I turned to my friend and said, "he is only three songs in and he has already earned his money." I feel blessed to have been there. It was my first Nick Cave show and I would travel far and wide to see him again. Apparently he and the Bad Seeds give it their all each time out, and the level and intensity of performance we were so fortunate to experience is the standard. (I know this because I have been thinking about the show all week and obsessively reading and watching everything I can find on the internet related to Nick Cave.) I got to go backstage but was rendered stupid, deer in headlights-like, in his presence and didn't get the buddy-buddy photo I thought I wanted. I did get to thank him, though. Wow.

Sue me. The blog post and the one respondent so far, plus the memory of the show, all have me exhausted for words to describe it. It will go down as one of the six or seven most memorable concerts of my life. This is a band that was formed in 1983, mind you. They are now at the top of their game. Nick Cave was like a cross between Jim Morrison and Iggy Pop, except that he kept his clothes on and stayed sober throughout. The band (a glorious rock orchestra, more like it), was positively brilliant. Two drummers creating thunderous polyrhythms behind a by-turns deftly subtle and manic frontline of guitars and keys, all finely tuned to the ebbs and crushing waves of Nick Cave's theatric yet deeply literary onslaught. One felt blessed to be in the presence of this performance. Oh, what a night. As much as I hate to use the word “ditto,” I can’t help it. Sue me.

Crazy loud too. In addition to the songs Rodney cited, "Moonland," "The Lyre of Orpheus" and "Stagger Lee" were also mind-blowingly great. Yep, this show was awesome. Crazy loud too.
