Bernard Butler never does anything particularly fancy, but every note he plays is unmistakably brilliant. He was one of a kind. Brett's pretty good too.
Oakes is a very good guitarist but Butler is out of this world, just a totally different level. Can't think of many British indie guitarists who've reached it.
Its the technical stuff that sets him apart as well. For example his Gibson 355 was a Stereo model designed to be split into two amps but he rigged up a special cable to run it in mono into a single Vox ac30 amp because it “sounded better “. It’s the unseen stuff like that which separates the true musical greats.
I was at the Tower Ballroom gig as well, my hubby went to the bar and on his way back he bumped into Matt an Brett, quite literally, coming through the swing doors on the back stairs. It was an awesome gig... one I will never forget. Brett read the lyrics to the talkover off three sheets of paper and chucked them into the crowd when he was done. Bernard threw his guitar on the floor at the end of this track and just walked off and left it whining. Fantastic stuff!
bloomin marvellous, Bernard Butler is my favourite guitarist of them all - I mean it - you just listen to these 8 minutes plus to understand why... he always wrote the melodies in my head. I love this so much - would be great to see him playing his guitar again...thanks for posting this
@@jimmysquire6242 Its just called Performance, I can't find any links online to buy the CD unfortunately. I think it's been erased. But there's a full video on youtube: ua-cam.com/video/Pjam-FS_yoA/v-deo.html
Come to my house tonight We can be together in the nuclear sky And we will dance in the poison rain And we can stay a while in Heaven today Let's stay together Let's stay, these days are ours Let's die together? Two hearts under the skyscrapers Come to my arms tonight Just you and me together under electric light And she will dance in the poison air And we can stay together Two hearts under the skyscrapers There's a time bomb in the high rise There's a blue suburban dream Will I see you up in Paradise Or have you come to catch me? Come to my arms I'm lost Just you and me together in the year of the horse Single file in the nuclear night And we could feel a little closer As we tumble through the sky Let's stay together, let's stay these days are ours Let's stay together Two hearts under a skyscraper Let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers
omg! what an amazing version! thanks so much for posting this- great quality too- the extended ending is amazing- the lyrics, the vocals and the guitar work are all just brilliant- must have been a great gig to be at! Now its roll-on march for the Suede reunion! cant wait! yay! :)
IIthink this was taken from the Blackpool Tower Ballroom, Feb '94. I was there. Losing Myself (performed in the same show) became New Generation. Much preferred Losing Myself to New Generation.
Incredibly great! I know that without butler this wont be the same but I would die to hear this at Coachella... the last time I saw the boys was in SF in 1996 - its been too too long!
Performance is a brilliant bootleg in terms of package, sound, tracklist and lucky me, I got a copy. The question remains though... What are the COMPLETE lyrics during the solo? "...16 tears for every year..." are the only lines I can catch...
OMG! Yes! This is indeed from "Performance". If Im not gravely mistaken, its the 11th or 12th song on the album. I loved this bootleg but lost the copy while moving house! Thanks for putting this up! I found a part of me again!!
@AshtonArcher I'd imagine from the exemplary sound quality and the place of origin of the user who uploaded the video, that this is a recording from a show in Japan, but I could be wrong . . .
As heavy and dramatic as the hair rockers of three years before this. But with the twist only British music subculture could give it. Is it a 90s indie band doing sleaze or the other way round? why care.

This version should be remastered and put on the official suede channel
Bernard butler is GENIUS
Butler was the man for suede
his guitar always makes me want to cry and cry
Bernard Butler never does anything particularly fancy, but every note he plays is unmistakably brilliant. He was one of a kind. Brett's pretty good too.
This is one of the best songs ever written
This is how Suede should be remembered, the guitar is absolutely flawless...
Oakes is a very good guitarist but Butler is out of this world, just a totally different level. Can't think of many British indie guitarists who've reached it.

It’s the unseen stuff like that which separates the true musical greats.
John Squire is one of the few
Oakes got better on recent albums. Check out his playing on I don’t know how to reach you and flytipping just fantastic

Sadie Rose Bermingham: I used to have a very good quality recording of that show, audio only. If only I could get another.
Oakes is good, but when you listen to this stuff you realize that Butler is perfect. Brett and Bernard were perfect together.
Agreed..
Oakes got better
Oakes has Autofiction , night thoughts and coming up to his name now.

i miss bernard
Best live performance EVER.
Brilliant on repeat, over and over again
this is from the cd Performance. ALL SUEDE FANS MUST HAVE IT..
tgodd which cd?
@@2010welshy Its a bootleg incase you didnt work it out.
@@thebluestcrowe which please?

@@jimmysquire6242 the cd name is Performance.
BB was pretty fantastic to be fair
To me Bernard is better than John Squire or Hendrix. Still, what do I know, I'm just someone listening to music in my bedroom. -----
Bernard: I AM the only guitarist and I WILL be heard!!!!”
The man is a beast!!!
Damn even the drums sounds sick in this. Deffo better than the studio version
I remember certain gigs where you had to be there. Unfortunately I wasnt there for this one but I know the energy.
I wish I had been at that one 😁❤️
Sorry meant I wouldv been 11 so no chance,! Lol 😁
Come to my house tonight
We can be together in the nuclear sky
And we will dance in the poison rain
And we can stay a while in Heaven today
Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
Let's die together?
Two hearts under the skyscrapers
Come to my arms tonight
Just you and me together under electric light
And she will dance in the poison air
And we can stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers
There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in Paradise
Or have you come to catch me?
Come to my arms I'm lost
Just you and me together in the year of the horse
Single file in the nuclear night
And we could feel a little closer
As we tumble through the sky
Let's stay together, let's stay these days are ours
Let's stay together
Two hearts under a skyscraper
Let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love
Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers

I really can't add anthing. Beautiful.

holy shit, that rapping at the end of Stay Together is fucking fantastic! Anyone know what he's saying?
See our lives in the shadow of the gun
@@thebluestcrowe took a little girl where the pigs wont come. 16 tears for every year
😂😂😂😂😂el final es 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤ GENIAL THANK YOU!!!!!
Suede would be nothing without Butler... Brett's sexy and dark lyrics only fit perfectly with the guitar riffs by Butler. I love Coming up though
charmlessnerd not true! Coming Up is a masterpiece.
Have you listened to The Blue Hour? It's fantastic!
@@ggiant9844now autofiction even better
I'd love to hear an isolated version of Bernard's solo on the long version of this (Brett's rant gets in the way)
Also This Hollywood Life is called "Trashy"...
🙌🏽
wow :)
bernard exorcising ghosts
Bernard Butler Genio...sorry Oaks..
@AshtonArcher I'd imagine from the exemplary sound quality and the place of origin of the user who uploaded the video, that this is a recording from a show in Japan, but I could be wrong . . .
Is this Blackpool 94 version? The song is great, but the live version rips the single to shreads.
Wish I could find the lyrics for the rap in the middle, anyone?
This is amazing!!wheres it taken from??
@x06022 early 1994
guitars on this and guitars on asphalt world? tough decision.
What does Brett say from minute 4.20?
is it meant to be black originally? just wondering..
:P

xD
for my own personal opinion.. butler is more better than oakes..
+rodimus Prime much better...Oakes is a bad replacement
