Live Performance Review: Nick Cave, Tuesday 28.04.2015 20:00 The Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh

This gig was advertised as a solo performance. This was not the case. He had some 'Bad Seeds' with him, though it was a parred back version to that which I have seen before and he did some songs by himself, which was nice. The setting and lighting was very nice and the view from where I was in the 3rd row could not have got much better. Nick and his chief collaborator, Mr. Warren Ellis, were superb showmen as always. 

This was the fourth time in total that I have seen Nick and his Seeds. I have seen them twice on the first leg of a tour after albums have come out and now twice with more distance to album releases. I prefer seeing him in the performances that have more distance to album releases as he tends to do more of a spread of work from across his career with the Seeds. This show had works spreading from his most recent album, back to the very first and contained many of my favourite songs by Mr. Cave. The performance lasted 2 & 1/4 Hours and was top notch throughout, what more could you want.  

Rating: 10/10.
