Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mediolanum Forum, Milan, Italy
6th November 2017

The fourth and final show on my little European odyssey. Unlike previous shows, I have a seat, not just any seat but one more or less as far away from the stage as possible, and stuck in a corner too. I may actually be closer to Rome. Surprisingly the recording has turned out really well despite this. The main problem is the detachment from proceedings. Screens assist with views and thereÕs a powerful PA but itÕs the distant cries and screams from the audience at the front, which gives away my distant location. Despite it being a sell out show, the standing area on the main floor looks only three quarters full, with a huge void from the mixing desk back to us in the seats opposite the stage.

Enough moaning. Another great show from Mr Cave and his talented band of musicians. You know the set list by now.

Not sure how quick my speeds are at this hotel or if IÕll be able to upload without any problems. If there are any problems I am back home on Wednesday.

Enjoy
