Which would be good news, as I think that album will be a beast in a live setting.

 

Looks like an excellent set list, actually. Too bad they didn't have time to play the last one that was written on the setlist.

On the plus side, only 1 from Ghosteen

The only surprising thing for me is the omission of Push The Sky Away as a closer or Higgs Boson Blues somewhere

Interesting... Ghosteen is often highly rated but I feel it's the weakest of his recent albums.

I'd like more Girl in Amber please.

I recently heard the song Hollywood off of that album. Think it's one of the strongest things the man has made. And that's saying a lot.

Sad to lose some from Abattoir Blues

Does anyone else think Nick Cave is trying too hard with building a "mythology" around himself? It's like he really wants a Waits-ish vibe but it comes across as slightly phony (not saying I don't like some of his material, he's certainly talented).

Well yeah, there's a whole business apparatus around him to make him the new alternative icon. Though I don't think it's phony.

 

Only one Ghosteen track holds up, given that this tour isn't about that record. Surprised at the amount of overlap though with the 2022 tour.

I'm actually avoiding real spoilers but, how bad are we talking here?
