Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, concert review

[curgoth]

Opening band: Black Mountain?
At least 40 years too late to be interesting. Slow, and with more funk than I am
able to properly appreciate. A. Described as "Concrete Blond hearkening back to Led
Zeppelin. Too much wah-wah. "

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Energy! My socks were rocked. We got Red Right Hand,
The Weeping Song, Stagger Lee and a charged Deanna. We didn't get Time Jesum
Transeuntum, which did not surprise me.

Toronto crowds still suck. We are, as a city, afraid that someone cooler than us is
watching, and waiting to laugh at us. We don't dance, barely move, and don't make
much noise.

The Seattle show was very similar. The support there was Earth, who I quite liked for one song, but then the following 5 were excactly the same and it all left me longing for dynamics and energy, which Nick Cave and his crew were certainly not short of.

Seattle crowds don't dance much, but we do at least voice our appreciation.
