Plain Gold Ring - Nick Cave

[mangouldbarrington1]

This ain't nothing compared to Nina Simone's version.

I'm confused, There's one that kimbqra sings and it sounds just like this, so she coppied it? I thought she wrote it herself...

[veganworld]

SOS! Does anyone have a video of this performance?! I'd love to see Nick's psychosis in the middle of this amazing song!

[BOERUSGENIUS]

I do not understood that strange eye in the mountain, min..1,30 subliminal ad ??

[gregdullirocks]

It's Nick, forgive the overdubbing...This is fkn awesome

[pelevin100]

wunderhübsch LOVEVA

[switchfish24]

Good Job !!! Cave everybody now,but clip the first

[aebipesche85]

Help me now for a sec: Do you guys also hear Nick in the background at 02:42 - 02:44? Sounds like 2 Nicks. Don´t get me wrong, i love Nick Cave, but that sounds pretty overdubbed... Wouldn´t be that tragic, lot of Bands do that.

I have the Album since 1995 and never noticed it.

Well I don't think it's that serious as you think. He's done this in some 'I Let Love In' performances just to create a better atmosphere.

I think we can include this in his desire for perfection.. and he finds every way to achieve it.

[aebipesche85]

I just wanted to point it out. I understand all those choices, when it comes to Live-recordings.

[RedLeftFist]

Alright, it was worth notice ; )

[staggersu]

i hear it too, never had put atention to it if you didn't point it so exactly on the timing as you did..

good ears you have..

greetings staggersu

I believe that the two Nicks you are hearing in that break at 2:42 is not an overdub, but a pre-echo that is characteristic of recording on analog tape.

When a tape is wound on its reel, each wrap prints through to the next layer by means of a low level transfer of magnetic fields, over time seeping a faint copy of the audio.

You can usually only hear this echo when there's a silence or break, as we have here in this piece.

Hope that helps.

Well, faint copy in the original Live Seeds? Shame on them! It seems right though.

[pearcaravel]

@RedLeftFist No shame at all, no trickery --it's truly just a natural occurrence of sound recording.

[amyjeaninstilettos]

@aebipesche85

Could be blixa - they both have (somewhat) similar vocals?

[ZEYSamon]

@aebipesche85 it is Blixa!!!

[aebipesche85]

@ZEYSamon No, it isn`t.

[cowboystitching]

Ahhhhh I used to love this until the CD vanished.

[goystersauce]

i like this nick's ver. very much.

very impressive.

i could knew nina simone through this LIVE SEEDS ver.

by the way ,he's always wearing very plain gold ring,isn't it?

[RedLeftFist]

Hehe yes, I think he usually does :)

[FrostedFen]

I thought Nick Cave's version of Simone's I put a spell on....was incredible but this version of Simone's song is almost supernatural!

[iwasbornin87]

that was incredible, thank you for putting this up!

[RedLeftFist]

Well, better thank Nick for unanticipatedly singing this song at a live in 1992 :)
