Suede and Derek Jarman, Clapham Grand, July 12, 1993

[chekybeetle]

does anyone know where i can find the full version of this show????

this show is amazing! but i think there are some songs missing in this video, my insatiable one, she's not dead, still life etc.

I saw couple of videos of this show and they are all from a website of korean fan club, but i couldnt read korean,

anyone knows where i can find a full version of this show? any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

@chekybeetle Still Life is featured in this video. There were a couple of songs with Siouxie Sioux and Chrissie Hynde that we weren't allowed to film (so they're missing). Doubt you find much more complete film than this but u never know...

Thanks for sharing this this. It was pretty amazing.

I was a suede fan living in london at this time. How could i have missed this?? I was exactly the sort of pretentious bohemian type who would have wet myself at the combination of suede and derek jarman! And i was just down the road in brixton. Oh well - at least it was captured on video and i can see some of the magic. The version of high rising here is absolutely achingly beautiful.

I can't express how good this is... Derek Jarman's art and Suede's - intelligent, brave, inspired, unique, it's got to be the most avante-garde concert ever, and I don't care about the video quality, this is the GREATEST live show I've ever seen, it's just incredible! Some of favourite ever songs, and I think I know where they got 'Dog Man Star' from now. Thanks again for preserving this, MikeChristie, I won't ever get tired of watching it.

this is cathartic

[FA8T]

Whose the female singer at the beginning?

[guybf]

sounds very like amanda palmer although its not (that would be a dream come true!)

[luqas99]

@guybf Wet dream

[musicalsimsy]

She's called Avy, from the band Sharkboy who were signed to the same label as Suede.

[howdycaptain63]

cor look at that 06.00 leg butler stylee leg stomping. why did it never catch on?

[thetattytruth]

because it looks ridiculous?

[sinj3]

Blast from the past - I was there and it was an amazing gig - we even blagged into the aftershow. A fantastic night. Can't believe there's decent footage :)

[wewantaction]

wow that was fantastic! thank you so much for sharing.. this is a priceless historical document of a band who were at the peak of their greatness then...

[luqas99]

God, this is some treat... Thanks so much, MikeChristie! But Siousxie and Chrissie Hyndes' turns are really lost forever..?

*WEEP!*

[musicalsimsy]

I thought High Rising was amazing.. but at the end when Brett asks everyone to remember why they were playing, and then to close with that song of all songs (I won't spoil it) it's a truly heart-tugging moment. Amazing and thanks Mike for uploading.

[RingleaderOfTheLeos]

Wow, a great document! Waited to see THIS for aaaages so now finally!! Thanks very much Mike, I mean it. The very first Suede era was tremendously evocative and powerful....amazing version of High Rising here..."stom making me older, start making me new"....sigh!

[NaMrJellyRek]

I agree. the very first suede era was something else altogether.very unique. cant put my finger on it...like nothing I have ever experienced before.

and the fact that High Rising is on there live makes this so cool.

[FA8T]

That can't surely be a dedication to Derek Jarman at the end, he died in 1994. Unless i got it wrong. xx

[MikeChristie]

Derek watched the concert from the balcony. His pre-show speech is on my account as a separate clip. It's a good memory. x

[FA8T]

Yes just watched it; he was such a sweet loving man. I watched his famous face 2 face interview when i was about 15 and was utterly transfixed. He always held such heavy opinions so beautifully lightly. That was what made him so memorably wonderful. xxx

[MikeChristie]

That's a very astute observation.

I was privileged to know him for the last 4 years of his life.

x

[FA8T]

Your a very lucky man. I would have loved to have known him for a day. xx

[TeenageWildlife]

this is really amazing stuff here.

[ggrenster]

Probably the best version of 'To The Birds' I've heard.

[claws4thought]

Very fine to see this again after so long.... that was some night....and of course the event that led to the Introducing the Band films......this is Suede at their best....and all from 2 VHS camcorders. Amazing how well the films here made 20 years earlier, work with music. Beautiful.

[mawdsleb]

Thanks for uploading this , its amazing. the High rising sounds perfect.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

It's amazing to see this band in its original incarnation (especially performing on the date of my birthday). My only regret about the film is the absence of Siouxsie Sioux performing the Lou Reed cover "Caroline Says" with Bernard Butler in guitar and Martin McCarrick on piano.

[MikeChristie]

Yes, sadly both the Siouxsie and Chrissy Hinde performances had to be excluded and weren't even shot.

[cornelpunx]

this video is amazing. always wanted to see this performance. i got the siouxsie and chrissy hynde performances on an old bootleg vhs. filmed from somwehere on the balcony. not great quality but watchable. would upload but no vhs player/converter.

[gazk116]

just posted the pretenders cover :)

1st generation of Suede(butler's music)+Derek Jarman+Brian Cannon are the perfect match.

I really love this rare collection.

I will keep this forever.

Thank You, Mike!!

There is no need for words. The way we deal with the lost of someone is the way we found ourselfs. Liked it very much. The landscape it's beatiful.
