Review: Britpop’s greatest front man was back in action in the Bay Area

[ad_1]

Pulp only has five cities listed on its long-overdue North American tour.

And — wow — were Bay Area fans ever fortunate that one of those highly coveted spots was in San Francisco.

The thousands of fans who packed into the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on Monday night (Sept. 16) were absolutely thrilled to be able to witness the first local Pulp gig in over 10 years. For their part, Pulp was every bit as sensational as it was back at that April 17, 2012 gig at the Warfield, which came sandwiched between its two Coachella music festival performances.

Taking the stage right at 9 p.m., the iconic Britpop group delighted fans on Monday with a stellar two-hour show that featured 19 songs — a half-dozen of which came during two very generous encores. (Perhaps that tilt was only appropriate given that the road show has been dubbed the This Is What We Do For An Encore tour.)
