Yeah I knew this but it isn't well known. She is a hero in my book and very talented and huge part of Pulp's sound from Separations onward. I hope she is doing well, apparently she has had arthritis since the age of 16, but you can see it has got worse in her 40's and 50's.
This is one of the greatest, if not the greatest pop songs of all time. Just imagine the buzz of the band watching thousands going absolutely mental. Unbelievable !!!
It’s the weather in England that makes good bands, the winters are so grey and dull it makes people stay in their rooms learning musical instruments and the results have been legendary since 1964
I swear Jarvis is one of the best frontmen of all time. He's got the perfect amount of cynicism, swagger, sexiness, humor, entertainment, and sense of spontaneity and danger.
Still watching this clip in 2023 and have watched it at least 200 times in my life. Am 56 now and still makes me happy to see so many people happy together just having an absolute blast listening to fantastic music. Thank you world for letting me be part of this!!!
Ive seen Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Blur, The Killers, Alabama 3 & Pulp in 2023. Pulp knocked everyone of the others right out the park. Unbelievable band.
I like muse's style more personally. They constantly keep playing music with very little talking and that constantly makes it really nice because everybody is on one line without needing any assistance
@@user-qz2ld3vt2d I love MUSE but I feel their live shows have gotten too big and unpersonal! I'd love to see them play on a smaller stage with less theatrics!
I was there, age 23. Watching it now and I'm almost in tears, man. It was one of the most epic things I've ever seen. I just hadn't expected such incredible energy.
@@meghancalahan4798 Gah, no doubt the post-covid world has affected events like this. For real though, one of those few concerts that really blew me away! 💚
I am an old man at 57 and I don't mind admitting..this is the best RUclips video that I have ever seen (I've been here forever 😢😢)This is exactly what I think.. older people rock the world waiting for the kids to catch up
They look like a bunch of geography teachers on a night out but sound absolutely amazing! For a relatively small city, Sheffield has produced an astonishing number of acclaimed bands. Def Leppard, Arctic Monkeys, Human League, Bring Me The Horizon, ABC, Cabaret Voltaire. Makes me proud to be a Yorkshireman!
The single best thing, to me, about this whole song is that the crowd sings along the whole song. And for some reason, that actually moves me. I'm not ever a big Pulp fan (rock/metal is more my thing). But something about having thousands of people gathered together and singing along is amazing to me.
Sweet baby Jesus.... Imagine having to follow that.....I don't care who you are, you couldn't possibly compete. Absolutely glorious. The greatest frontman of his generation at the absolute peak of his powers. The whole band was on 🔥
They've got some great songs . Babies . Cocaine socialism . Underwear . Remember the first time . Disco 2000 . Sorted for E's and whizz . Mile end . And many many more great songs too .
Saw them at the Leadmill just before they broke. Around the time of the Babies single. And the Razamatazz one. Up close and personal. It was fantastic. I met Jarvis and Russell at Avalon Studios too when I was in a band. He rocked up in a Hillman Avenger. Legend.
Saw a recent Brit doc about these guys.The bass player is coaching his 13 year old daughter's soccer team in Sheffield,and the band sponsors them.One of her team-mates asks her what the Pulp thing on their uniforms is about.She says"it's some shite band me dad was in."I like these guys.
don´t get me wrong... I love tons of american bands... but the brits ... they just have a kind of class that you just find in the UK bands.... This is the perfect example. The perfect pop rock song.
I'm from Spain. To me, this song is just a masterpiece. I enjoy and grew up listening to many britpop bands... But this song.... Is just another level. It makes me wanna dance, sing and express my anger as a working class person all at the same time.
They played this first at Reading '94. He introduced it by saying; "This is a new song. It's called 'Common People'. I'm one of them." He was wearing turquoise shoes and a turquoise shirt. Black jeans. "It's all about colour co-ordination you know". Aaaaaaaaaah the 90s!
Really Amazing, I heard this song in last 2006-2007 and forget it, until today 26 Feb, 2024. Really this man s a great singer and showman and for the letter of this song, a great human. Please you touch more of these kind of songs, and THANKS, my blessings!
Blur might have provided the greatest overall album artistically of Britpop; Oasis representing the roots of Britpop to the public via the media best; but it was Pulp that defined and gifted what Britpop was about most lyrically - in this song. Safe to say then, that this is one of the best (and most important) songs of all time.
What a load of bollox, although I love Oasis, Blur & Pulp it was Ocean Colour Scene that were the absolute MASTERS of the 90’s Steve Cradock alone posses more musical talent in his foreskin than the other musicians of the era combined.
I think I’ve really watched this a million times.... well not really a million, but I’ve watched it a fuck load of times and it still never gets old!!!
As a Japanese, I watch this video once a month. And cry. That is how to survive in a Japanese society that is ugly, cruel, and rotten, and that does not recognize the dignity of others who have made a mistake once. For example, there were several people who jumped into trains and died today. What are you doing? That's why we need this video of their song.
I hope somebody reads this comment 10,100,1000 years from now. Lyrics-wise this is absolutely one of the most underappreciated songs of all time. Pure brilliance. And this particular performance and the atmosphere itself - chef's kiss...oh to be in this crowd, so jealous.
Gotta be honest ive seen a LOT of live bands but OMFG Pulp blows my mind Jarvis gives 110% to his performances!!!!! He blows the stage apart! puts his heart & soul into it!
One of the best songs ever! Can't really think of a song that gets me as excited as this one! It is uplifting, despite the lyrics and the message behind this. We still managed to get over every challenge and make it here, 10 years later!
@@luizspindola I feel the same way. They seem so aloof. Although I should mention that my assumption only comes from watching some of their live videos on RUclips. I did like their energy in the 2$ bill concert and their performance of "Take it or leave it" on Letterman I think.
“you will never understand, how it feels to live your life, with no meaning or control, and nowhere left to go” fucking amazing.
I mean, there's literally not a better lyric written. It's insane how perfectly he matched the sentiment of this line with the melody he wrote for it.
"And they burn so bright while you can only wonder why"
That part tops it off for me 😉
"you never watched your life slide out of view"
only you😅❤lol
"When you're laying in bed at night / watching roaches climb the wall / if you called your dad he could stop it all".
God I love it so much.
Absolutely fantatastic.I'm 83 years and this makes me feel so good and happy
That's some good shit bro

It’s the weather in England that makes good bands, the winters are so grey and dull it makes people stay in their rooms learning musical instruments and the results have been legendary since 1964

Also While She Sleeps, Reverend and the Makers and the Last Shadow Puppets too
And Joe Cocker
It must be something in the air maybe tonight or even in the past but still very good bands
I like that he is dressed like a supply teacher to play the biggest festival on earth.
Jarvis sleeps in such clobber!
I saw him in Rome doing tourist stuff, dressed exactly the same. Doesn't care.
It’s cause he wants to live among the common people

Yeah. Watching cock roaches climb the walls. Its like he really told the story of the ppl, and that's why its a jewel and why ppl love it.
Me too...and I think that Jarvis Cocker is just a fuckin brilliant frontman of a band even though quite sure not the best singer of the world ;)
@@rothotborski He just works ;/
how are Pulp not a rock band

I was there! Right at the front, got bruised ribs from the crowd pushing me against the barriers. Worth it.

I am so jealous
I was on the barrier too. Hugged Jarvis when he came down during I Spy. One of the great nights of my life.
I’ve never been so jealous of bruised ribs more than now!
u so lucky
Was never a Pulp fan but this is one of the best songs ever!
They've got some great songs .
Babies .
Cocaine socialism .
Underwear .
Remember the first time .
Disco 2000 .
Sorted for E's and whizz .
Mile end .
And many many more great songs too .
Why am I crying listening to this? It's such an amazing song!
Because it’s one of the greatest songs ever!
