If it makes you feel any better I was in the front row and couldn't really see Nick when he was behind the piano! Not a complaint though, you just probably saw different stuff to me. I couldn't have been happier with where I sat. Bagged a setlist too.

I came out of that gig thinking "I need to see them again" and completely forgot i had tickets for Primavera so that is a joy to remember!

I Need You was so awesome. I was in tears for a big chunk of the middle but managed to keep it quite dignified I think. That was definitely an emotional moment, though. I love that song so much.

Do you think they will play much Carnage stuff with the full Bad Seeds?

Hand of God and white elephant both seem very likely.

Hope so. They sounded absolutely immense last night.

Thank you, that's kind of you! I kind of feel I did too, haha. Probably will never get quite that close to them at a gig again so very glad I splashed out.

Just bought tickets for this depsite having not listened to Carnage and listened to Ghosteen about once. Might go in blind though.

I honestly think this would work quite well. The Ghosteen songs felt like they had a whole different feel live. Where will you be seeing them?

Ah nice, enjoy! I thought London was the end of the tour for some reason.

Do yourself a favour and listen to Carnage. It's excellent from start to finish.

Was incredible last night. Got a few pictures from the choir section.

As I posted upthread, I bought a nosebleed seat for Edinburgh Playhouse, but due to some circumstances I had to sit out. As I was going to New Order Halifax and Manchester (Heaton Park) gigs, I added Cave & Ellis Stoke-On-Trent, the day before NO’s Piece Hall date. I was blown away. It was so good that I decided to catch them in Glasgow. Again, I was blown away. Honestly this matches the best of the Bad Seeds shows I have ever been to.

I was a “balcony man” both times and the benefit is, both venues are 1500-seaters while Playhouse Theatre houses about 3000 so the stages were relatively close even from nosebleed seats. And in Glasgow Nick dedicated the song to those in the balcony lol.

Whenever he came to “balcony man” in the singing, it caused a lot of commotion around me. That made the day for us in the nosebleed. You should have been there lol.

I enjoyed Ghosteen as an album, but the live performances had the intensity that, for whatever reason, were not so present on the album itself. Playing those songs in theatres was definitely the way to go. Ending with Ghosteen Speaks was a masterstroke.

Balcony Man was, I think, dedicated to the balcony dwellers everywhere. Crazy amount of balcony sections in Cardiff. 

Looking forward to the summer tour with the Bad Seeds, and wondering where they'll play over here.

I completely agree on Ghosteen. I like it but it's far from one of my favourites and definitely didn't have the impact for me of Skeleton Tree or PTSA. Live, though, was a totally different prospect. Those songs really came alive for me. Such a shame they didn't get to do the proper Ghosteen tour last year.

Are they definitely doing a full tour next summer or is it just festivals? Very excited about Primavera anyway.

I’m curious to see what they’ll play on the summer tour. Given how Ghosteen heavy this tour was, I’d be surprised if they play many songs from it next summer, especially when a lot of their shows are festivals. I’d be surprised if we get anything new before then so maybe something that covers all the albums rather than focusing a bit more on the last few?

I’m not going to see the Bad Seeds in their Summer tour in Europe next year so I hope Nick & Co. will add the UK dates, especially considering they postponed and then canceled this leg.

Just met Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson at the Brighton gig. 

 

Oh yeh and the show was sublime.

Festivals and some of their own headline shows in between, wish I'd seen the announcement of Verona. The venue there is stunning.

[zzzfest]

I looked at the European tour schedule, 04/06-26/08. There is a big gap between 09/07 and 02/08. Any hope to see them playing in the UK during these three weeks?
