Seething with jealousy here. Must have been a very special night.

Glad to hear the attention seeking bint from Glastonbury didn't get a look in.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Er no. Is that what I need to do?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Okay, I've done that. Then what do I do?

then you need to copy the url given to your photo from that website, click the little photo icon above the text box on this website, called "image", paste the url in there and it should work....

[Zoo Music Girl]

My images don't seem to have a url?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Thought I'd cracked it but it says "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community."

Ah well! They're a bit blurry anyway.

[russycarps]

ah thats a shame. Can you just post the links then we can click them and it'll take us to the photos no?

its the blind leading the blind here....

Hopefully that should work! As I said, they're a bit blurry but I think they capture the atmosphere.

[russycarps]

ha cool, you had a better spot than me!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yeah I think I got there earlier. Some of those have a bit of zoom on though, I admit!

I was closer at Hammersmith, managed a bit of a hand grab and an arm grope then

[majormajormajor]

I know what you mean about Watching Alice too. Shame when you were looking forward to it so much.

On this tour it's been all about the big noisy violent numbers for me rather than the ballads. Well those and Higgs Boson Blues.

that is a good thing. anyone else find the track 'push the sky away' exceedingly boring?

i was a hiiiiding all the way - brilliant last night!

i saw a girl up on someone's shoulders for 'deanna' - all the way on the right. wasn't thrown off either.

Um, no. I absolutely love that song! One of my favourites off the album. I love the lyrics. I don't really class it as a ballad though, I was thinking of the piano ballads.

Hiding All Away was ace! So pleased he didn't fuck up the lyrics this time. It was so cool when we got our wristbands and heard them soundchecking it! It was all I could do not to make a run for it through the foyer doors...

[russycarps]

heh I love push the sky away. We real cool on the otherhand......I was not sorry to see that ditched.

Hiding all away is so much better live than on record.

So really the songs we didnt get last night were I guess:

Abattoir blues

West Country Girl/or another rarer old song (eg nobodys baby now)

1 x random piano ballad

We real cool

Give us a kiss

I suppose if any songs had to go I'd pretty much have picked those (apart from west country or A.N Other)

[Zoo Music Girl]

Here's the setlist:

1. We No Who U R
2. Jubilee Street
3. Tupelo
4. Red Right Hand
5. Mermaids
6. Watching Alice
7. Higgs Boson Blues
8. Hiding All Away
9. The Mercy Seat
10. Stagger Lee
    (Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians cover)
11. Push the Sky Away
12. Encore:
13. Where the Wild Roses Grow
    (with Kylie Minogue)
14. From Her to Eternity
15. Into My Arms
16. Deanna

I'd say we also didn't get Papa Won't Leave You, Henry or Jack the Ripper. Most gigs have had one of those. Stranger Than Kindness popped up a fair bit too.

Gutted I never saw Nobody's Baby Now.

i must admit i've still yet to come close to fully penetrating the Bad Seeds' discography at all yet. aim to have a run through very soon. any suggestions on where to start? (i.e. best albums in people's opinions. think i may have asked this before but i went and forgot)

listening to Abattoir Blues at the moment (purely because it was first when listed alphabetically) and loving it so far

That's his finest in my view. I think your question's been answered earlier in this thread (65 pages, blimey!). Personally after AB I would go Let Love In, Tender Prey, and No More Shall We Part; but, the poor Nocturama aside, you can't go too far wrong.

Loved last night's show - found it hard to see how they could be better than the Sat at the Apollo but I reckon they managed it. Jubilee Street was absolutely perfect, and as has been said above, even staples like RRH, Deanna and Stagger Lee were better than ever. Amazing.

[Justiceforcedave]

Based on your photos I'm 100% confident it was my buddy on my shoulders so apologies for anyone that it irked, she wasn't up there long!

I was told that the curfew was going to be 10pm when I picked my ticket up.

^ This 100%

I think I can take part of the responsibility for the insane length of this thread, apologies. I can talk about the man forever it would seem.

My recommendations (again!):

Tender Prey

No More Shall We Part

Let Love In

to begin with.

Every album is good though. I even love Nocturama. I think the new album is my favourite right now - I can't get enough of it.

Sorry for calling your friend a rude word! Just don't think you can get on shoulders in a tiny gig like that. Besides you weren't directly in front of me, I just felt bad for the people behind her.

Thinking about it, how did you get in front of me anyway? Sounds like you were still boozing with jimmyt when I joined the queue!
