I first heard this track on John Peel (much missed) before it was released, sitting in a mate's car while he was scoring. It just left me totally cold. the most intense effect any track has ever had on me. it's still just as amazing now. Probably the best track ever recorded. Listen to the studio version - yes, it is on soulseek!
I think I was there. I certainly saw Nick Cave in Camden around this time. I remember it as an extraordinary gig, with a real sense of danger. This doesn't disabuse me of that notion.
Most intense and extraordinary song he ever wrote - which is saying something.
I was there too, you are right about the 'sense of danger'... the tension was tangible and it was so fucking hot......I missed some of the gig as I had to get out for a while....it's rather embarrassing to admit that now!
Wow. This is pretty much my favorite song ever. I wish I was there to see this. Too bad I was 11 and had no idea of The Birthday Party for 4 more years...
i think my chest is about to explode. this is one of a kind, and up there with cave's best works. no other song could do justice the self-destruction of TBP.
Incredible to find this on YouTube! Got some of this gig off Soulseek once - rare as fuck I might add, even Nick Cave Collector's Hell don't seem to know it exists - but never got this song. Actual footage! Of Mutiny! You fuckin rule!
What I had though was .flac audio files, and I've no idea where the hell they've gone. I converted two to mp3 at some stage: Avalanche (starts with Carmina Buruna) and Cabin Fever. Do you have videos of all the rest of this gig as well?
Well i have uploaded Well of Misery, but as far as Cabin Fever and Avalanche i could not find them anywhere..Anyway i think there are some more videos of this gig in youtube (In the Ghetto etc.)...

I've never used Soulseek, but I'd be tempted to figure it out if this stuff is still available there... Is it?

When exactly was this? Theres Blixa,Mick on Drums and B.Adamson there but who is doing backing vox??
thesliotar 3 years ago
This has to be late '83..Nick's band was still called The Cavemen and the other guy on vocals and guitar is Hugo Race.
