Saw Nick Cave last night. It's been a while since I saw him, maybe since Skeleton Tree tour.  His voice felt a bit tired last night; jact lacking a bit of his gutteral energy for the classics, but still fun as always. He teased it all night, but no Stagger Lee.

He has like 15 people up there now so it’s more like a carefully staged production. I doubt there will be any variation in the set list for the US.

I have heard that one of the tricks of the trade is to put everything into the newer songs. The classics sell themselves and people are so happy to hear them that in general they don’t notice a musician holding a little back. I didn’t notice much difference but I was busy gorging my senses. But yeah in a two and a half hour full on performance with you as the focus of every eyeball you are going to pick your spots to rest or let up a little so wouldn’t surprise me.

I WAS surprised at how relatively passive Warren Ellis was….

I read that recently (2023) Nick Cave said he is now a Christian. This show was like a cathartic religious service. He sure has traveled a long ways from the Cramps like scuzz punk of the Birthday Party.

I would be ok never hearing Into my arms again but it had to close the show.

100% agree. I  started heading to the door as soon as he went to the piano for that one.

High current and former bordie attendance at the nick caved show

Challenged, Vas and K8 all turned up

Really was a great show
I agree I have heard in to my arms enough for the rest of my life
I would have melted on the spot if he played stagger Lee. 


I did love a lot of the set, but some of the recent stuff are just so slow and droning.. unlike shows of of the past that were non stop intensity

I thought Warren was doing a fine job up there
But the way Nick had the stage, he was about 20 feet behind and got kinda lost
But he was doing some fun guitar and violin solos


Papa and from her were the pablum I needed
I thought jubilee street was amazing

Jose Andres, was so cool! He's just some crazy passionate chef with a different soul than the chefs we see on television, who's hung with Anthony Bourdain, Nora Pouillon, Patrick O’Connell and so many other masters. He sat most of the time rambling on about the most awesome stories and morales of life. He was funny, then serious poignant and someone who came off so strange to me to hear of a human, who just wants to help others, no matter who they are, because they are humans.

And I found a Washington Blade machine! I haven't seen one of those in ages. I almost felt like I was back at Tracks DC.
