Nick Cave!
Oct. 3rd, 2008 11:56 amWe managed to score babysitting on Wednesday night so we could see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at the Kool Haus. Cave was one of the things the Sweetie and I bonded over when we first met, and we never miss an opportunity to see him live.
The set Wednesday was a lot sloppier than usual--the Bad Seeds are usually an incredibly tight outfit, but Cave seems to have entered a phase where he's going for energy over finesse--but even so, it was a pretty darn powerful performance. (I still miss long-time Seed, Blixa Bargeld, though. Blixa left the band a few albums ago, much to my chagrin. Blixa and Nick on stage together was a wonderful, wonderful thing.)
Anyway, to celebrate, here's a link to Cave performing Red Right Hand at Glastonbury in 1998. It is possibly my favourite Cave song ever (I'd love to vid it, but the bastard is 6:30 long) but even better is the fact that I was in the audience for this performance. (Squint really hard and maybe you can see me and the Sweetie, over there, off to the left. *g*)
