It was everything I hoped it would be. Jarvis Cocker is a sex panther rock god. All over the stage the entire time, slithering on the floor during "This Is Hardcore", funny as shit between songs and he seemed genuinely touched and appreciative of the crowd's enthusiasm. Very positive vibe between the crowd and the band. I said Pulp was the only band I'd pay $100.00 for and I stayed true to my word ($110.00 per ticket!) and it was worth every penny.
I was thrilled to hear:
Disco 2000

Bad Cover Version.

Something Changed
It was kind of sad when Jarvis said this night will never happen again so thank you for being here. I'd be surprised to see Pulp here in LA again (only 15 minutes from my house!) but I do hope to see Jarvis solo sometime in the future.
It was an incredible evening and I still am having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Since the 90's Jarvis Cocker has been expressing my fears, phobias and triumphs much better than I ever could and I will be forever thankful that I finally got to see him live. Definitely a life changer for me.
Now I'm really mad I didn't win his underwear in that charity auction. probably some sicko won!
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
