I watched this when it first aired, and taped the show. What this clip does not contain, unfortunately, is the footage of Letterman's comments of Nick and Mick's performance after returning from commercial. letterman states, "That was Nick Cave singing the beautiful and haunting, "I Had a Dream, Joe" with a smirk, proceeded by a big laugh from the crowd. When I watched this "live," I was incensed by Letterman's obvious dispatch of the performance. Oh how times change. Now, as we all know, Gat-T
Love this song, and I think this is a pretty cool version. Do not like the instrumentation here though; what's up with the silly organ-parts and the lead guitar? Is it only Cave and Harvey from the Bad Seeds who are playing here? This song is so raw, dirty and emotional, and I feel that most of this disappears with these washed up 90s organ parts.
Thanks a lot for the upload though! Cool to see a live version of this song.
