Pulp

In the vibrant haze of the mid-'90s, Pulp was riding high after releasing their breakthrough album, "Different Class," in 1995. By the time of this live recording on February 12, 1996, at Canal+ in Paris, they had already captured the hearts of many with their distinct blend of Britpop and sharp social commentary. "Disco 2000," with its catchy and infectious energy, had become an anthem of sorts, reflecting the spirit of youthful angst and longing. Meanwhile, "I Spy," another track they performed during this set, showcased Jarvis Cocker's remarkable storytelling abilities, revealing a more introspective side. Interestingly, during this period, the band was not just a rising star; they were at the forefront of a cultural wave that questioned societal norms and celebration of idiosyncrasies—symbolizing a unique moment in British music history. The performance exudes an electric atmosphere, firmly establishing their legacy.
