Wow! I'd love to have been there! Awesome show! One should say it's difficult to ruin such a masterpiece of a song, and still the best version's still the original by Brel, I think... Check also the wonderful Gavin Friday take on this one
1whitehorse1, that is HILLARIOUS! and yeah i agree, whats with the huge thing between his legs-was it really that big in his youth?? :O i want some...
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band also did a great version of this way back. I think it may have been on SAHB Live? Caves' voice is perfect for it too!
Barry never recorded this. This was a one-off gig where Barry invited guest musicians to play with him. He did loads of covers as well as some of his own tracks. It was fantastic.
This song was written by Jacques Brel. My favourite version (apart from this one) is performed by Scott Walker (although I'm not sure if that's the original). It's on Scott Walker sings Jacques Brel.
That's music, not "Bitchy" Spears, Madonna or Oasis. Barry Adamson is a good avant-garde musician. He also is a good bassist (one of my fav), since Magazine days.

Hi Milo, thanks for posting this, I've only heard it by Scott Walker and Marc Almond previously both of which I adore. I too was at the recent Nick gig in Brum... wasn't he just fantastic!! :)
Me too - The Brum gig! Excellent stuff. Plus Barry Adamson support! It doesn't get any better!
Have to say Get Ready For Love was brilliant! There was a bloke just one in front of me (2nd row from front) who recorded loads of the gig! I hope he puts it on - the footage was ace!
Yep - That's right. Was absolutely gutted! Hadn't banked on there being no support act. Still, I did get the previous night as a consolation, and the rest of that evening was ace!
wow this is awesome - great cover!!! one problem tho - i can't stop staring at nick's bulge...it's distracting...with his pornstache he'd make a great pornstar.
Nick Cave is STILL the sexiest man alive. This is the best version I've heard of the song, and I'm including Saint Engel in this (though it's close, but Cave brings the seediness demanded).
Wow that's amazing. Great vocal from Mr Cave. Must've been an amazing night.

Cave's crotch is mesmerizing

One of the many reasons for his success with women probably. His crotch hypnotises them.

Classic Cave, he's so underrated as is Barry. I love the album of covers they did.
