This might sound a bit self-indulgent, and I\u2019d be lying if I said it wasn\u2019t. However, it turned out to be one of the best concerts I\u2019ve seen in a long time. The questions ranged anywhere from lighthearted exploration of Cave\u2019s rockstar history (\u201cwhat was it like hanging out with Leonard Cohen?\u201d) to life advice (\u201chow can I find love?\u201d) to deeply personal topics (\u201chow did the death of your son impact your views on religion?\u201d). One guy even proposed to his fianc\u00e9e, which was immediately followed by a gorgeous rendition of \u201cInto My Arms\u201d (the only fitting song for such a moment in Cave\u2019s discography). Overall, the audience came up with a good mix of questions, all of which Nick answered thoughtfully and generously. The setlist was top-notch, mixing essential touchstones (\u201cThe Ship Song\u201d, \u201cO Children\u201d) with a generous helping of deep cuts (\u201cShoot Me Down\u201d, \u201cWest Country Girl\u201d) and eclectic covers (T. Rex\u2019s \u201cCosmic Dancer\u201d, Roland Howard\u2019s \u201cShivers\u201d). Cave\u2019s stripped-down piano renditions worked fantastically, whether the song was already suited to such a format or had been creatively re-arranged to fit it. While I\u2019d still love to see a full-scale Bad Seeds performance, this turned out to be an extremely satisfying night with one of my favorite musicians of all time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Conversations With Nick Cave&#8221; lasted three hours, with no intermission, split 50\/50 between solo piano numbers and questions from random audience members.
