Pulp Live Performance of A Little Soul at The Mercury Music Awards
In September 1998, Pulp performed 'A Little Soul' live at The Mercury Music Awards, a pivotal event for the band. At this point in their career, they had just released their iconic album 'This Is Hardcore' earlier that year. The album, filled with raw emotion and biting social commentary, marked a significant evolution in their sound, moving towards more experimental pop. It was also around this time that Pulp was gaining serious recognition, having shifted from cult status in the early '90s to mainstream success, particularly following their 1995 hit 'Common People.' Their performance at the awards showcased their unique style and charisma, cementing their place in Britpop history. The energy of the live show perfectly captured the essence of Pulp's approach to music, blending humor and poignancy in a way only they could.
