Deep Cuts Setlist

I was just reading about the Pet Shop Boys tour where they are playing only album tracks and B-sides. I also think that someone mentioned it on this forum recently. Whilst it is great that Pulp have been digging into the archives a bit more than they did in 2023 (alongside new material), imagine if they did the same?

So what would your setlist be? The rules are as follows:

  • No singles that entered the charts (so anything from "OU (Gone, Gone)" onwards is not allowed)
  • You are not limited to just album tracks and B-sides, obscurities can be included
  • Side projects / collaborations / Jarvis solo are fine as long as they weren't singles that entered the charts (so for example: "Born to Cry" is allowed but "Walk Like a Panther" isn't)

This is what I would go for:

  1. The Fear
  2. Deep Fried in Kelvin
  3. It's a Dirty World
  4. Live Bed Show (extended as per 1996 or 2002)
  5. Death Comes to Town
  6. Live On
  7. Sheffield: Sex City
  8. Wickerman (with the string section)
  9. Seductive Barry (")
  10. His 'n' Hers (with audience participation)
  11. My Legendary Girlfriend
  12. Have You Seen Her Lately?
  13. Maureen
  14. Glory Days
  15. Ciao! (duet with Miki Berenyi)

Encore

16. Sylvia
17. I Love Life
18. Master of the Universe
19. Being Followed Home
20. There Was

Ok, maybe I have gone a bit too obscure. I could only see about half of that happening in reality. 

Coming up with that setlist was harder than I thought. I kept wanting to put "Party Hard" and "Lipgloss" in there somewhere biggrin

If, in the unlikely event, Russell was involved then I would be tempted to add in a couple of his songs.

Re Pets, it was me. Hopefully will get a ticket next week when they go on sale.

I like a lot of your set, the possibilities are endless really... I've often wondered could they make a film or a show of the "epics" and connect them somehow -

Sheffield: Sex City, Deep Fried In Kelvin, Seductive Barry, Wickerman...

Plus possibly David's Last Summer, Catcliffe Shakedown (for a bit of light relief if nowt else).... is there anything else over 7 minutes? The Loss Adjuster perhaps from solo. We haven't really had one for the More era. Hymn Of The North maybebthe closest...

The danger with these deep cuts setlists is we'll end up with half a dozen 7 minute plus songs in the show! I would dearly lovevto hear Separations, Death Comes to Town, Death II and Countdown.

In addition to the current Pulp massive, including the The Elysian Collective, I would like to invite some special guest performers to my fantasy concert.

The Professional with Chilly Gonzales on the keys
Death II as arranged by Rosegarden Funeral Party
Rattlesnake
The Night as per the 92 Black Session
There Was... with Richard Hawley
Wickerman with Alasdair Malloy on the glass harmonica
Disco 2000 feat. Nick Cave, played in 3/4 (it's the B-side version, it's allowed)
P.T.A.
F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E. the way they played it in 2000-2, with the drum machine
The Boss
Ladies Man as arranged by Air
Le Roi des Fourmis
Live On and finally it's perfect this time
Master of the Universe
This House Is Condemned, with guest vocalist Russell Senior
My First Wife - the Oozing Through the Ozone Layer version
Roadkill with Philip Sheppard on the electric cello
Styloroc
We Can Dance Again
David's Last Summer and everyone in the Elysian Collective has a fire extinguisher
The Day After the Revolution ends the first set and we listen to the chord for 10 minutes before the encore
The Mark of the Devil - imagine Emma on this
Inside Susan A Story in 3 Songs - the whole trilogy, with strings
Miner's Strike deserves another outing
Glory Days with the archive montage to send us home
Cuckoo Song as a surprise bonus encore, it's just Jarvis sitting on the edge of the stage with an acoustic guitar

I'm embarrassed to say I forgot to include "The Professional". I'd have it as the first song (before "The Fear") where Chilly appears on stage and plays a nice extended intro whilst the rest of the band take their positions. I think that there's something quite alluring about the first words to the show being "I'm back in full effect".

I think if they were to play "Cuckoo Song", it would work better as a full band version (including Elysian of course). I have never been a huge fan of bands playing acoustic versions during a set of otherwise full band versions.

In my head I'd want this.

You're Not Blind (Demo) - best guitar in Pulp ever IMO
The Fear - the complete and utter breakdown version ie Park is Mine version so Mark can play guitar hero.
Styloroc (Nites Of Suburbia)
Ansaphone - I used to listen to it alot as a teenager in my bedroom when all I had was TIH, DC, CountDown and Disco 2000 single... 
AF607105 - The Jarvis and Air live version
Sliding Through Life On Charm. Loved this on the MOJO recent CD
Live Bed Show (extended as per 1996 or 2002) - same here
Party Hard - the single version where Candida's keyboards are more un front. This is the song that got me into Pulp back in 98...
Acrylic Afternoons - next 2 songs I want back to back so they can remain in the H'N'H era
She's A Lady
Weeds next 2 songs I want back to back so they can remain in the WLL era
Weeds II (The Origin Of The Species)
Dishes
She's Dead
Your Sister's Clothes
The Mark Of The Devil
Seductive Barry - exactly like the Glastonbury version
"You're in My Eyes (Discosong)"



Encore

Sheffield: Sex City
Ladies Man
The Professional
The Hymn of the North
The Day After The Revolution and we have to wait until Jarvis says bye bye.

 

 

sheeesh I forgot Dishes so had to edit***

I definitely want to see some Relaxed Muscle. Jarvis and Jason in full costume. I always felt that project was his Gorillas.

Otherwise Seconds, Live On, Joyriders, Anorexic Beauty, The Fear, Deep Fried, House Music (from Jarv Is) and Discosong (from solo)
