“Good evening.

This is a night you’ll remember for the rest of your life,” Cocker says at the beginning, as the intro to ‘Common People’ plays in the background.

“How do you get to a moment like this? That’s a long story… The Pulp story”.

“The real live version of Pulp has been far more interesting than anything I could have imagined alone,” he adds in the clip.

“Songs contain pockets of energy from your past life, which is released when you perform them again.

It’s real time travel.” As well as making the music videos for two of Pulp’s songs, Jennings has also made visuals for Blur , Radiohead , Beck , R.E.M. , Fatboy Slim and Vampire Weekend , as well as directing the 2005 sci-fi film The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy , and writing animated movies Sing and Sing 2 .
