Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - 09. Jack The Ripper

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, live at the Cologne, Germany Bizarre Festival, 1996. Pro-shot, and a pretty great gig. Highlights include a hilarious performance of Where The Wild Roses Grow, featuring Blixa Bargeld singing Kylie Minogue's part to great comedic effect. Also notable for containing a terrifying Loverman and the best performance of The Mercy Seat that I've ever heard, hands down. Makes Johnny Cash look like a little bitch (although his cover remains excellent). They were touring for Murder Ballads, I believe.

This entire concert is probably the single most badass thing I've seen on youtube. Can't thank you enough for posting.

Wish I could've been there.
