Up Jumped The Devil! Jealous. Amazing (and very long) setlist.

[russycarps]

wow would love to see a lot of those songs! were they all ballad versions with him at the piano?

Though the link to the setlist shows a shorter set of songs (20, no sad waters for example )

Lyre of Orpheus seems a strange choice to end on!

saw his 2013 glasto set (no i wasnt waiting for mumford) & wasnt really impressed. this thread made me try a few songs on youtube since & still dont get it. pretty boring IMO

that said there seems to be loads of closet take that fans these days, what do i know

damn that 2013 was one of my all time best glastonbury gigs. funny how people can have such different views.

I know a few people that dont like him at all though, his voice isnt for everyone. I'm guessing you youtubed more of his ballad-y songs rather than his livelier stuff if you found him boring. I can see how the latest album can be called boring too in fairness.

the only tune i remember off the top of my head is Jubilee street, from Glasto. the youtube ones i couldnt tell ya, theres been a few attempts, pure random click a vid

[Michaels denim shorts]

i dont really have a favourite glasto gig. i dont have a fantastic record of seeing main stage stuff

2011- Queens of the stoneage, last band on sunday, i felt i should see something

2013, Nick cave, Bit of the stones, Elvis Costello (although i was asleep for half of it)

2014, Dolly, Manics & the wailors

Just your average Wednesday then...

I'd love to hear sad waters live

So would I OJL, as Russy had pointed out the link has changed. I posted it without checking! I have checked it now and it looks more correct. Still a great set though.

If you think that Wednesday was an average one, I'd best not tell you about my Friday... I certainly better not tell Zoo Music Girl

so were all the songs done as piano ballad arrangements?

[Superscally]

It sort of alternated between Nick on the piano solo, though him on the piano with varying degrees of band intervention. From Her To Eternity was fairly meaty, Red Right Hand, Jack the Ripper, Lyre of Orpheus, Up Jumped the Devil and Jubilee Street slightly stripped back (apart from the very end of JS), but the rest were either rightfully low key or pretty novel solo versions. Mercy Seat was one of those wonderful ones. Best version I've heard.

[Osama Jim Laden]

sounds really nice.. saw him do a 'solo' set years ago with martyn, warren & jim.. remember him belting out tupelo and stagger lee then along with those, as you say stripped down versions..

mind you he did make the entire crowd grown at the opening bar of rock of gibraltar..

ooooof you poor bastards

[Zoo Music Girl]

Go on Scally, make me jealous...

[Superscally]

How do I attach a video file on here?

[Superscally]

By jove! I've only gone and done it... First ever upload to youtube

Sorry about the gash video quality/lighting, the win is in the audio.

[Osama Jim Laden]

Nice one scally

[Superscally]

Ta man. I dunno if you can tell, but my heart was pounding as I asked that!

[Zoo Music Girl]

Haha! Great question! He even says so.

I like how you said it was off the record and then posted it online...

I very nearly asked a question at the Tender Prey film Q&A but then bottled it and just asked one to the directors instead. A compromise!

[Superscally]

Ha, if he said that he'd laid waste to thousands, I'd have kept it to myself and left the the cinema very quickly :-D what did you ask?

[Zoo Music Girl]

I asked the directors (of the Tender Prey film they made, but the same peeps) if it was difficult to decide whether or not to put themselves in the film as talking heads?

I'll be honest, I just wanted to grab Cave's attention...

Well done you anyway and a very happy 2015!

Sad news, I am now unable to go to Nick Cave at the Royal Albert hall so I've got 2 tickets going at face value (£140 the pair) if anyone wants them

It's the 3rd of May, good seats, Stalls K, row 3

DM me if you're interested
