx 30. They tour a lot more than Pulp and are probably more open to setlist changes to keep things fresh for themselves as much as anything. 

Pulp is a more selective thing and a much larger collective, over half of whom have only come onboard since 2023. Also, as impressive as Swayed are, even now (saw them in Brighton at the weekend and the energy from Anderson in particular was incredibly impressive), Jarvis likes his between song-chat which eats into more time than the average act. And sub-3.5 min songs are a minority in their catalogue. A Pulp concert is more of a performance than a rock gig.

That said, Pulp did try out a heap of songs in rehearsals last year and The Day Before You Came & Seconds were sound-checked, in Brisbane apparently.

I keep checking back for cutcopy's review! I hope you had an incredible time. Even the soundcheck sounded magical.

Apparently so. They also apparently gave the entire discography a run through prior to the 2011 reunion. Not sure what they have been rehearsing this time though.
