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 :D 

That set list is the stuff of Christmas presents.

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

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.

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.

+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.

    • Nine Inch Nails confirmed.
    • 1. Paul McCartney at the Co-op 2. Ezra Collective at Green Man 3. Idles at Manchester Apollo   
    • I seem to be in the minority here, but i really really enjoyed the AM gig in 2023 🤩 Had seen them tons of times before, but this probably was the best one for me.   I enjoyed the first hour of Coldplay, but lost my attention in the second part. Arcade Fire never really was my cup of tea & I barely have any memories of that gig (despite being sober 😀)
    • Lovely question.   I'd probably say...   Taylor Swift wins out at #1 with 2 nights on the bounce at Wembley Stadium    Very closely followed by The Cure at Troxy at #2   And Bruce Springsteen in Cardiff at #3.   Honourable mentions for Bad Manners and Last Dinner Party at The Fleece at #4 and #5 respectively.
    • Alpha Heat Vest Cost: What You Need to Know Before Buying The Alpha Heat Vest has quickly gained popularity as a game-changing piece of winter clothing that provides adjustable warmth through integrated heating technology. With the promise of convenience, comfort, and warmth, it has attracted a lot of attention from outdoor enthusiasts, commuters, and anyone looking to stay cozy during the cold months. However, one common question potential buyers have is:  How much does the Alpha Heat Vest cost? In this article, we’ll break down the cost of the Alpha Heat Vest, the factors influencing its price, where to buy it, and whether it offers good value for your money. 1. What Affects the Cost of the Alpha Heat Vest? The price of the Alpha Heat Vest can vary depending on several factors, including the brand, features, and where you purchase it. While the cost might seem higher compared to traditional winter clothing, the advanced technology and additional benefits justify the investment for many buyers. Here are some key factors that influence the pricing of the Alpha Heat Vest: a. Heating Technology The primary feature of the Alpha Heat Vest is its built-in heating technology. This involves rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power heat zones within the vest. The more advanced the heating system, the higher the cost of the vest. Some models may offer additional heating zones or longer battery life, which can increase the price. b. Materials and Build Quality The materials used in the construction of the vest play a significant role in determining the price. High-quality, durable fabrics such as water-resistant or waterproof materials, as well as lightweight yet insulating options like down or synthetic fibers, will contribute to a higher price. Additionally, well-constructed vests with premium stitching and design can raise the cost, ensuring the vest lasts through many winters. c. Brand and Reputation Different brands that produce Alpha Heat Vests may price their products differently based on brand reputation, product performance, and customer service. Well-established brands with a track record for quality and reliability tend to charge more for their products. Conversely, lesser-known brands may offer more budget-friendly options but might not provide the same level of quality or warranty. d. Retailer and Location The platform you choose to purchase the Alpha Heat Vest from will also affect the price. Official websites, authorized retailers, and popular e-commerce platforms like Amazon often have varying prices for the same product. Additionally, shipping fees and taxes can increase the final cost, depending on where you live. 2. How Much Does the Alpha Heat Vest Cost? The cost of an Alpha Heat Vest can vary based on the model, features, and where you purchase it. On average, the price of an Alpha Heat Vest ranges between $100 and $250. Here's a more detailed breakdown: a. Entry-Level Models ($100 - $150) These models tend to offer basic features such as a few heating zones and limited heat settings. They’re often made from lighter, less expensive materials but still provide adequate warmth and comfort. These vests are ideal for people who need a simple, functional heated vest without breaking the bank. What you get at this price: Basic heating options (usually one or two heating zones) Shorter battery life (usually around 3-5 hours) Basic fabric, often water-resistant but not waterproof Limited warranty or return options b. Mid-Range Models ($150 - $200) Mid-range Alpha Heat Vests typically offer better materials and more heating zones, along with longer battery life. These models are perfect for those who want reliable performance during outdoor activities or daily use without paying the premium price for high-end versions. What you get at this price: Multiple heating zones (often covering the chest and back) Adjustable heat settings (low, medium, high) Improved battery life (usually 5-8 hours) Durable fabrics like breathable and water-resistant materials Better fit and design options Better customer support and warranty options c. High-End Models ($200 - $250) For those who want the best of the best, high-end Alpha Heat Vests come with advanced features, premium materials, and extended battery life. These vests often come with multiple heating zones that heat up faster and provide consistent warmth for long periods. They also feature more sophisticated battery management systems, ensuring the heat lasts for longer durations. What you get at this price: Advanced heating zones (including the neck, shoulders, and arms) Longer battery life (8 hours or more) High-quality materials, such as waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabrics Premium design and construction with better fit and mobility Additional features like USB ports, washable components, and more Comprehensive warranty and easy return/exchange policies 3. Is the Alpha Heat Vest Worth the Price? When deciding whether the Alpha Heat Vest is worth the cost, it’s important to consider how much you value the features it provides. Below are some factors to weigh: a. Performance and Convenience If you often find yourself in cold environments—whether you're commuting in winter, hiking, skiing, or working outdoors—the ability to adjust the heat in your vest can be a significant advantage. The convenience of having a lightweight, battery-powered garment that keeps you warm without bulky layers makes the investment worthwhile for many people. b. Durability Given the technology integrated into the Alpha Heat Vest, it’s designed to last longer than a traditional jacket or sweater. With proper care, these vests can continue to provide reliable heating for several years. Keep in mind that buying from a reputable brand can ensure higher durability and better customer service. c. Cost vs. Traditional Winter Wear When you compare the price of an Alpha Heat Vest to traditional winter coats, the cost is certainly higher. A good quality winter jacket can cost anywhere from $100 to $200, but it won't provide the added benefit of adjustable heating. For people who prioritize warmth in colder climates or specific activities like outdoor sports, the value of a heated vest becomes more apparent. d. Long-Term Savings For those living in regions with long winters or people who frequently go outdoors, the investment in an Alpha Heat Vest can be seen as a long-term solution to avoiding multiple layers of clothing and bulky coats. The vest's energy-efficient heating system can also reduce the need for using high-energy heaters indoors, potentially lowering your energy bills during winter. 4. Where to Buy the Alpha Heat Vest To ensure you’re getting an authentic Alpha Heat Vest at a fair price, consider purchasing from one of the following sources: Official Website: Buying directly from the manufacturer’s site guarantees the best price, along with warranties and customer service options. Amazon: Amazon offers a range of Alpha Heat Vests from multiple sellers, providing user reviews to help guide your decision. Outdoor Retailers: Websites like REI or d*ck’s Sporting Goods may offer Alpha Heat Vests with added perks like in-store returns or loyalty programs. Local Retailers: Some physical stores, especially those selling outdoor gear, may carry Alpha Heat Vests during the colder months. 5. Conclusion: Is the Alpha Heat Vest Worth the Cost? Ultimately, the Alpha Heat Vest offers good value for those who need reliable warmth in a lightweight, portable form. The cost, typically between $100 and $250, is justified by the advanced heating technology, durable materials, and long-term benefits it provides. Whether it’s worth the price depends on your personal needs and lifestyle. If you frequently face cold weather and need a versatile garment that keeps you warm without the bulk of traditional coats, the Alpha Heat Vest is likely a worthwhile investment. Just be sure to consider the different models available, read customer reviews, and compare prices across platforms to ensure you're getting the best deal.
