    Holy crap that was aboslutely wonderful.
    I've not heard anything from Nick Cave & Co. for long years. The music is different from what it was. Most artists turn to crap in time, but a very few get better and better. Tom Petty just kept getting better, and so has Cave, but his evolution is really something at which to marvel. That he lost one of his boys stabs at me most viciously. That he sings with such... suchness... I can only admire this. These musicians are wonderful and they seem as good human beings as well, which is not that common in that business... All the more reason to treasure the music and those who make it.
    This performance has had quite the effect on me and I am thankful for it because it made me feel a little less alone. So thanks from my heart.

    I would like to thank God for directing me to mark lanegan many many years ago. My band has been covering a song by The screaming trees since the soundtrack for the movie singles hit the shelves. I love Queens of the Stone Age, so 8 or 10 years ago I started to investigate Mark's solo career. It's quite vast and took until this summer to get to a song called Brompton Oratory and last week I found myself on a desperate mission to find a version on youtube with lyrics so I could learn it and perform it at karaoke as I've liked throwing the all young'ns and mainstreamers little nuggets of independent and underground gold they'd have never heard. When I searched and dug through 5 dif downlouds or so I didn't have to go down that rabbit hole too far. In fact it was more towards the enterence when I came across a version by a guy named Nick Cave. A name I'd heard tossed around through the yrs by my 3 older more intellectual brothers. And so here the true rabbit is burrowed. And so begins a new, no doubt wonderful journey. As if Nick passed Mark a proverbial torch which his handed right back to fans like myself. And the cycle keeps spinning. The neverending wheel baby.

      Lanegan featured in the band Nick and Warren put together for the Lawless soundtrack, called The Bootleggers, he sang a few songs .. Warren has also played on his solo stuff I think, he posted a shocked message online when Lanegan passed away saying he couldn’t believe the news.

    Yes thanks ABC a million times for sharing this for free :)
    Like many of you folks, I often feel the world’s a pretty messed-up place, and then seeing something like this reminds me of a few things that make life very much worth living; that rapturous human spirit needs only the slightest encouragement to show itself fully; and that although horror and darkness is so widely reported, that we got to be alive when Nick & Warren are alive, making art like this, exhorting us to LIVE FULLY, and not in isolation.
    I believe this is what we’re meant to aspire to. ❤

    Such a powerful gathering. The music. The natural setting. The respect from the crowd towards the stage and each other. The people unseen who do all the heavy lifting for this to happen. The deep connection with the man, the artist and the history within us we all share no matter what our background is.
    I am beside you.
    You are beside me.
    Our friends are gathered here.
    Those we do know and those that we will never know.
    Yet we can all be friends.
    Bless you Nick.
    And Warren.
    And all who put this on.

Imagine the rest. Cave even had to stop playing cause it happene right in front of him.
