Production
Found this interview with Ed Buller via the Suede forum, and I think it'll be a nice read in between the Christmas celebrations.

I listen to the band...
An article with an interview that I enjoyed reading. I like it when it's about the band.
I think you would enjoy it too, so read it:

Europe is our playground
Stockholm, then London, it was a perfect combination.
Cirkus in Sthlm is not a small venue, capacity of 1800 with standing area, but neither is it a big arena. It did give closeness to the band, which I like, at least for the standing crowd, at least for me.
The concert was wonderful and to be there with friends that have somewhat the same love for the band as I, it adds to the experience. 'Pantomime Horse' is still one of my favourites to hear live, of the slower songs. It just hits the body in a sensuous way.
I didn't have that much time to digest the concert afterwards since I was heading to London.
After a break of some shopping and a concert with The Radio Dept. at the Scala, it was time for my second Suede show in a week's time.
Since I love Dog Man Star with all my heart it was something extra to stand among the masses in front of the stage at the O2 hearing 'Introducing the Band' as intro to the band, after the obligatory 'Bodies' by Sex Pistols. It had been some years since the last time.
For me it almost felt like the concert had started in Stockholm and that it ended in London, that it wasn't any time in between. It's an odd but nice idea. They were both good shows, respectively, in their own way.
Two major things made the London gig special for me. Apart from the size of the arena, the gig being the last (?) one, and the fact that it was in London, the massive screen showing artwork from different albums and singles made the concert a greater experience. Additionally to hear 'To the Birds' at the end of the show, with the Drowners' artwork in the background made it truly beautiful.
