recently and maybe it was because of that they didn't
even sell out the relatively small venue in Stockholm.
Anyway, tired but on a good mood they arrived from
Oslo in the afternoon.
Show started with Danish support act Swan Lee. I had seen them once before and thought they were okay then and that's exactly what they were again. Highlight of their performance to me was a New Order -cover they played. Suede "kicked off" their show with Simon. Actually that wasn't too kicking, they sounded even somewhat tired. But luckily that didn't last. Brett seemed to get energy from somewhere and that energy he also needed to try to get the audience sing to the Wild Ones etc. The actual set ended with the usual She's in Fashion sing-a-long. Brett started encore by himself playing guitar and singing Untitled. The last song of the evening was Beautiful Ones. Old songs like Metal Mickey and Animal Nitrate were possibly the best part of the gig, but I personally enjoyed also the new ones, like the rocking Streetlife for example. We also got to enjoy Brett's famous sense of humour with him making fun of the audience's lame reactions on the magic words "from our new album". Another magic word of the evening was "bounce!" repeated on and on. My next day began in style as we shared the plane to Helsinki with the band. One of the most difficult things I've ever done was translating the review from Swedish newspaper Expressen to Simon. I tried to make it sound a bit more positive it actually was but I'm afraid I couldn't fool him. >> Elina's adventure continued to the helsinki gig >> Setlist: ?? positivity metal mickey filmstar streetlife beautiful loser obsessions she filmstar trash new generation the wild ones lost in tv can't get enough everything will flow so young my insatiable one she's in fashion encore: oceans [just brett and guitar] astrogirl beautiful ones >> Source: Elina, suede online forum members
