Anyone see Pulp at Glastonbury 1995?

I saw them in Cardiff uni in what I guess was 93. They were supporting Half Man Half Biscuit and I only realised a few years later when I found the ticket stub.

They made no impression on me at all.

Blimey!! :eek:

Back in 1993, Pulp would have entirely been playing either obscure very early material that not even many really big Pulp fans know well, or songs from 'His n' Hers', some of which are excellent. I'm guessing here, but my guess seems plausible.

But!! Half Man Half Biscuit with pre-fame Pulp as support? That's pretty fucking cool :)

I was at both Glastonbury 1995 (very sunny and hot :) :cool: ) and Glastonbury 1998 (ultra-muddy and rainy -- also cold :( :mad: ).

On neither occasion did I see Pulp, to my retrospective regret.

Was doing other things at other, smaller stages, with so much weed and cider involved that I have no memory now of the non-Pulp alternative attractions! :oops: :p
 
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.

Absolutely! :cool:

At least myself and friends managed to make that gig -- we loved it! :)

Maybe a chapter on Half Man Hall Biscuit? Saw them at Shepherds Bush maybe 8 or 9 years ago, supported by JD Meatyard instead of Pulp. Both bands were in great form. I'm sure Pulp would have been, too.
 
E2A: Apologies for being snappy here. See later post explain the unconnected cause of my ire

No need at all! As I say, apologies if I made some huge faux pas. Really enjoying reading all of these, though.

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.

Seems like there's a lot more material for that. Or "people whose 20 years of Glastonbury memories have all melded into one huge, eternal party". But that's what it's all about really...

Props for being a good sport and the very best of luck with your project!:cool:
 
I know I'm cool, but I was near the front to watch them a year earlier than you Johnny come lately! :cool:



I may? just be able to exceed you with G-1994 coolness :p, because at exactly that time, I was at most of the Johnny* Cash gig at the main stage -- Pulp were on the other.

:) :D

*Came lately to Glastonbury ;)
 
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.

Yep - the Stone Roses headlining was probably the biggest factor behind my decision to join some mates heading to Glastonbury from Hong Kong - but I enjoyed the set a lot more than I expected. Now, of course, with all Ian Brown's anti-vaxxer shit, I'd sooner go to see Pulp or a Jarvis Cocker side project or a Pulp tribute band than the Stone Roses.
 
I didn’t. But I did see them at Wembley Arena (edit, having slept, I think it may not have been Wembley. But a lot of venues look similar from the front) on the tour that followed. I painted the word “common” across my cleavage area in red nail varnish and got there hours early (skived off early from my pgce) so I could be front row. It was awesome.

I was going to suggest you meet them at the Ice Cream van until realised it wasn’t a “Help I’ve lost my mate’s” cry for help common to Glastonbury.

They did play the Arena around that time. I was there, with cleavage unadorned.
 
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.



Heh - I was at Reading '94 and remember seeing Pulp. They were great - that festival had just a ridiculously good line-up for a young indie-kid....
 
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 :eek:.
I loved it during common people when they put the lights on that lit up the whole crowd to see them going mental. one of my most memorable gigs.
 
I saw them at Glastonbury in 1995 (after the Stone Roses pulled out) but only stayed for half the set as we were seeing them the following month in Leeds. I think we went to see The Shamen.

A nice pic of Mrs SFM at that same Glastonbury :

The Shamen headlined the year earlier didn't they?

I'm sure the 3 headliners I saw in 1994 were Primal Scream (Fri) The Shamen (Sat), Curve (Sun). All on the Other Stage.
