Off topic, but I'd also love to see Iggy at the farm!

yeah I've never managed to catch him either so am eagerly anticipating any sort of European tour announcement. I agree its a stunning set list.

Iggy was great, was at the front for the whole thing too! Hoping he turns up at the farm in June  

That set list is the stuff of Christmas presents.

That makes three of us!

He tends to play Manchester doesn't he? Yorkshire wise he could play Leeds or Sheffield academy size wise. 

Eh, really don't like Sheffield Academy. That's also the same size as Memorial and City Hall so rather see that one instead.

As for Leeds, we really don't have a decent 2,500 plus venue, outside of the arena. I feel the Academy is a bit small for the Bad Seeds. If he did, I would be there like a shot.

[Chawk]

Every musician maybe playing Leeds should scale up/down/whatever and play the Brudenell 

[russycarps]

Hope they don't play RAH in London, ticket prices will be insane.

Brixton is my hope. Nice and easy to get home too!

[John the Moth]

Never seen Cave and the lads live, fixing that Wednesday

Is Leeds academy that much smaller than Manchester Apollo?

I'd say quite a bit, yeah. From what I remember of Leeds Academy, it's a similar capacity to Albert Hall?

Drunken memories tell me it's bigger than Albert hall. And also bands that play both venues aren't really comparable. Saw black keys on brothers tour at Leeds academy and they were at Apollo next time I saw them. Seen James, primal scream, manics (normal tour) eels and others I can't think of off top of my head at academy. Can't see any of them playing Albert hall. Sadly. 

Wo, I searched it and Leeds Academy is over 4x the capacity of Albert Hall, weird because Albert Hall feels pretty big. I would've said it's a 1k+ venue but it turns out only 500.

OK so that was what drunken memory told me. Google tells me Leeds academy is 2300 and Apollo is 3500. 

I'm now thinking I might go to Grandaddy or Laura Marling at the Albert Hall, having googled it. I'm circling the overdraft rn, I cannot afford the frivolous thinking!

Albert hall the building with the downstairs bar etc is fairly big but if you think about it the gig room as soon as you walk in you're fairly near the stage. Probably as close as being on the dance floor at Leeds academy. 

Have you been to anything at the converted Halo yet? That could be a good venue if they've taken steps to make it not too echoey, sight lines may not be great though, but these are things that haven't done much to ruin some of the amazing gigs I've seen in Manchester Cathedral.

Sorry I'm old - and drunk - so I don't know what you mean.

Halo, the nightclub inside an old church on Woodhouse Lane, has just been converted into a gig venue. They've got The Jesus & Mary Chain and British Sea Power in the near future.

Similar set list yesterday but four songs less and ordered differently

http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nick-cave-and-the-bad-seeds/2017/north-gardens-ballarat-australia-33f89481.html

 

Didn't even really register Nobody's Baby Now the other day. Bloody hell, that's a strong addition. Wonder why the fewer songs in this setlist though.

Been listening to Skeleton Tree and PTSA this afternoon at work. Going to be glorious. If they pull their finger out and announce it. And not in early October please, thank you. 

[mungo57]

+1 for Brixton as London venue that would be class

 

those setlists looking great, only seen them once at G before MUMFORD and been dying to to see them since. Skeleton tree really has grown on me despite not liking it as much to begin with for some reason. Also loving the random Brit nomination

I'm hugely excited by the skeleton tree stuff, but they've done a lot of those other songs to death now. They have such a massive back catalogue that it's a bit disappointing to see mercy seat, red right hand, into my arms, stagger lee tupelo, ship song....they've all been ever present for years now. I was hoping they would build a new set list to compliment the new album. I guess they just don't have time to rehearse a load of new stuff so just stick with what they know

Yeah I do agree with you, much as I love those songs. From Her to Eternity and Nobody's Baby Now can stay though. But it'd be good to see some more rarities or lesser played stuff, or actually just more from skeleton tree.

Ordinarily I'd agree with you. But I think the stuff on Skeleton Tree will be powerful and brilliant but also pretty draining as a live experience potentially. Some of the old familiar poppy numbers will complement them will in this context IMO. 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Oh really? My bad. Didn't do the maths and these short albums take some getting used to!

Ooh yeah would love some cuts from NMSWP. Obviously. 

[Tuna]

Yeah was hoping for more NMSWP cuts too but that first setlist is something else. I'd also love to hear Nick doing Leonards Avalanche.. Think it would be a great yin/yang to Skeleton Tree material.

He played it when I saw him in Glasgow on the "solo" tour. Beautiful.

Very jealous. I know he's done a number of Cohen covers; has anyone else seen any?

Saw him on that tour in Vienna. Phenomenal

[Tuna]

Damn.

[DownboundTrain52]

Perfectly happy with a heavy Skeleton Tree and Push the Sky Away presence. Throw in the hits and some Abattoir Blues / Lyre of Orpheus and I can retire a happy man.

Bloody Nora that's a set list and half. All the best nmswp songs. Bet oh my lord was immense. 

And to finish with saint Huck!

And no love letter!

Meanwhile 15 years later it's about the only nmswp song we ever get.

Ffs!
