The last time Pulp was in the country, it was 1998. I was fortunate enough to see them play at the Livid festival in Queensland and now, thirteen years later, I was fortunate enough to see them again at Melbourne's Festy Hall.
It was great to hear so many of the songs that were my favourites back in the late 1990s. This is Hardcore was probably my favourite but, Disco 2000, Do You Remember the First Time, Common People and an encore that included Party Hard all tied for second.
But really, the main event was Jarvis Cocker. The crowd hung on every word he said and every dance step he made. Hilariously, early on in the performance, he asked if someone could get him a pair of rubber-soled shoes from backstage. The pair he had on was making him slip. When the shoes finally came out, he told the crowd to 'talk amongest yourselves' while he changed. Okay, maybe you had to be there but we all loved it! Hopefully Pulp won't wait for another thirteen years before coming back.
