Wild God and Ghosteen are the best albums he's done since Let Love In. Both are beyond fantastic. It's heartbreaking the pandemic scuppered Ghosteen, but Wild God deserves to be played live in its entirety and I cannot wait. The fact it will upset the Red Right Hand and Into My Arms brigade is a lovely bonus. Welcome back @russycarps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate the verse, as bad as Little by Little in my book. Wondered if it could be rescued! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think the joy of being full Bad Seeds will win the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an unreasonable amount of Springsteen in there, but the Bad Seeds in Manchester '17 definitely makes it, and Cave/Ellis in Bradford comes quite close.

I usually add Led Zeppelin & The Ramones/Talking Heads double bill but that’s partly just name-checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an arena-stadium lover when it comes to that, so a lot of mine tend to be the biggest acts. Largest namedrop I can do in relation to venue size is seeing Bob Plant road-test his Saving Grace stuff in a basement venue under a pie shop in Leeds about five years ago.

Cave/Ellis at the Liverpool Phil is up there for me too. 32 minutes ago, Avalon_Fields said: This exactly replicates any best ever live gigs list I’d make.

NorthernSoul52 Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago There is a risk of name-checking. With McCartney last year, pretty much ticked off most of the "classics" or at least a variation on them. (Gilmour in lieu of Pink Floyd, for example.) Some have defied age - Springsteen - and some have not - Dylan. But I try not to lose sight of how stupidly fortunate I am that I've got to do these, that I'm alive and in the right place in the world at the right time to achieve these dreams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that too, in a tiny place here in Stroud. Felt pretty special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lone complaint with Manchester in '17 was that he played all but one track from it, rather than going all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I'm not normally a Cave listener tbh, can def see why people love his stuff but it's never done a huge amount for me. I listened to Wild God on holiday and did enjoy it, will go back in for another listen and maybe check out some previous stuff again.

CaledonianGonzo Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Given the stylistic similarities and the fact he's got a gospel choir on tour with him I'm a little surprised he's not using the opportunity to dust off a bit more of the Abattoir Blues / Lyre Of Orpheus material.

That material is kept well hidden dear. Hiding all away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted 31 minutes ago Report Share Posted 31 minutes ago The setlists have made me get a ticket. Love the new album and the rest looks outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
