The 90's legends gave expectant festival-goers a glimpse back to the heyday of their subtle lyrics, dark humour and behemoth
sized tunes.
Invoking a nostalgic orgy, Jarvis Cocker and Co's performance was typically subdued
and powerful, transforming the Isle of Wight into the ultimate indie epicenter.
Recalling his time on the island
as a cub and a child, Cocker "has returned a man" and "promises to do his best" while he threw sweets to
the hungry mosh pits.
All the hits were there too: 'Disco 2000', 'Common People' and 'Do you Remember
The First Time' all performed with inciteful and reflective banter delivered in cool styled monologue.
A tipsy
Richard from Clapham Junction was in the thick of it at the front. He said "I love Jarvis. Finally a chance to see one
if the greats. Hope the parents recorded it in 3D. Pulp
kicked arse."
Foo Fighters will round
off day two at Isle of Wight Festival 2011
later this evening.
