Born to Cry - Pulp Live Performance Featuring Richard Hawley in Sheffield

Venue: Motorpoint Arena Location: Sheffield, England, United Kingdom Date: December 8, 2012

Before the live recording in Sheffield on December 8, 2012, Pulp had released their highly acclaimed album "We Love Life" in 2001. This studio album was significant as it marked their return after a lengthy hiatus, showcasing the band’s characteristic blend of sharp lyrical wit and rich instrumentation. Interestingly, the Sheffield concert was part of a reunion tour that celebrated their enduring legacy, and it featured the rarely performed track 'Born to Cry,' which hadn't seen a live audience prior to this event. With Jarvis Cocker at the helm, known for his engaging stage presence, the performance resonated with fans who were eager to relive the band's unique musical journey. The choice to perform this specific song underscores the band's willingness to embrace nostalgia while still delivering something fresh for both old and new fans.
