Nick Cave

[Zoo Music Girl]

Can we all agree to gag anyone talking unnecessarily during his set tomorrow?

Agreed. I'm hoping to be close enough to the front that it will be impossible for people around me to talk though.

There's still a chance of Babe, I'm On Fire. A small one but there's always a chance.

Can anyone recommend a good boozer near the Apollo?

[russycarps]

The Dove or The Blue Anchor on the river. 10mins walk tops.

Anyone know what time Nick actually gets on stage tonight? 8.30pm?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Bit last minute but one of my friends has cancelled tonight! Anyone want to buy a face-value ticket? PM if so. Sorry if not allowed to post this here also...

[Brave Sir Robin]

The Dove or The Blue Anchor on the river. 10mins walk tops.

Cheers! Had settled on the Blue Anchor.

Why is everyone so happy with the setlist when he's still not doing Babe, I'm On Fire?

The special KOKO gig should just be an extended Babe, I'm On Fire where he goes through the occupations of all the attendees in addition to the song.

No, we came for a pint beforehand and there's just a flyover! We're in the queue now instead. No orangutans, so don't think Russy's here yet.

Happily sitting on the floor in anticipation of a marvellous nights entertainment. Nick, if you're reading this thread (and we all know you are, religiously), it's time the run the band through B,IOF ready for the encore.

He's on the barrier somewhere, I'm sure of it!

Edit: I'll make a little prediction - tonight won't top Glastonbury but next week will.

You might be right!

[jimmyt]

Who's the girl supporting? She's amazing!

[carlosj]

Shilpa Ray. Glad we came early, she was good. Good cover of I would rather go blind, at the end.

[jimmyt]

Amazing from Nick but the people where I was (dead centre about 10yards back) were worse than the Mumfords lot! At least they were fucking terrified - the morons around me just talked and moaned through anything that wasn't RRH.

You see NCATBS in an indoor venue and you can't help realising that if they headlined the JPT at some point it would be one of the greatest ever Glastonbury moments, guaranteed.

Mosh pit just right of centre was phenomenal :-) I can't actually hear anything now but long term damage is worth it lol.

Enjoy the next few shows!

I know I chat a lot of shit and hyperbole but I think that's possibly the best gig I've ever seen. I'm 30 years old, I've been to a lot of gigs and I've been to a lot of Nick Cave gigs but that - that - was just phenomenal. Absolutely on another plain. From Her To Eternity buried me alive and dug me up again. Really thinking of going Monday as well even though I know it's mental.

It was better than Glasto. If Koko tops that I may not live to tell the tale.

That is all.

[Zoo Music Girl]

It's not all actually. I need to shout out for Higgs Boson Blues.

[When Jokers Attack]

Awesome to hear!

So excited for Thursday now.

[Zoo Music Girl]

You won't be disappointed.

[When Jokers Attack]

You won't be disappointed.

Any changes in setlist from Brighton?

[jimmyt]

Any changes in setlist from Brighton?

Very different. Can't list it for you but very different.

[When Jokers Attack]

Very different. Can't list it for you but very different.

Good to know.

[Zoo Music Girl]

He did Far Fron Me and not Nobody's Baby Now. Otherwise I'd say fairly similar?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Ah no he didn't do Are You The One... either did he. Can't think of what he did instead.

I'm talking out of my arse (again) - he didn't do Sad Waters, West Country Girl or Babe You Turn Me On either. We had Jack The Ripper and We Know Who U R. We didn't have Papa Won't Leave You Henry. So yeah quite different! Oops.

What a gig last night! Played a few I really didn't expect. First time Ive seen him indoors and it was beautiful. That is the best word to sum it up; the colours, his control of the crowd, the bad seeds. Totally triumphant, in the words of Bill and Ted.

Out of curiosity, was anyone near the short crazy lady who ended up on the floor crying and throwing her shoes at anyone who tried to help her up?
