Fucking great show! It's been ten long years since I last saw Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in concert (at the 9:30 Club), and it was worth the wait. Of course, I'd rather not have waited so long. His 2001 tour (which I had a ticket to) was canceled because of 9/11, and I was out of town when he came back in 2002, I think. Anyway, it's been too long. That 1998 show was one of the best I've ever seen, and tonight's show didn't disappoint. I finally got to hear "Papa Won't Leave You, Henry" in concert, and that was a definite highlight for me. Been waiting 16 years for that. I love that song so fucking much that I want to marry it and have five ugly children with it. "The Mercy Seat," "Deanna," and a blistering "Stagger Lee" to close the night. Awesome.
