Yeah, the same year I believe pulp stepped in for the stone roses.... I don't believe a word about squires collar bone, I reckon they just knew they weren't prepared.... Pulp were fantastic though.....
Pulp were/are one of the few bands of that era that I never saw live and would jump at the chance if they ever reformed; even though I know it would never be the same. I watched lots of that Glastonbury on Channel 4 - must have been a few more years before it ended up on the BBC. The good lady did about 12 Glastos on the bounce. Had tickets for the 50th anniversary in 2019 which got cancelled - were supposed to roll over to 2020 so assume they will for next year.
I've been lucky to see some great stuff over the years; but I can't wait to see some of the rescheduled gigs that I've got coming up over the next few months. A bit like getting back to Fratton Park - it's not so much the performance as the chance to see the performance.
Although the Glastonbury 95 performance was seminal there’s a YouTube video of Common People at Reading 2011 which I think is even better as, sixteen years later, it has even more energy and is a masterclass of stagecraft and musicianship. I love the intro from Jarvis who says that if Pulp are only remembered for that one song, he doesn’t care as it’s a good song, and it could be worse as Black Lace are only remembered for Agadoo! 😂 …and just in case the forum police are monitoring for thread drift, does anyone have a good recipe for pulp fritters with peanut sauce? |

That's the one. Butch Cassidy was Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head. Hey, I love Dylan as a recording artist which is why it's all the more disappointing he was so shockingly bad live. Like he was making a point that he'd rearranged every song into a 12 bar blues shuffle style so people wouldn't be getting what they wanted. I'm surprised. Any fan of Dylan should know he has a habit of being a complete dick at live shows. He has a long history of deliberately P?!sing off audiences. Shame, because he is a good artist. On the other side of things, I saw The Cure about 20 years ago and they were absolutely amazing. They played 2½ hours and it was like listening to a recording of every song you would ever wish them to play. (If you are a fan, obviously  ) I did know that about Dylan but before witnessing it myself I thought it was just the purists having a hissy fit. Love The Cure. Never seen them live though. But I understand they're still touring. |

Pizza. The Bluetones never play Slight Return at their gigs either. Saw them in Frome and they were sh**e. The biggest cheer was at the end of the gig when a girl got up on stage, turned a mic on and sang it acapella! |

What happened to Cap'n Crunch cereal? Used to love that when I was a kid. You can still import it from the USA for about £10 a box. I didn't love it that much.

Which dearly departed Chocolate bar would everyone choose to bring back? This is a dream post - particularly after a terrible day at the football. (Today's food = co-op meal deal before the pub at lunchtime; venison burger after getting back from commiseratory beers). On 'forgotten' chocolate bars - does anyone else remember the Rowntree's 'Secret Bar' - probably late 80s, or early 90s - was a normal bar, but the outside was a similar effect to a birds nest - inside was a sort of chocolate mousse? |
