Nick Cave

[Zoo Music Girl]

Thanks Rebecca

would of been straight into Amsterdam if it was Paradiso, my favourite place. Need to look at pennies but think we should just go for it anyway.

Options are:-

London

Glasgow

Edinburgh

Amsterdam

Stockholm

Hamburg

Munich

Dusseldorf

Luxemburg

Antwerp

Would of gone for Stockholm if not so close to that horrible word (Christmas)

Ha, I hear you - dreading the C word too!

Well if money's tight and you're not going already then London is a good option. But if it were me I'd use the opportunity to go somewhere new so Germany, Luxembourg, Amsterdam... Depends where you've been really. Paris probably cheapest 'abroad' option?

I'd love to see a band in a different country, particularly Nick, just to see how it would differ. Only been to one festival in Ireland and I suspect the crowd there was quite like a British one.

Think we'll probably do Edinburg due to pennies and make a weekend of it. If had a bit more notice would go further afield. 2 fixes in a week is good tho.

Saw Mr Cave at Primavera which was different but special. Best one for me is Paradiso in Amsterdam, all new bands festival called London calling

[Zoo Music Girl]

Primavera in Portugal or Spain? My friend was in Portugal, said it was incredible. He also had him on his plane on the way over!

[Moon Monkey]

It was Barcelona, amazing. Great place.

I think I'd probably annoy the hell out of him if I was on the same plane:)

lovely stuff. No stagger lee or jubliee street on it though is surprising

[Zoo Music Girl]

Far From Me is an interesting addition. Has that been doing the rounds lately?

[carlosj]

Cheers carlosj - not heard about this! Why is the tracklisting all squiffy though?

Sorry, I edited it, and then the tabled tracklisting became a list. Never noticed it until you said. Squiffy, like my eyesight. I need to go home :-)

[Zoo Music Girl]

I think we all feel a bit squiffy now and again.

[jamesrfisher]

For some reason Nick Cave managed to escape my attention. My wife bought Abattoir blues and I also have Push The Sky Away which I really like. Was blown away by his performance at Glastonbury and am really looking forward to tomorrow night in Brighton.

Would be grateful for some recommendations from the back catalogue.

Thanks

[russycarps]

Tender prey

Let love in

Though he hasn't got a bad album

[Zoo Music Girl]

What they said. I would bump No More Shall We Part up both lists though.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Do you reckon? I think I did it quite early on in my exploration.

I like what you did to your signature by the way. Not convinced you need the apostrophe though!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yes it just means the Manics made an error rather than you! You should put a little (sic) after it.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Sorry, I guess I'm pretty anal too! Actually never noticed that error until now. Pretty shameful on their part.

I think I came at Cave in a bit of a backwards manner. I had no guidance from learned Cave fans to assist me.

[Zoo Music Girl]

No comment

[Zoo Music Girl]

Well done! That's a bloody good deal

When is the Manchester gig?

[russycarps]

Manchester ticket booked! 43p over face value paid. Patience is indeed a virtue! Nearly paid 60 last week.

Lovely stuff.

I'm not going to remember a single thing about saturdays gig. Seeing a band on a saturday night is a rare treat

Indeed! I'm going to try not to get too drunk but my friends will be a bad influence as ever. Thankfully I can fill in the gaps on the Sunday. That's the beauty of going three times! Although the Koko gig will be one to remember.

Did you sell one of your tickets then?

Yep, saturday is going to me a massive piss up and down the front, monday a 4 pinter and koko I will just have 1 pint I reckon.

Yeh, I have someone I am gonna sell the sunday one to. 3 nights in a row then the following sunday is too much!

Watch sunday be full of B sides and rarities now though....

Well, I'll let you know It would be tempting to lie to you and say it was but I know you'd be on your setlist website like a shot.

The Koko thing is tricky. I'd like to stay relatively sober but you have to be in Camden between 3 and 6.30 to get a wristband. My mate and I will blatantly go straight to the pub afterwards.

[Zoo Music Girl]

If any's gonna have B sides and rarities won't it be the Koko one? That's why I nearly thought of going there instead of Manchester.

Nearly thought of going there? Didn't you sit here waiting for that email with the rest of us....?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Alright, I'll let you off

There was no way of passing those tickets on by the way. Someone offered me the opportunity but the system was unbreakable.

I suspect the sat, sun and mon gigs will all be near enough the same, with only the piano-ballad changing. I dont really mind which of those I get...but yes, I will be all over my beloved setlist website so dont even think about any stitch ups!

You think the koko gig will be a standard 9pm start then?? I assumed it will be 7 or 7.30 tops. You think they will do more than one take of songs etc to make sure it's perfect? I havent really thought about it until this second really.

If any's gonna have B sides and rarities won't it be the Koko one? That's why I nearly thought of going there instead of Manchester.

Yep. Koko is gonna be the one that makes you weep into your frosties when you read about it on monday morning...
