After an exhausting, freezing, rain-drenched couple of hours queuing in the rain, it became all worth it when Suede lit up the little room at the top of HMV Oxford Street. There were some sound problems to begin with and I think Brett's voice needs a rest for a bit before the big tour, but the show was once again full of power, energy and connection. Brett came to us again and again, danced around so enticingly and played a set mainly from The Blue Hour, a few from Night Thoughts and Bloodsports and also some from Coming Up!
Finally, my phone did not run out of memory. Here is my other favourite from The Blue Hour, 'The Invisibles'. While Wastelands is probably number 1 for me and it offers hope, this song makes me quite sad even though it has crystalline, elegiac beauty.
