Wiggy wrote: I reckon Nick Cave at The Electric Ballroom in Camden, 1984, was really important to a 17 year old who had missed seeing The Birthday Party - I think this was Cave's first live outing since the split. He had had a track out as Nick and The Cavemen on an NME compilation tape (covering "I put a spell on you") but I think they used "Bad Seeds" as their namer on the night. I think it was advertised as Cavemen. It was filmed for Spanish TV too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgNoJsm9jUw though unfortunately it isn't the full gig. & the debut was actually at the Fridge Brixton a few days earlier supporting Nina Hagen. I missed that gig but did see the Electric Ballroom one. I think there are recorded sets from the whole Cavemen tour. Got some of them from Dime. From the Archives http://www.fromthearchives.com/nc/chronology.html is very good on the Bad Seeds live history, same with Birthday party, Gun Club and a few others.

Television around fifteen years ago in Vicar Street in Dublin. Just to see them play something that was practically the holy grail of a style guitar music that I love and the root of so much else that I like. Marc Almond around five or six years ago at the electric picnic festival. Simply because he was so surprisingly and joyously good. Julian Cope in Belfast Castle around 1993 - small venue and a great and charismatic set list. Although, I think it is in the liner notes for autogeddon that he describes himself as sick at the time of the gig. Still brilliant.

AW... KC, xxxxx When i first posted this, some of you will know what a horrible year this was for me, but seeing those replies (and the new ones) have been so uplifting, yet again. Managed a trip down to Lundun on Tues to see Thunder at The Hammersmith Apollo and their support, Cats in Space. So feel free to ridicule and tease. Keep rockin' n rollin'. xxxxx
