  • 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.

    Greetings

  • 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.

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

  • Alright, it was worth notice ; )

  • @aebipesche85

    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.

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

  • @ZEYSamon No, it isn`t.

  • @aebipesche85 it is Blixa!!!

  • 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...

  • @aebipesche85

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

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

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