![]() ![]() At that point I hadn't heard the new album yet (it was delivered to me on the same morning) but some youtube excerpts seemed to point to a rather depressing bunch of slow songs. Cave the grief-stricken father, perhaps? The shocking story of his 15-year old son Arthur's death (he fell off a cliff after taking LSD with a schoolmate) had dominated Cave-related news in the last years, and this tour is the first after that personal tragedy. So when I entered Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome on October 6, I didn't know who to expect. I've seen Cave the self-destructive junkie, Cave the bible-wielding madman and fantastical murderer, Cave the troubadour of love, Cave the damned poet, Cave the singer of the underworld, even Cave the mid-life crisis hard rocker (about the time he also took to wearing a 70's pimp moustache). This was the 6th or 7th Nick Cave concert I've witnessed in a period of 30 years. ![]()
