A fine and long performance by Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds. The band started back in September 1983 recording part of their first album "From Her To Eternity".

Nick was in an energetic mood, spitting and throwing his mic on the floor lots of times (you'll hear the 'pops'). They did many slow/soft songs which would have bene nicer at a theatre/sit down show.

I was at the sweet spot, but unfortunately lots of talkers as well, so I spent dodging them throughout the show. As much of their talks as possible I removed with CEP. The result it quite OK. About 5000 people attended.
