A Ten Tonne Catastrophe / The Nick Cave Thread

[LetMeSleep]

I must say this is rather tempting.

[Simple Torture]

I'd love to go, but there's no way I can buy tickets for something next June. That feels like a million years away.

[Kevin Davis]

Auditorium Theater the day after my birthday. Maybe I can someone to buy tickets for me.

I'm tempted, but I feel like this will be a very subdued tour, which I'm not really into. I doubt it could live up to when I saw him on the Dig Lazarus Dig tour.

Really wish i got to see that tour.

Where is he playing Denver? Some theater?

[Simple Torture]

If this brand of music about a kid who fell to his death tragically doesn't fit for you, you could always just go to an Eric Clapton concert.

[LoathedVermin72]

Paramount Theater. Haven't been there yet.

[LetMeSleep]

I saw him w/ Bad Seeds in 96 and it was amazing. Saw the Boatman's Call tour which was him solo and it was good.

Its a lovely little theater. I actually quite enjoy that area of downtown

[Kevin Davis]

For what it's worth, I went to the "Push the Sky Away" tour thinking it was going to be a relatively tame show, and it was wild. I can't imagine he'd put on anything less than an awesome show.

[Meddle]

I've only listened to Dig, Lazarus, Dig. Where do I go next? I'm going to check out Skeleton Tree, but is there something that's essential? Maybe something that's on the heavier side and not subdued.

If you like DLD, check out Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus next.

Oh and be sure to listen to Grinderman, too.

[LoathedVermin72]

Tender Prey, Henry's Dream, and Let Love In are the other essential records if you dig Lazarus, IMO.

Definitely.

Which of their albums should I start with?

[Kevin Davis]

"Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus" is my favorite. There is also some fun stuff on "Dig Lazarus Dig" that would probably be pretty enjoyable to a first-timer (like the title track and "More News from Nowhere").

I would say the greatest hits collection he put out like 16 years ago is really good.

I am adding those to Spotify now. Thankee, sai.
