Pulp has performed a song from their album Separations for the first time since 1994.
The Jarvis Cocker-fronted group reformed back in 2023 for a second series of reunion tours. Since then, Pulp has released their new album More and toured the world over. Their recent show in Berlin, Germany, had the band perform Love is Blind for only the 21st time. The Separations song was featured as one of two setlist offerings to the crowd. Fans were able to pick between Love is Blind and Help the Aged during the intermission. While attendees opted for Help the Aged, Pulp performed Love is Blind as the final song of the night. A Sunset has been the usual setlist closer but the band rallied back on stage for a staggering performance of their Separations deep cut. Only Don’t You Want Me Anymore has made it close to the setlist of the reunion tour, as an intermission option to fans at The O2 Arena in London, England. It was not performed.
