I was fortunate when I got tickets to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at the Warfield touring for And No More Shall We Part... But then I found a very lightly publicized event...
Nick Cave and A Piano at the Palace Of Fine Arts.
This will go down in my life as one of the absolute greatest live events I have seen.
Nick Cave, his notebook, a piano, and a lot of cigarettes.
Watching one of the greatest songwriters chain smoke his way through about two hours of his material... even taking requests... in front of only a few hundred people. Myself included. Chills.
This is that experience, just about, except I wasn't there... some 19 years later.
An intimate and quietly mesmerising livestream event revelled in the range of Cave’s rich back catalogue

I almost wet myself when I saw this... And without further ado:
I hope some of you will enjoy this.
