Pulp - Loreley, Germany 20.06.98

[@guyincognito1560]

Given they had to use another band's equipment due to a cockup in logistics, they pulled it off pretty well. That could not have been easy. Love this band, Mark held the brilliant standard of guitar work Russell had achieved and Richard slid right in to fill things out. There's a reason this band has 3 (should be 4) albums in the Britpop top 50.

He was very mad at the sound!😮 mad good drumming on common ppl. ❤ stage banter on point.

I was there @RB-oz1mm and played that venue 5 years later! Pulp didn't have in-ear monitoring, like most people back then they were using conventional monitor wedge speakers. Jarvis often got too near them and dangled his mike too low, causing feedback squeals. Hard on the FOH sound tech, who would have been their guy...

wtf was this gig bout, were they hungover or what?! not even Candida a feeble smile, weired shit. I guess it's the most sincere live of Pulp that I've ever heard.

This is what pulpwiki says about the gig; "Jarvis opens the set by telling the audience that they are going to "die in pain". This sets the tone for what is to come. Jarvis is clearly in a filthy temper. This had been precipitated by having to play with borrowed instruments because the band's own equipment was flown to Moscow by mistake ("I've never been to Moscow ... but by fucking amplifier has ... My amplifier is more well travelled than I am."). The fact that Jarvis was unable to hear himself through the monitors during the set aggravated things further. At the end, Jarvis shows his displeasure by smashing the microphone stand and tipping over the monitors."
