Nick Cave

[Zoo Music Girl]

Gah! Just posted a really long post and lost it. Gig was short but sensational. Best versions of those songs I've ever seen. Every song the best ever.

Red Right Hand, Tupelo, Watching Alice (Russy must have come in his pants!), Where The Wild Roses Grow (with Kylie! Incredible! No sign of Russy's pants), Stagger Lee, Higgs Boson Blues, Jubilee Street, We No Who U R, From Her To Eternity (MY GOD), Deanna, Into My Arms, Hiding All Away, Push The Sky Away...

Best gig of my life. Short but so so sweet.

Chemistry between Kylie and Nick insane! Sexiest thing I've ever seen.

Great gig. Not as good as the Apollo gigs for me. Nice to hear watching Alice. Embarrassing amount of camera phones came out for Kylie. Was a novelty but a poor rendition of the song, much preferred it with blixa. Thought nicks voice was a bit out for from her to eternity and deanna afterwards, probably due to his erection

Why was it such a short gig?

[Justiceforcedave]

Had to for a piss - sorry Dave, lovely to meet you - which I had with Tim Minchin. Who says Nick Isn't populist?!!

No worries dude, thanks for the beer. I owe you one back (when you get your Glasto tickets). Great fucking gig!

No 'Midnight Man'

The man is an absolute master though. Such genius. When they play 'Jubilee Street' early on you wonder how they'll top it... But it is all so, so good.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I'm not sure why it was short but I preferred it to the Apollo gigs personally. Thought all the songs sounded better by far.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Every version of every song tonight topped previous performances. For me. Absolutely insanely good.

And he was wearing gold lame!

[Justiceforcedave]

Midnight Man was on the list as well

I utterly agree. He looked like he was friends with Moz during the NFD fiasco.

Didn't they urge people not to record at this gig in the rules of the entry ballot thing as well? A bit shite that people couldn't resist, with a pro-shot video of it a few weeks away.

[jimmyt]

Oh, and Russy - admit that Kylie's appearance was brilliant (because it was) despite it causing all the tourists to break rank and start photographing it.

[jimmyt]

So, what the bezeezus am I supposed to talk about on here now? No effing ticket for next year and all Nick gigs done - do I become a lurker? It's very weird feeling like you're no longer a member of a club you've been in for quite a few years.

[russycarps]

it was definitely a 'wow' moment, but was a pretty poor rendition of the song. I was quite shocked by the crowds reaction more than anything

Just reinforces my view that people are knobheads, even Nick cave fans

[Justiceforcedave]

Kylie... looked stunning, not sure how old she is or how much work she's had done but she looked hot to trot.

[jimmyt]

I know what you mean but it was still brilliant. I thought the gig was better than last week, If only because the people were there for the music not just hipsters trying to be as cool as us!

I have decided there should be a 95 minute version of Jubilee Street made available for my funeral (to be played straight after Babe, I'm On Fire (which is clearly being held back for his surprise appearance at my birthday party in a couple of weeks).

Have I mentioned how much I hate fucking trains?! Can't wait to be home for a smoke, a bot of JS then bed before teaching our future tomorrow.

She remains perfection.

Oh my God, Jimmyt, I am so with you man. What the fuck do we do now? Horrifying prospect.

I thought tonight was absolutely incredible. It's annoying it was short and Nick's warning didn't help (I was hoping for longer if anything) but I thought they absolutely killed it. I was further back than at Hammersmith but the smaLl venue made it so intense and awesome and great. I loved every minute. What an absolute legend. He ruins you for eveything else!

[russycarps]

Jubilee street is just stupidly good. None of their songs gives me as much pleasure as that one. What other artist is there that writes their best song after fifteen albums?? It's insane really

[Justiceforcedave]

I need to get myself an Efestivals T for identification at future gigs!

Goosebumps everytime!

A future set closer for sure.

There are so few artists prepared to experiment far enough to improve. Nick transcends normality which is why he can achieve such artistry despite his years.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I absolutely love Jubilee Street (fucking insane tonight) but it pales for me next to FHTE. But songs from both ends of a career being so good! Amazing.

So jimmyt and justiceforcedave met up then? I think you may have broken he first rule of Nick Cave Club.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I thought Stagger Lee was awesome tonight. Best I've seen it in years. I could say the same for Deanna and RRH though. Incredible stuff.

[russycarps]

Never seen so many people open mouthed at Glastonbury than during jubilee street.

Nick made out like it wasnt his decision for it to be a short gig. It makes no sense at all.

Fucking Kylie. Jesus
