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.

 

 

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

Well, at least you'll always have You Tube.

right now, my shoot- for- the- moon scenario would be the 2006 Demo Tour...

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.

Wait, only one other person wants them to play Seconds? Hmm.

 I suspect many, self included, would want them to play Seconds, but not neccessarily ahead of other songs.

I would love, love, love to hear "Seconds," but I don't know if it would work without Russell. You really need the interplay between the Farfisa and plucked violin in the verses.

 If we get a dream set list, we might as well have a dream line up

The one or two dodgy live recordings of Seconds that exist, from spring '94, show how a great song could have been made even better in studio. Russell arpeggiates the notes in the chorus and there seems to be an echo effect on it too. Sounds fantastic.

I went to see them at Brixton last year and they managed to fit in 20 songs in a 2 hour setlist. They then went to Mexico and sang 24 songs in a 2.5 hour show, so I am hoping for similar things for the home coming gig!! My dream pulp setlist: 1. Do you remember the first time? 2. Monday Morning 3. Pencil Skirt 4. Razzmatazz 5. Sylvia 6. Acrylic Afternoons 7. His N Hers 8. Something Changed 9. Disco 2000 10.My Lighthouse 11. Dishes 12. Like A Friend 13. Bad Cover Version 14. Stacks 15. Babies 16. Underwear 17. This is Hardcore 18. Sunrise 19. Bar Italia 20. Common People 21. Party Hard 22. She's A Lady 23. Lipgloss 24. A Little Soul 25. Mis Shapes 26. OU Gone Gone 27. We Can Dance Again 28. Ansaphone 29. FEELING CALLED LOVE 30. Live BEd Show (extended version) Maybe a 3 hour home coming show!!!

Silence 15 times followed by an encore of Tunnel and Srpski Jeb

However if Jarvis manages 2.5 hours then: 1. Do you remember the first time? 2. Monday Morning 3. Pencil Skirt 4. Razzmatazz 5. Sylvia 6. Acrylic Afternoons 7. His N Hers 8. Disc 2000 9. Stacks 10. Dishes 11. Like A Friend 12. Babies 13. Underwear 14. This is Hardcore 15. Sunrise 16. Bar Italia 17. Common People 18. Party HArd 19. She's A Lady 20. Lipgloss 21. A Little Soul 22. Mis Shapes 23. O.U. Gone Gone 24. Ansaphone 25. My Lighthouse

I would like to see a set that touches on all or most eras and I don't like encores - just one straightforward set as follows:

Sunrise (seemed to be the "big" song of their 2000-2002 sets so I think it would be a good one to start off with nowadays as they did with "Common People" in 2000)
Weeds
Party Hard
Glory Days (three fast crowd-pleasers before slowing it down a bit)
Live Bed Show (as per V96)
She's Dead (as insane as this might sound, I would chop the last minute off and it would sit well alongside the other slow songs without dragging on for too long)
Something Changed
Sorted (well it had to be in there somewhere!)
FEELINGCALLEDLOVE (as per Edinburgh 2000)
I Spy
Mis Shapes
Common People
Razzmatazz (three singles in a row to get everyone in the mood before the last few songs)
This Is Hardcore
Sylvia
Goodnight (totally out of the blue but a perfect closer if you ask me)
