Pulp

In June 1998, Pulp delivered an electrifying performance at Finsbury Park, capturing the essence of their rapidly rising fame in the Britpop scene. This live recording came just after the release of their landmark album, 'This Is Hardcore,' which had dropped earlier that year. The album showcased a more mature and darker side of Pulp, diverging from their earlier, more playful work. Interestingly, 'This Is Hardcore' solidified their status, with its bold themes reflecting on fame and sexuality, echoing the raw emotion in their live performances. Watching this concert, you can sense the palpable energy, a mix of excitement and deep introspection that Pulp masterfully weaved into their shows. This performance was a pivotal moment in their career, making fans realize they weren't just part of the Britpop wave—they were its poignant storytellers.
