Anyone see Pulp at Glastonbury 1995?

[pulpproject]

First time posting here, so do let me know if I’ve made some horrible faux pas. I’m a writer working on a project the 1990s, and I’m looking to interview some people who saw Pulp at Glastonbury in 1995. That’s the year it was supposed to be the Stone Roses, but they pulled out and Pulp headlined the Saturday in their place at short notice. Common People had just come out a month or so before, but Different Class was still to come later that year – also the first time they ever played Sorted for Es and Whizz live, I think.

By all accounts it sounds like it was an amazing set, and a real marker of the Britpop era. If anyone on here was there for the set, I’d love to hear from you – any memories or impressions you might have from the set and from the festival?

I was the guy who advised Jarvis to change the title of 'Sorted' from its original 'Sorted for cheese and fizz', referring to his childhood favourite snack of mini cheddars and fizzy pop.

I think as a writer rather than a journo it isn't an out of order post. I am sure there are a few posters here who were there & might enjoy reminiscing their younger days.

Good luck with it pulpproject

I was probably being a bit unfair having received an annoying email

What from pulpproject or someone else who put you in a grumpy mood?

Maybe a mod or editor could rule on this one. Judging from the OP s/he is apologising in the opening sentence so can't be all bad.

No, some idiot at work. You must have had one before? Do you Remember The First Time?

Not much. It was a long time ago & I was well pissed.

Even if this gets binned I just want to say - that Pulp set (wasn't there ) is my absolute no.1 thing I enjoy watching from 'wasn't actually there' Glastonbury YouTube clips. Common People is sensational - the violin, the crowd, the lyrics - just .

I was fortunate enough to be given a ticket/wristband on the saturday morning, and a vehicule pass too. So drove my van direct to the main stage from home, Jarvis was in the car in front of us when we got there. Didn't see Pulp play though. Having been heavily into raving I found that listening to Page and Plant on sunday rekindled my love of rock.

Was it too cheesy before ?

 

[Mumbles274]

Pretty sure I was there. Was also sorted for Es and whizz so won't be much help. Or was that another year? Fuck knows. Might have been the year I bimbled round on my own in the mud. Was it a muddy year?

I didn't see Pulp in 1995. However I did get around to seeing them at their reunion gig in Hyde Park in 2011.

Always late to the party..

Must be the 98 one I'm thinking of then? Was that muddy?

Incredibly so.

 

[Mumbles274]

Incredibly so.

Seems I was at both then, who knew!?!

 

[Santino]

'98 was when Ruddy Yurts invaded the main stage on the Sunday night, backed up by five members of the Octet. They managed to play 24 bars of Hairy Dog before being bundled off by the stewards.

 

[platinumsage]

No, I was too young to go that year. Were Pulp actually any good? They seem a bit....Guardian.

Jarvis Cocker's best performance was at the 96 Brit awards with Michael Jackson.

I hope this quote makes it into the book, or whatever it ends up being.

I've never seen Pulp, but if it helps, I definitely went to a club night in about 2015 or so when they played a lot of Pulp songs. Like, it was definitely a special Pulp-related occasion of some kind, fucked if I can remember what it was though.

Have you seen this clip from Reading the year before? I believe it's the first time they'd played Common People live, and it's really weird because no-one sings along with it.

 

[Supine]

Put me down as a maybe. But i was probably in the club tent. Who knows!

That's awesome

 

[Raheem]

I was there and I don't mind so long as it's anonymous. I've probably got a limited amount to say that's interesting, though, as with most topics.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Yea i was there, i was pretty fucked off squire had fallen off his bike and busted his arm up and we were left with fcuking pulp instead of the roses. I was with my then GF and her mates who loved them, and tbf they were alright. I remember cocker’s quip about people in gold lamé tents then i think i ate a black star and everything’s a bit hazy after that

Wasn't there, but would like to be considered for the follow up project - People who weren't at Pulp at Glastonbury in 1995, but fondly reminisce about it anyway.

Yes, and I like to be featured in the chapter about internet posters who were a bitey when you posted about your (Op) Pulp project. I also wasn't there
