Highlights, of which there were many:
- Jesus Alone being about 16 times better than it is on record, the main refrain was amazing
- despite it being a gigantic outdoor arena and the fact it's the quietest song Magneto was absolutely stellar
- Higgs Boson Blues is one of the best songs ever, and live it's another five notches better. Featured some guttural screaming as well as Nick Cave breaking the fourth wall asking a woman what the fuck she was doing touching his dick
- The very touching personal epiphany I had walking back from the bar during From Her to Eternity (I don't normally go to the bar during gigs but I owed the chick I went with a drink)
- Tupelo, a song I didn't know, absolutely fucking epic as all fuck
- Jubilee Street, see Higgs Boson Blues. "I'm transforming / I'm vibrating / look at me now" is the most fierce shit you will ever see live
- Another very lovely personal epiphany during Into My Arms, Ship Song was also very nice
- I Need You being even better live than on record
- Stagger Lee being absolutely fucking mental
- Push the Sky Away an exceptional song
But I save the biggest comment for the main set closer, which was Distant Sky followed by Skeleton Tree. It was incredibly powerful, so emotional. Nick Cave is at the absolute peak of his powers. Like the stuff from Skeleton Tree and Push the Sky Away is the best shit, it's so good.
Go and see him, because live music doesn't get much better.
