Suede & Neil Tennant live at Roundhouse [1996]

I directed this concert film of the last of three nights at London's Roundhouse, marking the end of a world tour. It took place December 15th, 1996 . From a production point of view, it wasn't a major number - the concert would be used for promo purposes only - and I had only a few cameras, but I really like the film.

There's 4 songs here, the first two feature a very special guest. Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys) joined Brett to duet 'Saturday Night' and sing a uniquely Suede arrangement of the PSB classic 'Rent'.

The band continue as a five piece to perform a personal favourite of mine 'Europe Is Our Playground' and the mega hit 'Beautiful Ones'.

Apologies: similarly to the Clapham Grand concert, it's digitised from an old VHS so it's not brilliant quality, but it's still good enough to enjoy!

You're right, I never realized how loud Brett had to sing in order for his voice not to be masked by the instruments. Don't know how he can jump around so much and still sing. He's a natural performer. I enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing.

Europe is our playground is one of the most beautiful and underrated songs ever..so as Suede.....despite the nice version of Rent the moment of "Europe...." is pure magic..the shooting also gives a great dark vibe to the song....cheers to everyone & enjoy music please....
