Cave is one of those performers that I have never seen live but want to before I die (or he dies). I think Nocturama is ok, but is absolutely blown away by the past couple records

I think Erik was at that one, and I think he’s on the same wave-length as you in that regard (though it’s far from my place to speak for the guy)

Nick Cave at the State Theater around 2001 or whenever that was still ranks as one of my favorite few shows of all time.

I didn’t get into Nocturama as much as I probably should have, considering how much I enjoyed these and Lazarus (though I think I enjoy Lazarus the most out of these mentioned here). There were definitely some great songs on that though: Bring it On, Rock of Gibraltar & I think my favorite might be Babe, I’m On Fire.

This is where I kind of dropped off following Nick Cave, or I guess I should say Nocturama was the last thing I have heard. I should really check into this one still.

In revisiting the albums I seem to prefer Lyre of Orpheus… it might not roll as fluid, but the songs seem to stay with me longer. Great commentary on them both!
