Free Music Review: North Americans Can See/Hear What They Missed...
Hit: 5 Stars
I usually don't start reviews like this...but I can't get over the price for Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds' The Abbatoir Blues Tour 2DVD/2CD set. For around 25 clams, you get quite a few selections from two Bad Seeds concerts in London, a video documentary, a short film on the recording of the double LP, a bunch of promotional videos, and a 2CD live set from the Seeds' 2004 tour...this is a ridiculously good deal.
Nick Cave opted not to tour the Abbatoir record to N. America, which is regrettable for two reasons:
1. Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus, along with The Boatman's Call, is Cave's best work to date.
2. Now that I see what audiences missed, I am pissed and jealous. These concerts are brilliant...
Cave's work, even the exquisitely beautiful ballads, always have a hint of something sinister beneath the surface. In concert, Cave brings that intangible quality out into the light like he's performing some demonic sermon...only Tom Waits does this balancing act of "beautiful maladies" better. This is a "must have" collection for any fan of Cave, some of these songs were meant for a live performance..."Carry Me," "Stagger Lee," and "Sad Waters" come to mind as beneficiaries of the Seeds' live act...and folks, I'm just talking about the DVDs. The 2CD set clocks in at approx. 90 minutes and every seong is riveting...I wish more songs made it onto this record because the band is in fine form. The set list is a mix of old gems like "Red Right Hand" and "The Weeping Song" sprinkled among the best of the Abbatoir record including "Let The Bells Ring," "O Children" (which leads of cd 1 and was so good, it locked me into my chair for the rest of the disc), and "Breathless." This is one of the few live collections I would recommend to someone only slightly familiar with an artist's work. I want to give this as a gift to people I want to learn about the Seeds...it is brilliant.
