Pulp Performs Sunrise Live at La Route Du Rock

Venue: Fort de Saint-Père Location: Saint-Père, Brittany, France Date: August 10, 2001

In the summer of 2001, Pulp took the stage at La Route Du Rock in Saint-Père, France, delivering a memorable live performance. This concert came shortly after the release of their fifth studio album, 'We Love Life,' which hit the shelves in 2001. Coincidentally, 'We Love Life' marked a significant turning point for the band, showcasing a more melodic and introspective sound as they wrapped up their journey in the Britpop scene. It’s interesting to note that this album, influenced by a period of reflection and collaboration, was recorded with a sense of urgency and intimacy that resonates in their live shows. The lush arrangements and poignant lyrics during this era highlight Pulp's evolution, bridging a chapter from their earlier hits to more sophisticated storytelling. The 2001 La Route Du Rock performance stands as a perfect snapshot of a band poised at the edge of change, engaging an audience eager for their unique blend of wit and emotion.
