I have seen Suede at least 17 times; Phoenix 1995 @ Avon Park Raceway (1995), Shepherds Bush Empire (1999), Sound Republic ('99), V99 @ Hylands Park (1999), David Bowie @ Old Trafford Cricket Ground ('02), Electric Ballroom ('02), The Scala (2002), Glastonbury (2003), London Astoria (2003), Royal Albert Hall ('10), Suede "Suede" @ Brixton Academy ('11), Suede "Dog Man Star" @ Brixton Academy (2011), Southampton Guildhall (2019), Suede + Manics @ Dreamland (2024), Royal Festival Hall (2025), Leas Cliff Hall (2026), + Portsmouth Guildhall (2026). Part of every gig I went to from '87 to 2026. It's an obvious step from my Best Gigs Ever blog post. Yeah I know very nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm enjoying reminiscing about this stuff.
