I’m jealous of nicks freedom to explode on stage with the urgency of a mad preacher and fire out these words and expressions and mannerisms. Songs like these are such a release. I wish I had this freedom. I wish I could go into a manic frenzy and capture people’s attention with my urgency and give them something worth hearing.

Nick Cave was born to transmit the power of God.

Playing this over and over while I grieve for my little sister who just passed...it's the only song that feels like medicine 💕💜🙏

Most musicians can only dream of writing and performing a piece of music this powerful. This is a pure tour de force, it's always been one of my favourite songs by Nick and The Seeds and every time I watch this clip I'm reminded of how powerful a performance it truly is.

And in a way I'm yearning for the whole show on DVD.

I love how there are so many live performances of this song, but they all sound so different from one another. It's like the gift that keeps on giving with each new performance

Within the darkness lies the brightness.

[OLBK]

Great Concert. I was there. He is truly a magician

[TheLovelyCreature]

God I love this song so freaking much, one of my favorites to hear live! The way it just builds and builds, and get's more and more intense... And when it ends it leaves you feeling almost drained, like coming down from a high. Freaking brilliant.

[redoberon]

Goddamn, the way he delivered the final line

[grunthostheflatulent]

I could see Nick as an old testament preacher, riveting the congregation with his intensity.
Even the purest would leave church feeling like an evil sinner.

[focused]

The poetry of this and Cave’s delivery is unbelievable

[adamcharlesdavies]

The percussion on this track is something special.

[glennlammonby]

Just sensational. Unbelievably powerful.

[dimitriosvassis]

Others had Mozart, others Elvis or Beatles or Rolling Stones, we have NC and the Bad Seeds

[Romalvx]

So few smartphones..so much respect for the Artist in the audience body language.

[ericpirillo]

Fantastic crowd. Europeans get true artistic endeavors more than we Americans. This dude should have been a household name in America for the last 30 year's, just like killing joke

[antonlorenzo]

Such a unique and powerful song. I might have listened to it a thousand times and still feels haunting and captivating like the first time.

[cirrusminor]

This is the first time I'm listening to this song. Wow, what intensity! I have goosebumps, it's an incredible experience! Thanks Nick Cave!

[Romalvx]

Bless be this public, raising only their hands not their smartphones..
