Another excellent post from the tender Dark Circle Room.
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ masterpiece “Tender Prey” was released in 1988 during turbulent times, and the music reflects it. This is one of the finest, if not the finest, Nick Cave LP.
Here are three high-quality FM broadcasts from 1990 featuring primarily songs from Tender Prey. I haven’t listened yet, but they may be acoustic and/or just Nick Cave and Mick Harvey performing, which would make them even more interesting.
14/03/1990 Nozems A GoGo, VPRO radio, acoustic.
- The Ship Song
- The Mercy Seat
24/04/1990 2 Meter Sessies, VARA Radio The Netherlands (recorded 21/3/90)
- Sad Waters
- City Of Refuge
- The Good Son
- The Mercy Seat
