Suede at Clapham Grand: Derek Jarman pre-show speech

Since uploading the Suede and Derek Jarman concert recently, I've now found the VHS of the full length concert, including this: part of Derek's speech before the concert. I've uploaded it as a companion to the concert (separate clip).

I worked with Derek on a variety of projects including this concert between meeting him in 1991 and his death, shortly after this event, early in 1994. A true artist, an inspiration and much missed friend.

I guess he was almost already blind in 1993...

Anyway this one is great post.

And I realized that suede in live is much better than on cd .

He looked uncomfortable- rocking back and forward, scratching.

So sad. What pain and suffering this disease has caused.

I wonder if he hadn't have died, what he would have written and

produced since 1994

12 July 1993. Fourteen days before my eleventh birthday- if only, if only I could have gone...

Derek Jarman, and Suede: great, unique, irreplaceable.
