Nick Cave

[Midnight Man]

Enjoyed tonight but didn't think it matched the weird magic of Glastonbury (except down on Jubilee Street).

[gagpaf]

Watching Alice would be awesome. I'd like them to play I Let Love In or Mercy, but the latter is highly unlikely.

[gagpaf]

Can't complain though. Hearing Are You The One... in Brighton was a treat.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I think I've seen them do Mercy at some point. Not sure though.

I'd rate it Saturday, then Glastonbury then tonight but it's a close call.

Please...

I think they should finally drop Stagger Lee for a while, it has become a parody of a parody. I really miss Mick Harvey's muted guitar on this song. Although the new guitarist does a great job.

I think jubilee street and stagger Lee were better at Glastonbury, the rest? Nah....

I agree, I think he just enjoys performing it though. I do wish they'd dip the extra last verse though, I hate it

[russycarps]

Ugh I've caught typing aids off scruffy

[gagpaf]

What do you guys think about the new song?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Gigs are so subjective though. I think so much depends on your mood as well as the performance. Today was probably exactly as good as last night, just various

factors meant I enjoyed it slightly less.

I reckon I should have followed your lead Russy and had a break in the middle as was just knackered today! Monday gigs though, ugh.

[russycarps]

not a lot to be honest, I can't remember a lot about it but I remember some of the lyrics annoyed me

[Zoo Music Girl]

What do you guys think about the new song?

I love it (shocker). Particularly like the 'If you want me to burn I will' bit.

[russycarps]

I didn't like the bit where he repeated the same word three times, or did I imagine the whole thing

My thoughts exactly.

Not sure which bit you mean, unless it's the 'If you want me to burn...' Which is repeated several times. The other lyrics are quite weird but not bad for it. I think the lyrical content on PTSA is quite a departure for him anyway and it fits well with it.

[russycarps]

I think I was probably just narked off as I knew it was the last song

[dentalplan]

Just a thought, they haven't performed it in over 20 years but could possibly get All Tomorrow's Parties tomorrow. Great cover.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yeah horrible feeling that They also finished a few minutes earlier last night so could have squeezed in one more, the slackers!

I wondered about All Tomorrow's Parties - I love their cover of it. Or maybe time to do another Lou Reed track even.

It was my first time seeing them at their own gig and gah it was probably the best thing I've seen all year. Papa Won't Leave You Henry and From Her To Eternity were especially manic. Luckily the crowd around me were pretty good, minimal phone action and lots of singing and and stomping. I want to do it all again tonight!

A first Cave gig is something to be treasured

Despite being knackered and deaf it will take all my willpower not go again tonight. Last night a tout said tickets were going for face vallue and I live stupidly nearby. But I can't afford it and I do have next Sunday ahead of me. Must. Stay. Strong.

I really liked the new song. SL was better at Glastonbury but must remain in the setlist because it's unique every time- time to get rid of RRH and Deanna, though, as both songs are for and encourage the tourists and it's clear that neither Nick or any of the other Bad Seeds give a toss about either of them anymore.

Jubilee Street is the new Stagger - unique and brilliant, yet somehow different, each time they do it.

Babe, I'm On Fire still being held back for Koko, obviously. I'll be upset if we don't get Papa... next week as well, although I'd trade it for Loom Of The Land, Brother, My Cup... and Christina...

It's still Henry's Dream's 21st birthday, you know!

I reckon you're on to something there.

On my wish list for Koko (as well as Babe, I'm on Fire) is Saint Huck. There's no reason why they can't just do a three-hour set is there, really? Babe, I'm on Fire would barely make a dent in that. I mean beyond the fact that they might not want to.

As I've already pointed out, they clearly don't want to do RRH or Deanna anymore but still do so their desire or lack thereof to do B,IOF should be neither here nor there; they should do it because I want them to!

[russycarps]

if we are requesting songs from henry's dream then I'll take when I first came to town please. Love the way that builds up to the angry climax.

0.01% chance of getting it though I suppose.
