I think you did him a favour re 'Cum On People' too
Blimey!!
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
) and Glastonbury 1998 (ultra-muddy and rainy -- also cold 
).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!

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.
Let's just YouTube the 1995 Pulp thing!

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

I know I'm cool, but I was near the front to watch them a year earlier than you Johnny come lately!
I may? just be able to exceed you with G-1994 coolness
, because at exactly that time, I was at most of the Johnny* Cash gig at the main stage -- Pulp were on the other. 
*Came lately to Glastonbury

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

not for long
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....

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.Even if this gets binned I just want to say - that Pulp set (wasn't there

Didn't realise they did back to back live debuts of Disco 2000 and Sorted.... When headlining Glastonbury. Ballsy move

Theres nothing more annoying than a "if you believe in something enough it will happen to you" bit of philosophising from someone who has "made it"
if only life were that simple

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 :

I think you can probably allow it for someone headlining Glastonbury after plugging away for a decade and a bit of public indifferenceTheres nothing more annoying than a "if you believe in something enough it will happen to you" bit of philosophising from someone who has "made it"

Perhaps, but the myth of meritocracy leading everyone to a massive stage gets right on my tits. I'm happy for them they made it of course

Be a Pisces. Jam.
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.
