Nick Cave

[Zoo Music Girl]

Koko is one main floor with, best described, large balconies.. Nice room, saw the Inspiral Carpets there with their 'new' nasal singer..

Thanks! Just had a bit of a wobble that I might have accidentally ended up with seated circle tickets or something. That happened to me when I saw Bowie.

I've just emailed Koko to ask about stage times also. Not that I'm obsessed or anything.

I guess they should be able to tell you when you pick up your wristband? I'll be getting there when it opens to get a good spot anyway.

really? fuck that. I might go to the cinema. I'll just push some nerdy looking girl out the way and take her spot when I arrive or something.

I've not been quite as close as I might have liked thus far - despite pushing multiple nerdy looking boys out of my way.

So, provided my mate is up for it, I want to get there when it opens.

just watching some cave videos, stagger lee used to be so much better than the pantomime we get now....

Quick question for y'all.

What's the general consensus on whether Cave will tour these shores again? With Grinderman or (preferably) the Bad Seeds. He will right? Saw him at Glastonbury but still need to get around to seeing him at one of his own shows.

I'm just wondering because the man is 56, which is by no means 'old' but surprised me. He's seemingly on top form now, but I'm a bit worried he may call it a day regarding extensive touring when he reaches the old six-zero.

Please convince me otherwise eFests!

I read an interview the other day where he said he wants to quit at 60. That was in 2008 though and people tend to change their minds as they approach that date.

I'd be amazed if he quits touring and making albums any time soon. He enjoys it too much. I reckon he'll go on forever, like Leonard Cohen.

Well, that's what I have to believe anyway!

Incidentally, they seem to tour albums more than once quite a lot, even if it's only a few dates.

Do you love me

Watching Alice

Are you the one I have been waiting

Walking just now but more to follow

[When Jokers Attack]

Not lying guys. Awesome gig as always.

Crowd were dead during the whole gig apart from Deanna. Would pick a highlight but the whole gig was just perfect.

Cave broke his mic stand and lost his mic during Deanna, Walked over and grabbed Warren's then the stage technician got his mic back.

Enjoyed the new song which they played last

, some guy shouted out "what about Lou reed?" Which Cave replied "well this is for Lou"

Got into trouble by some female in the crowd during Higgs as I was only person around me into it and knocked her drink out her hands (it went all over me) when the monkey had a gift that he was sending back to you . Wow what a gig. Still trying to take it all in.

[When Jokers Attack]

Tempted to head to Edinburgh tomorrow or even Koko haha.

Apart from the above songs I mentioned the setlist was more or less the same as the rest of tour.

[russycarps]

I'm in the recovery position after seeing what songs that got. Incredible scenes

[Zoo Music Girl]

Fucking hell. Happy for you Jokers. Now these songs are out of the bag though, I think they're way more likely to pop up at Koko.

Personally I want Are You The One more than Watching Alice but it's okay as we'll get both.

Disappointing about the crowd. For some reason I always thought Scottish crowds would be better than London ones.

If you want my Koko ticket you are actually going to have to commit homicide. I'd say it's worth the prison sentence but it depends if you can be arsed.

[russycarps]

I'm the opposite. I think they are way less likely for koko now. They obviously aren't viewed as particularly special by the band.

I think we will get a straight forward greatest hits set with all the obvious songs played. It doesn't really make sense to have obscure songs for a televised gig that will need to appeal to a broader range of viewers

I'm devastated

[Zoo Music Girl]

Don't be a dick. It's not a 'televised' gig, it's a gig they're filming for 20,000 Days On Earth - an extremely niche film that won't get wide release. It's not like it's prime time on the BBC or anything. Besides, he has been playing the greatest hits with a few specials one slotted in hasn't he? And the new album.

They'll show one to two songs at most during the film I'd say. Maybe Stagger Lee and one of the new ones? Who knows? I think we're highly likely to get Watching Alice at least. I'm putting a virtual fiver on it now in fact.

[russycarps]

I'm 99.9% sure from her to eternity will be dropped.

Come and join me in my misery!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Pull yourself together man! What's happened to you?

IT IS GOING TO BE THE BEST GIG OF OUR LIVES.

Everything rests on this gig. Look how desperate the northeners are for our tickets.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Also describe to me a Cave 'greatest hits' list that would be shit. I think you'll find you'd struggle. You said yourself even Deanna is awesome at the moment.

[russycarps]

Yes your right of course, I must have woken up on the emo side of the bed

I'll spend today basking in the northerners desperation to cheer myself up

[russycarps]

Stupid Scots haven't updated set list yet either ffs

[Zoo Music Girl]

Emo side of bed! Yes indeed. That happens to me often.

I know, lazy bunch of fuckwits.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Looking at those pictures of Koko, the venue was built for some Tender Prey action.

[russycarps]

Aye it's gonna be a real sweat pit in there.

Have you seen this review of the manchester gig? It's pretty good, especially the beginning where they talk about previous trips the band have made to the city

[Zoo Music Girl]

Thanks, I'll give it a read.

Incidentally not watched that Stagger Lee video yet as don't want to ruin Sunday's version for myself by way of comparison, both in terms of the performance and his once lustrous hair. I'll watch it later when in mourning.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I reckon watching old YouTube vids may be the cause of your emo wobble.

[russycarps]

I think you might be right. It was inevitable this thread would turn into a "they arent as good as they used to be" thread eventually........

[russycarps]

had to edit that "people just aint no good" glaring error on setlist too earlier. I think I've got a problem
