Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

THE ABATTOIR BLUES TOUR
Mute, 2007

EXCELLENT 4-disc set from the legendary Cave’s last tour. Consisting of 2 CDs, documenting different shows, and 2 DVDs (also documenting different shows, along with a couple of music videos and behind-the-scenes bits), this is absolutely essential for ANY Bad Seeds fan. Songs from all phases of his career are covered, from the now-standard "Red Right Hand" to the perverted voodoo blues of "Stagger Lee". I probably have said enough; you should already know whether this is your thing or not. It can even make an excellent introduction for a Cave neophyte
