    I have seen hundreds of gigs in the past 37 years and I have seen Nick Cave now twice (2022 and this week in Oberhausen) and those are certainly amongst the best I have ever seen.
    His stage presence is out of this world and the band is fucking brilliant!

    In 1983 here in Australia I went to a local university hall and watched The Birthday Party and had the exact reaction you did. I have now seen him every tour since at least once and have never been disappointed. I can only say that you are in for a real treat when you witness the Mercy Seat live.
    Love your enthusiasm!
    BTW there is a documentary called Mutiny in Heaven about The Birthday Party I highly recommend anyone who is interested in Nick to watch.
    Cheers.

    I totally agree with you. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are always at the top of their game, but the Wild God experience is an incredible journey never experienced before.

    I went the 26. Nick has such amazing energy, the concert felt like a sermon, and it made me understand how religious people must feel. It felt personal, it sounded amazing and true.
    The only track I missed, and was hoping to hear in the encore is "Higgs Boson Blues", but at the same time I wouldn't know which track to leave out of the set list.
    Absolutely stellar, so glad I found out in time and decided to go.

    Could not agree more with your whole take on the concert we were at the ziggo dome on the friday night, it was astonishing how connected he was to the audience, aura, charisma, authenticity and a velvet voice. We left and immediately started looking for tickets in dublin where we live, thankfully we managed to get tickets and can't wait to see the show again in November. Thanks again for posting.

    Could'nt agree more, I was there too. It was the best concert I have ever attended, with his concert in Amsterdam 2019 second. Nick Cave truly has a mesmerizing stage presence. He is really the Priest of Rock, he gives his all (and his band too)

      @@top5records796 Sorry, I am mistaken, it was 2017. A great show, in support of Skeleton Tree. With Distant Sky as a standout, the beautiful voice of Else Torp echoing through the room. Nick announced that he would attend the same venue beginning 2020 again, in support of Ghosteen. It was cancelled due to Covid. We were so happy that we got to see him again though. The Wild God tour tops everything. There seems to be no limit to his creativity!

    Dankje well. Thanks a lot, bro. Saw Nick 2 days after his 67th birthday (don't know, whether he had a party) at Oberhausen at the tour opening. Third time after 1997 and 2014 that I saw him on stage. The new songs were performed with the Gospel choir in such a vibrant way - but they also got into the older songs in amazing ways. Tupelo with Colin Greenwood's bass line was even more of a wild drama than the song ever had been. His and particularly Warren Ellis' presence o stage: as you said: mesmerizing.

    Hey man, thanks for the review. I love your enthusiasm, which I totally share. However, I have to say that this was not my best concert ever, but my second best. The best concert ever for me has to be Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds live at Best Kept Secret Festival 2022. That concert was a 10+ for me, which makes this a 9 for me, even though I was standing almost front row. So you may ask wat made the Best Kept Secret so great? Well, beforehand there was this tension after the sudden passing away of NC’s second son, just a month prior to the concert. I guess many people would have guessed he’d cancel the show. Then, there was the setting: the beautiful summer weather, attending a concert on a warm summer night while the sun sets… just awesome. There was the audience, which where clearly not all Nick Cave fans, and he completely won the crowd over. The the set… the songs from Ghosteen are just a bit more intimate that those on Wild God (which I also love live). Nick was repeating words of songs throughout the concert as a mantra: crycrycry… boomboomboom (feel my heartbeat, putting the hands of audience members on his chest), justbreathejustbreathejustbreathe… look it up, it was truly magnificent. The set ended with Ghosteen Speaks, where he has the whole audience rhythmically lifting their arms as if in a mass. To me, that did not just feel like an end of the shoe, but a resolution from all the tension built up. But hey, this was just my experience. I’m glad you enjoyed the show and I fully agree with everything you said. Let’s just agree he is one of the very best performers alive in this time, and as far as I am concerned he is at a peak moment. What can come after this?

    Helemaal eens met je recensie ook wat betreft Red Right Hand. Zijn uitvoering daarvan bij Best Kept Secret 2022 kort na het overlijden van zijn 2e zoon was veel intenser. En compliment voor het publiek nu in de Ziggo, ik vond iedereen zeer respectvol naar Nick en iedereen op het podium

    I'm going to hear him and the band twice in Copenhagen next weekend. I will do my best to get a front row spot, so could you please tell me for how long the support act Dry Cleaning were playing?
    Did Nick Cave go on stage exactly an hour after doors opened?

    • @mrpejus
      @mrpejus Місяць тому +1

      In my experience (was there Thursday and have been to Cave before) he is always right on time. If you want a front row place, however, I advise you to go in the moment the doors open.

    • @top5records796

    I think some kind of the presence of The Holy Spirit for so long the heart is looking for The Lord with an honesty of feelings of suffering and the reaction of the human heart on this and the beautiful gospel choir uplifting. Read his book Hope, Faith and Carnage 😊. You have a great vinyl collection behind you ;-)
