Pulp

In August 1995, Pulp was experiencing a significant peak in their career, following the release of their breakthrough album "Different Class" in 1995, which had gained critical acclaim and commercial success. The live recording of "I Spy" at Brixton Academy captures the band's electrifying performance during this period of transformation, when they were cementing their place in Britpop history. Notably, "Different Class" featured hits like "Common People," which became an anthem of the era, and the album's themes resonated with a generation, addressing class issues and social commentary. This performance not only showcases the band's burgeoning popularity but also highlights the dynamic presence of frontman Jarvis Cocker, whose distinctive style and wit stood out during their live shows. It was a pivotal time for Pulp, as they were beginning to garner a devoted fanbase that would follow them through subsequent projects.
