Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds w/ Sharon Van Etten, Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN - 03/16/2013

Finally getting things updated before the end of the year. Ugh. So this was a winner, definitely top 2 or 3 shows that I saw this year. Sharon Van Etten was very stripped down, didn't do any older songs that I knew like "Peace Sign" or "A Crime," but sounded great.

But Nick Cave blew the doors off the place. No photos from this one. The Ryman was packed (this sold out in an hour or so), and people were losing their minds when he launched into "From Her to Eternity" and the other older stuff that came after. Certain songs were as good as you'd imagine ... "Red Right Hand," "The Mercy Seat," etc. Some of the new stuff really came off well, too. He's still got it ...
