Pulp Live Performance of Common People at Loreley 1998
In June 1998, during the peak of their popularity, Pulp delivered a stunning performance of 'Common People' at the Freilichtbühne Loreley in Germany. This live recording came shortly after the release of their highly acclaimed album 'This Is Hardcore' in March 1998. The album showcased the band’s evolution into darker themes and intricate storytelling, a leap from their earlier work. Known for their uniquely British perspective, Pulp blended elements of pop and indie rock, earning them a special place in the '90s music scene. The Loreley concert exemplified their engaging stage presence and the deep connection they had with their audience, capturing the essence of Britpop at its finest. Interestingly, 'Common People' had already solidified its iconic status, embodying the disconnection between the classes, a theme that resonated widely in Britain.
