The end of this with Common People is probably the greatest live spectacle there is. Imagine being The Strokes having to follow Pulp with your one mediocre album.

Disco 2000 has to be there most iconic anthem of Britpop, I remember going to a Disco at Center Parcs, Elvedon Forest when I was 8 at the time and the DJ caught me wearing PULP t-shirt and he played Disco 2000 and now I'm 29

I doubt he would do it. I don't think he's an actor.

I'm not sure if it was the booze that I'd consumed, but this set was more special than any other that I've seen at any festival. Jarvis was perferctly tuned into the crowd. What a man!

This is a mind blow, as this song was released in 1995 when Jarvis was 32 and I was 9. Now he's 49 and I'm 26 -- where has the time gone?

[@insanqolbi50]

The Strokes is a legendary band on its own and all, but how they were gonna follow up this amazing set is beyond me. That being said, with Pulp, The Strokes, Muse and MCR, for me Reading 2011 was one of the greatest lineups ever assembled back then. As great as Oxegen 2006 when The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys and Placebo championed the stage

Jarvis is this generations Bowie

[@Shayman1011]

No one could be as good as bowie but he's certainly not too far off

[@5hane_]

I'm sorry but Bowie was on a whole different level. Jarvis stamped his name over the Brit Pop era but not even close to Bowie's legacy.

[@insanqolbi50]

If only Brett Anderson has brighter and more long lasting career than he is now, he'll be the "next Bowie" although even with his swagger and all he can only be the lite version of Bowie. Both Brett and Jarvis are Britpop legends tho

[@deepankurnayantara]

That would be Alex Turner
