30th March 2007An acoustic set taking place in London's biggest gay indie club may not sound like the best idea. Especially if the core clientelle is too young to remember Suede. Add the fact that your album doesn't contain any fast paced anthems.
Brett Anderson didn't have anything to worry. Coming on stage in high spirits, he told the audience he guessed they wanted him to sing some songs. Starting with a song about sex from his debut solo album, he followed it with the single Love Is Dead. His loyal fanbase cheered, while others shouted for the Suede classic Trash. After requesting audience to stop being so rowdy and telling them to be quiet he continued his set with a Suede b-side The Living Dead followed by the Wild Ones. Not wanting to disappoint, he finished his set with an acoustic version of Trash. The audience demanded more. Not having planned what else to play, Brett decided to take requests.He dedicated Clowns, the b-side to Love is Dead, to a fan. An attempt to play Across the Universe was cut short with a "fuck it", and was followed by the intro of another album track Scorpio Rising. Hesitating on what the play next, he opted for another Suede classic to finish his set. An acoustic So Young with the chorus sang by the audience proved that those who had doubts about this night were wrong.
Setlist: Infinite Kiss, Love Is Dead, The Living Dead, Wild Ones, Trash, Clowns, So Young
