“Carrots, potatoes, peas ... oh no that’s my shopping list” is such a dad joke 💀 I love
Made me chuckle
It was 1995.
Yes I was around in 1995 and I can confirm that that's the kind of joke people made back then
This a magic song my friend
Still funny.
“You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go.”
You’re amazed that they exist
And they shine so bright that you can only wonder why
this is what the supermarket princess will never understand.
Jarvis Cocker is Britain's treasure.
Sheffield 🧡
Ma baby Jarvis so classy and handsome , and now so wacko but talented as hell ua-cam.com/video/6QRWNcyAtiQ/v-deo.html
Glastonbury is an English treasure
Paul Gore not any more
Along with many other notable musicians.
im 17 and every single day i wish i were alive in the 90's and could experience all of this. the music was indescribably better and this performance is one of the examples. what would i do to be there but i wasn't even alive, what a shame...
Trust me, if you'd have been 17 in 1995, you'd have spent your days wishing you'd been around in the 60s. And if you'd missed this performance, for whatever reason, that would have been it: now it's so much easier to find everything. You should enjoy being 17 in 2024, because it will only happen once, and if you spend your days wishing you'd been born earlier, you'll waste your life.
I was 18 in 1995 and completely caught up in this. Especially Suede. And even the old guard, Morrissey for example, were on fire, too. Anyway - at the time we were loving it but just presumed it was the new norm and things would continue to just get better. Between 1994 and 1996, 5 amazing singles every week was the standard - for the first time since the 60's - but why wouldn't it be? So we were casual about it. What we *didn't* know was that by 1997 everything would have turned to shit and manufactured Boy/Girl bands would take over. So in retrospect it was a special time. But Retrodreamer, I honestly believe that 2024 is also witnessing a great resurgence. I listened to 'Girls Talk' by Chroma, and 'Sicky Sweet' by NewDad recently and that could be Sleeper or Echobelly. If you support these bands and go and see them then you too could witness a new 90's. x
@stanleymchale9477 and as someone even older than you, I champion older singers and styles... Nat King Cole.... Sinatra ..... Ella etc. To my grandkids. They're always amazed that people played instruments!! 😂😂
You can feel the excitement in the crowd here. Pulp weren't even meant to play that year, so most of these people wouldn't have been expecting to see them. That makes their excitement all the more special
They took the place of The Stone Roses, didn't they ?..
@@vanman757 yeah that's right
Sometimes fate deals you a good hand....and they took it.
I was in the wings for this performance, 20 years old & just a mere cabling assistant back then. I finished my shift just before pulp came on, but decided to stay and watch them from 30 feet away instead of heading to the bar.
The single best decision I made in my 20’s! After a few drinks I still bore my friends with it now.
@@ivoredwards3021 incredible! They were on the Park Stage in 1994 and smashed that too, but still fucking incredible to think this was just a year later
If James Acaster doesn't play Jarvis Cocker on a biopic or a show about brit pop I stop believing in humankind.
judith Morales holy shit that would be perfect
I thought it was James acaster when I first saw the thumbnail.
Ooooh yes :]
Agreed
We say no to pay to win *stop bullying us*
Fucking hell what a performace.
3mins 30 secs: ''But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand''
*Cue the bassline, a violinist who's had his Weetabix and absolute mayhemic scenes in the crowd.
Great performance
The noisy violin makes a massive difference.....the best version of this song??
@@philippaine If you see them live the violin isn't usually that loud - I think they just got the levels a bit wrong on the recording.
No phones
RIP - and much love to you in the beyond, if there is one - to Steve Mackey, the bassist of Pulp. Your cool legitimised Pulp's quirks, your grooves drove Pulp's hits, your creativity led us here. Rest well Steve (1966-2023).
He looks like a teacher or a clerk, but when on stage, turns into one hell of a showman. What a delivery!
I don’t care what any of you say, this is the best song ever written. Even more relevant 25 years later.
There’s defo better songs but don’t get me wrong this is a good one
@@the17thdoctor1 This is more an audio visual experience , I have watched this video again and again . Its a consummate demonstration of showmanship and playing a crowd.
Lyrnyrd Skynryd - Free Bird
@@chriswakefield9538 nah
I'm with you. Best song ever. Brings a chill to my spine and makes my heart soar even after all these years.
I was 17, addicted to music, living through an amazing time in British music. I'd loved Pulp since 1992, but was still close to devastated when The Stone Roses had to cancel; I didn't think Pulp would be able to fill that weighty gap. 26 years later, it's still one of the best 2 or 3 gigs I've ever been to.
Agreed. What were your other top gigs?
You old now.
@@queensberryrulez5306 Indeed.
20 years old and just saw pulp last Friday, definitely the best gig I've ever been to
@calastyphon3414 was that at Hammersmith? I was there too!
Wow I can't believe that this was 25 years ago, looks really current
HD filming has existed for decades, it's just that TVs weren't able to show them until very recently.
Apart from the aspect ratio.
That's what true art does
kevin leon seeing any form of a crowd makes me feel like it is the distant past now...
Not a single LED in the whole lighting rig.
MY wife and I are in that crowd - mad - brilliant - love it!
I used to play weddings in Ireland for a few years and we always closed with this song, and people always lost their shit. It was the song nobody was ever expecting but everyone wanted. An incredible piece of music.
Some career change right there after you hung up your boots, Mr Richard Dunne
@@MrJinkxy
It's so strong lyrically and as a piece of music. Makes sense, very relatable, starts soft and sweet and builds to a roof thumping crescendo. It's just great.
That violin adds the perfect amount of frantic chaos - it’s what the hour before a full on panic attack must sound like. And so clever how it just screeches tiny peeps during the verses. Ominous.
I have to disgree. In my opinion the violin ruined the entire performance. Way too loud in the mix, bearly leaves room for the singing. I have nothing against unorthodox playing or sounds but it just doesn't fit in this context. It would have been way better without the violin.
Being such a dynamic instrument it’s so difficult to mix a violin properly, especially during an electric performance. Would have been way cooler if it was buried in the mix rather than on top of nearly everything.
@@jellekolenbrander9112 agreed, also I believe there’s a monitoring issue (imagine Russell Sr having to monitor it either through headphones or a speaker with the crowd). The mix is a bit off, but it does add in the pre chorus. Should have been lowered a bit.
Absolutely agree with you. Never realised it, but I can hear a real John Cale / Velvet Underground influence in their live performances.
The violin makes this ....it drives the song to a higher level....that's why millions remember this performance when they stood in for the Stone Roses....and closed with this version.
It's awesome!!
For Mike, wherever you are
I was there in the crowd age 20. Joint,cyder in hand and full of youth. What a night it was.....
Ur so lucky. I’m 15 now and the things I would do to be a teen in the 90s. Everything just seemed better :/
Ok boomer
Me too!
That's not a Boomer, it's Gen-X, Gen-X hate ALL of you ......so sit right back down and shut up!
@@maya697 Yh same here mate 90s 80s or 60s I want it
What a fucking legend! The way he just chatted to the audience on the biggest stage in the world... so sick
I was with you till you said "so sick". This is Jarvis and it is 1995 and England was "sick" free....
ok mate not the end of the world@@bganonimouse2754
....'part fom grey man John Major / Edwina Egg and Neill Kinnock catastrophically losing with "We're Alright" at the 1992 Sheffield Rally , pretending too be kool - man ...
Loved this song when it came out and it's so relevant now in Australia 2024.
The beauty of Common People is that it was written and released at just the right time. Legendary.
One of the reasons the Tories were kicked out in 97.
Lovingly summed up! X
It’s as relevant today in 2024 as was when it was first released . TORIES OUT IN 2024 SMASH EM AT THE NEXT ELECTION!
"25 years, here's to 25 more" - Little did he know that the 50th would be cancelled because of a worldwide pandemic!
Why, would it have been it's 50th year, this year ?.. Wow...
I bet he suspected it, though.
@@mrtjm1152 What are you talking about?
At 1:15 he says that they're stood on the stage after 15 years - that's not 15 years after the song came out, but 15 years of Pulp trying to "make it" and become successful. It took them literally years of getting nowhere before they made it big.
At 8:44 he says "Glastonbury 25 years, here's to 25 more alright." That was what my comment was about.
@@mrtjm1152 They're talking about Glastonbury itself...
@@jsl4228 Ha, ha, ha... Some people hey ?.. 😄
Nah the thumbnail had me thinking James Acaster was playing Glasto
Me too lol.
Sameee
Watch Taskmaster, Series 7: Acaster was channelling Jarvis Cocker throughout.
25 yrs ago? Christ I remember it like it was yesterday. Time flies. Remember kids, enjoy your time on earth. It doesn’t last as long as you think.
Couldn't say this enough, so very true everyday counts.
Straight up. All this bollocks about "investing in your future" so you might be able to enjoy your last 10 years is a fucking grim way of living. Live in the now. Dance, and drink and screw, because there's nothing else to do.
And yet ... My time on earth encompasses _Telstar_ and Elton John duetting with Dua Lipa
I love the baffled element of the crowd when he launches into the album only verse that they don't know.
every verse is essential
No phones just living the moment of one of the most underrated bands Glastonbury 95 was one of the greatest and I got In free
This song Is the most universal thing on the universe
Back when a music festival was all about the music.fucking wish I was back in the early 90s
Back in the days when people were in the moment... no on their bloody phones!
Magnificent performance people will never forget! Put down the phones!!
His speech at the start is almost as beautiful as the song. What a legend.
I get you so sublime
You so funny and IAM
Greatest pop song ever written.
great and common as muck
@@binghamguevara6814 ?
Pop?
@@matteoviola5760 yes
@@matteoviola5760 of course pop, why do you think the genre is called Britpop
Best Glastonbury performance ever. Back in the day when you didn't need to be a brilliant singer in order to be a brilliant preformer singing a brilliant song.
And to think that they were a last minute replacement headliner...
Slide Away that same year is the best Glasto performance ever.
I think the modern band Fountains DC are sort of creating that same feel at the minute
Slide Away from that exact festival is laughing
This is great. Shows the song at it’s beginning. The 2011 version blows this away though
Not bad for a skinny weird looking guy prancing around the stage singing in a therapist's voice that got 200,000 people in the palm of his hands.
"You'd have thought the local book club had just walked in, picked up the instruments and started playing"
He's probably the most charismatic nerd I have and will ever see , the guy is hypnotising to me haha
Virgo power
He is so sexy
@@VarenUA-cam a Virgo/Libra, the likeable nerd
This on the same level as Queen at Live Aid!
The more I watch the more I see! The pinnacle of live concert performance!
No band alive will ever have a more authentic stage introduction than this
They need to raise the volume of the violin
I assume this is sarcasm
Also, it needs more cowbell.
This is in my top 10 live performances of all time
It's my #1.
How I love the pop and all kind of these músic from UK and this Master piece still, much more... thanks Pulp?
From 3.00 in until 5.00 enjoy the song with the violin turned UP!
An awesome rendition of this excellent song.
Truly one of the best live performances of all time.
Every last man and woman in that crowd are 100% invested in what's coming at them from that stage.
Pulp had the whole place eating out of their hand
This is probably the greatest set in the festival's history. You just need to see the crowd's reaction. It says it all. Despite only doing 12 songs, sets were shorter in them days, 3 of them were live debuts. Can you imagine headline acts today coming to Glastonbury and a quarter of their set had never been performed live before. It just won't happen. Today, they play too long and too safe. When artists agree to play the pyramid stage they should watch this first. Just to see what they need to live up to
crowds and songs like this make me proud to be a Brit.
Paddy Thomson Well... Hopefully not for much longer... Alba gu brah.
@@YerDa67 what
@@humanchannel7825 he thinks that Scotland will beak out of the union
@@YerDa67 in your dreams, you twit
Yeah, I'm sure Jarvis was searching for cheap uk nationalism when he wrote this
I have always thought that Pulp were the best band of the so called Brit-Pop era, even though they had actually been around long before their 'peers'. Jarvis Cocker is bloody marvellous!
They were the most Brit and the most Pop out of all of them. I feel like only Parklife era Blur should be put in the same genre. Other bands didn't even fit the same description.
Pulp were without question the best band among all those around at that special time.
Their music and the lyrics of their songs were on another level and Different Class is certainly one of the best albums I've ever had the pleasure to listen to and own
I always thought Suede. Their debut is one of the best debuts ever. Pulps Different Class is superb. Oasis Definitely Maybe is up there too..
If every decade of pop/rock music to have a hymn...
*Common People* should be the hymn of the 90ies...!
Definitely the most i've ever seen a glasto crowd move.
Really? Check out The Killers, Brightside, or the Foos.... 😂
Muse - Glastonbury 2010
Blur-Glastonbury 2009
Yeah glasto crowds are normally as limp and unpassionate as my missus going down on me on valentines day.
Fun lovin’ criminals playing Scooby snacks 96 I think
What an stunning performance the brilliant Jarvis Cocker
He had total control over the whole audience for every note in that song, superb Jarvis !!!!!
Such a great song and even more ironic at Glastonbury, where at least 90% of the audience are basically the girl from Greece.
OooF! But true!
Brilliant comment!
And where are those girls now?
And like her, they also didn't get it.
You could break in easier back then
I was there and it was an amazing performance, Jarvis emanated love and humour, I will never forget it.
No pic no proof.
I miss Pulp. Just great, just very British.
You do know they haven’t split up
@@the17thdoctor1 Brexit joke lol.
@@the17thdoctor1 yes they have
They are back together 2023
There is a moment in the life cycle of any great band when they are at their zenith,imperial phase or whatever you like to call it, where they can do no wrong, this is Pulp’s. It’s a moment that has been building for a while and when it comes you know it, the band knows it, and history will forever retell it. 1995 what a year!
I was a surreptitious event but one which everyone will agree was meant to happen. I doubt the Stone Roses would have gone over half as well.
Luv and Peace.
@@ianedmonds9191 Totally agree, Stone Roses Zenith was 5 years before this.
Totally agree - saw them a few times that year. Nottingham Rock city, Reading festival 1993..
I can see myself in the crowd here on the shoulders of a friend. I was 19 and this is one of the best memories of my youth, the music, the lights, Jarvis cocker… thank u for the memories Glastonbury
RIP Steve:(
DAMN the audience was going HARD
Concerts were pretty much always like this in the 90s, people was there to vibe
@@pollitorsiones that’s why i’m gutted to not be able to see any of these bands again live :( now glastonbury is ruined with billie eyelash and modern rappers 🤮 someone better get Noel that 100mill or i’ll go mad
BBC Audio Mixer In Violin Player Bribe Corruption Shock
Omg one million times this. The strangest mix - guitars and drums completely buried. Bass unusually loud and the violin completely overpowering everything. Best fiver that violist ever spent!
@@andrewfurze5319 😀
Must have bunged the cameraman too.
Ахаххахахаха
This made me crease hahahah
Different class was an awesome album. Sums up my 90’s memories, which were amazing.
the violin really does add a whole other layer to this song.
Also the beauty of a the crowd before age of cellphones.
Crowd was in the moment instead of capturing the moment.
"May it live 25 more...."
OK mate, ur right on this one.
British pop masterpiece
omg he’s so hot. his voice, his hands and movements....
Life was a different animal in the 20th century. 🖤
Can’t believe what a difference one year makes. Nobody knew this song when they played it at Reading ‘94.
Let's all meet up in the year 2000.
High water mark of 90s brit pop phenomenon. Absolutely great stuff!
Violin sounds like a french ambulance
Common knowledge that those are the most annoying of all ambulances on the market
LouisRG Haha
Bruh I'm French and this is exactly what I've thought 😂
It’s horrible
It was definitely a bit much in places, still a great performance
Concerts without Fking phones, just enjoying the unrepeatable moment.
sadly this time will never come back.
the drop at 3:30 must be one of my favorite moments of the 1990s
For anyone watching on a smart phone, the auto landscape view was invented for this video.
My eldest daughter was born in 93. She grew up on me listening to britpop.
She is 30 years old now, and every now and again will send me snippets of videos for a reaction, her favourite is disco 2000, and she does the jig the girl does in the video, fwd and rev, just for laughs....🤣
It was a time of great music where people came together and just rocked out, no prejudice, just done their thing...........great times, cheers Jarvis 👍🏻
There are very few songs that are absolutely Anthemic ICONIC BRITISH this is one 🇬🇧
The Greatest Song of All Time
3:31 This drop is epic
I think that being a failure and having to struggle this song comes from the heart and Jarvis has a HUGE. Fantastic performance. After I lost my parents I really wasn't listening to any kind of music but now I've been listening to PULP and The Verve.
Literally went to uni in Sheffield because of this band. Don't regret that one bit.
500 years ago, Great Britain almost conquered over the world. 60 years ago, Great Britain took over rock and roll music, and spread its immaculate power. 30 years ago, Great Britain conquered alternative guitar rock and won yet another generation for years to come.
Be strong, Britain. Let no one corrupt you, let no foreigner shame you, let no undeserving soul spit on your ground. Better times will come.
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The only time I went to Glastonbury Festival. I was stoned and miles away from the stage, but this is burned on my memory. Brilliant.
One of the best ever moments at Glasto - Pulp smashed it....
"Here's to 25 more, alright?" And here we are, 28 years later. Blimey, they were good times.
When Pulp headlined Glastonbury. What a year. Gone were those days.
The middle weekend of the middle year of the last decade of the 20th century. Cold war was over. Thatcher was gone ( major was stumbling towards electoral oblivion) so much hope so much promise...I was 19... This was best night of the last year of my adolescence. No matter what comes.... I'll never forget it. 🥺🥺
Same here, was a golden time. The fear and division of the previous 20 years were being put to bed, the world was opening up and there was genuine hope and optimism for the future.
Ngl John that's kinda wholesome.
Didn't they announce John Major had resigned or something halfway through the weekend?
I listened to this recently on the Different Class remaster. Mad to think that then Glastonbury was only 25 years old (which to me then as a 15 year old seemed like ancient history.) Yet here we are 25 years on from this performance, 25 years more as Jarvis said but the festival is off because of you know what. It's unreal. Who in 1995 could have envisaged the world today... Anyway. Here's to 50 years more.
Jarvis is every 90s indies boy wanted to be...
One of the greatest performances in the history of music.
What a blissful sight - the whole crowd with their hands free....
No phones no instagram no facebook just great music a great band and a superb front man
love the crowd in 90's...
My Mum introduced me to Pulp when I was 7 when they were huge, when I go for the annual hols (vacation) next week I will be 35, she will be 62, I'm determined to start an absolute party in our place😁
I don't why but when he sings the chorus in the higher octave, Jarvis seriously reminds me of James Acaster
oh my god
Thought it was him on the thumbnail at first😂
@@tomchapman5568 that was my first thought also
Yeah!
He looks like him too
Last year of Uni - Arrived without a ticket and found out that a load of the fence was down. Just walked in! Some fantastic acts playing some awesome sets. Lost a few hours here and there due to various reasons, however Pulp absolutley nailed it and it certainly goes down as one of the best shows out of the many I've seen.
Rich girls slumming it has been a major theme in rock songs since the beginning. But this is the only one the raises it to the status of anthem for the revolution.
RIP Steve Mackey😢
as mexican this song have a special meaning to me, I relate so hard to this song. the magic of music, i guess.
Simona la cacariza mija.
I'd love Pulp to come back and recreate this at the next possible Glastonbury.
drummer is INCREDIBLE
Yea
We need more British pop rock bands like pulp today. Such positivity and joy for the world. 🙌☮️
Wow... what an explosive audience! Amazing
One of, if not, the most iconic performance at Glastonbury. We see rare performances like this every now and again. Influenced by Bowie - Jarvis is a born entertainer and he does it brilliantly - thanks lad - much respect.
Cheers Jarvis, I was there 😊❤
This is my first time seeing this. I’m glad I have now
why is there no more songs like this...thank you PULP!!!!!!!
I was there and was gutted I seemed to be the only one that didn't know all the words.
The crowd singing along with Jarvis, I will never forget.
Amazing
best glaston preformance of all time!
No phones. Just common people enjoying the moment
