Whereas I'm gonna keep it roughly the length of the Finsbury Park set, y'know, add a little realism! (-:

How's that then?

If it was a dream set, then they should play for over three hours with no support, especially when you consider that Pulp have about a dozen albums worth of material.  With the set list I chose, I have heard them play all those live bar Countdown & MLG. So in theory, I could make up most of the gig for an MP3 player (there's a not so clever idea, as I know what I'll do now).

A few years ago Julian Cope did a three hour set at Shepherd's Bush Empire which was a great gig.  My missus (to be) came along and she hadn't really heard too much of him, but was amazed at how entertaining he was over the three hours.  Capped it all off with a stunning rendition of Reward (always save the best to last!).   

September 1995 ...the enormous Propheteering Tour, culminating in 3 nights at the Shepherds Bush Empire — each a spectacular 3 hour extravaganza.

 I have no idea what Julian Cope does on stage, but I imagine it would take a herculean effort do what Jarvis does for 3 hours. Have you ever tried to sing along to an entire Pulp album at full volume?

Err, no.  Maybe Julian just does better drugs.

Those songs can be quite demanding on the vocal chords. And then of course, there are Jarv's patented stage antics, all that flailing and running around. Maybe if there were another singer in the group they could pull it off?

Pulp have enough slow ballads in their catalogue that I suppose they could come up with a low-impact setlist, but I'll take an energetic 90 minutes over 3 hours of subpar Jarvis plucking at his acoustic guitar.

Is three hours such a long time for a gig?  I know a few artists have done it (Spingsteen, Clash) , and some are quite energetic (like St. Julian).  As a one off dream gig, I don't think it's unfeasible, and I don't think it would be Jarvis plucking away at a guitar.  Crikey, it's a dream set list, Jarvis can sleep for two day solid after it if needs be.

I'm crap with dream setlists, but as long as these songs were on the list:

O.U (Gone, Gone)
Lipgloss
The Birds In Your Garden
Razzmatazz
Live Bed Show (Eden Project style)
Acrylic Afternoons (full-length, Brixton '95 style)
Countdown
Underwear
She's A Lady

I'd be a happy chappy.

You mean the Day After the Revolution? :p

One if my biggest regrets is not getting into Pulp earlier, I'd love to see them live so much.
