Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds — June 26, 2017 at San Diego Civic Theatre
June 26, 2017
San Diego Civic Theatre in San Diego
This is 3rd show we have caught on this tour. It is really clear that the experience of a bad seeds show is always different no matter if the setlist is close to the same. We could tell from the layout of the theatre that we would have a very interesting night. There was no orchestra pit at all. So even if you were try to rush the stage there would be nowhere for you to go. Much more laid back atmosphere than Boston. Majority of the crowd stood through most of the show. Only sitting during the occasional quieter songs. None of the prickly ness from the Boston show existed. It wasn't until the encore that Nick addressed the situation regarding the theatre. Nick - “Where are the aisles here? I can't do my act” Then proceeded to do his act anyway going over top 20 rows out into the audience. Dragging even more people on stage than the Boston show at the end. I don't think there was one reaction from security other than “what in the world is he doing?” Wonderful.
