Think that's a borrowed Strat; much to the consternation of some, Blixa was fond of borrowing other's guitars, because he preferred their unfamiliar feel.That is genius.
@@markferguson3745 Kid Congo's on the Strat, Blixa's on the Jaguar. I'm sure I've only ever seen him play this Jag or his blue Mustang in any Bad Seeds video after about 1986
Other artists that day: Texas, Pixies, Tanita Tikaram, Robert Cray, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Joe Jackson and Lou Reed; best edition ever of Rock Werchter; But this was still the highlight for almost 18 year old me
So the lineup if I am correct is Nick Cave - vocals, Brian Tristan and Blixa Bargeld - guitar, Mick Harvey - bass, Thomas Wydler - drums, Roland Wolff - keys. I think Thomas Wydler is still in the Bad Seeds line up. Roland Wolff is no longer with us.
@@Trundlecake LOL, I listed him as Brian Tristan, which is what he was called in Gun Club. I expect his mum is the only person who calls him that anymore.
@@Trundlecake He's had such a wonderful career! Gun Club, Bad Seeds and The Cramps, along with others. He's a friend of friends and a great guy on top of all the rest of it.
Definitely ! Maybe one of the most interesting band of the last 30 years ! Look at them ! Fuck ! Pure energy ! Pure poetry ! The lyrics are spat to the face of the world.. Great band, great poet (Nick), great orchestration (all the bad seeds..) [The lyrics - for this song - are from Anita Lane, I think.. I'm not sure..]
You'd think there would be more camera on Blixa playing guitar. Pretty intense though! Can't believe I saw them in 1984. Seems like several lifetimes ago...
That moment in time when Australia and Germany were so musically intertwined that this song could had been a The Triffids as well as an Einstürzende Neubauten as wells as a Nick Cave song.
Thoughts on attire and skeletal length: I’m 5’6”, and weigh a lean, yet boxy, 140lb.s. If I attempted to dress like Nick, I would look ridiculous~ thoroughly worthy of ridicule & mockery. Short, flip flops & t shirts work well on me. If Nick dressed like me, he would look equally ridiculous, and undignified. Stay dignified Nick Cave
Fantastic discorded sound...but he sayd in an interview on tele he actually couldn't play chords. There you have it . Mick Harvey ,who is the best player here and Blixa ...
You Can not belive me but i ask in about that in Milan ... He said the Guitar do It by itself....with volume so hight The problem Is not about make noise but about how control noise ... That's the First rule of industrial music...
Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl You know, she lives in apt. 29 Why? That's the one right up top a mine I start to cry, I start to cry Oh, I hear her walkin' Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards All through this lonesome night And I hear her crying too Hot-tears come splashin' on down Leaking through the cracks Down upon my face I catch 'em in my mouth! Walk and cry, walk and cry [Chorus] From her to eternity! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! [Verse 2] I read her diary on her sheets Scrutinizing every little piece of dirt Tore out a page and stuffed it inside my shirt Fled outta the window And shinning it down the vine Outta her nightmare And back into mine Mine! O Mine! [Chorus] From her to eternity! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! Cry! Cry! Cry! [Verse 3] She's wearing them bloo-stockens, I bet! And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling Listen I know it must sound absurd But I can hear the most melancholy sound I ever heard! Walk and cry, kneel and cry! [Chorus] From her to eternity! From her to eternity! [Verse 4] Oh tell me why? Why? Why? Why the ceiling still shakes? Why the fixtures turn to serpents snakes? This desire to possess her is a wound And it's naggin' at me like a shrew But I know, that to possess her Is, therefore, not to desire her [Chorus] O o o then ya know That lil girl would just have to go! Go! Go! From her to eternity!
I remember reading at one of the Lollapalooza concerts 1994. Somebody threw a mud at cave and cave left the stage and never came back on I hope that guy got a good ass kicking 🤓
I Was 18 in 1989 and was there at wechter .Nick at his first song turned thé volume to the double. This song is about heroin what a wild time it was.Nick as always ,full of power is amazing.What a beast of concert he is.I am a great fan.Like him I managed to stop drugging and smoking for the better.What a grreat time it always is to see Nick live at a concert or festival.Hopw to see him again.
Not about heroin at all. It’s about a girl as you can hear in the first verse: “I wanna tell about a girl, you know she lives in room 29, the one right on top of mine…” Just because he was a junkie it doesn’t mean every fkn song of that era was about heroin.
@alund1306 Thanks Alund.. I wasn't sure for the lyrics (I read about the band many many years ago.. So..) I think that this version IS the best one ! The rhythm is perfect (fast but not "sloppy") : Wydler and Harvey impose the energy with their play, Kid pushes the sound to the limits (of saturation), Blixa.. is the dark side of the atmosphere ! I love the mesmerizing repetition of the same notes of the piano.. Pure masterpiece !
Probablement l'un des groupes le plus prolifique et inventif des 30 dernières années ! Un sens rare de l'orchestration, un goût prononcé pour les mélodies totalement improbables.. Quant aux textes, ils coulent de la plume d'un grand poète [écrivain par ailleurs. À lire "Et l'âne vit l'ange", grossière traduction de "And the ass saw the angel"..] Bref, du grand art !
@mesnais Anita Lane co-wrote the lyrics with Cave. I'm sure she was the inspiration. She wrote the entire lyrics to "Stranger Than Kindness" Oh yeah, and I agree with everything else you said.
Can we take a second to appreciate what a (overtly underrated) hell of a drummer Thomas Wydler is?
He seriously is what made this performance so memorable.
Yes. Hear this all the time on youtube. Everyone is underrated
Switzerland...its normal😂
every drummer is underappreciated. thats the story
@@heavenorhell2024 Yeah but he is never really cited amongst great drummers, not even great post punk drummers.
I had to limit myself to only watching this twice a week.
I love you
I hope you have stopped punishing yourself and watch this daily now lol
i know the feeling...im better now. once a month
I watch/listen to this daily, I cannot stop!
asceticism isn't the way
Pure horror on a bright sunshiny day. One of their best songs.
Love your description!
Nick often does the same in his lyrics. Opposites which flow together somehow.
Pure horror? It was a cloudy day...
Yeah, I don't see the sunshine.
This is one of those performances, like Hendrix at Monterey, where the audience is in shock, not yet knowing what they have witnessed.
I was there, Werchter 1989, and it was exactly how you describe it. 😮
I was there 10 metres from the stage flabbergasted
I was also there, i only found out 10 years later😂
So incredible. Most performers these days cannot even come near this level of raw intensity.
He has blixa behind him
Fractured, turbulent beauty with Nick Cave performing as if nothing could possibly hold him back. Wish I could have been there.
but you are not
I love those atmospheric sounds that come from Blixa's guitar
It’s mesmerizing
Unbelievably powerful and mad.
The Cheshire Cat is grinning!
Yay for Blixa and his beautiful Jaguar. I do wish he would still play the guitar. His playing is so unique.
Think that's a borrowed Strat; much to the consternation of some, Blixa was fond of borrowing other's guitars, because he preferred their unfamiliar feel.That is genius.
@@markferguson3745 Kid Congo's on the Strat, Blixa's on the Jaguar. I'm sure I've only ever seen him play this Jag or his blue Mustang in any Bad Seeds video after about 1986
this is the best version ever, they never played it like that again. the seeds are on fire! wydler is right in the pocket.
Best "one chord song" ever!
Other artists that day: Texas, Pixies, Tanita Tikaram, Robert Cray, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Joe Jackson and Lou Reed; best edition ever of Rock Werchter; But this was still the highlight for almost 18 year old me
I was also there 😄
@@RuudLang ik ook
This was the best lineup of the Bad Seeds IMHO. They lost a fair bit when Blixa left and they lost too much when Mick Harvey left.
So the lineup if I am correct is Nick Cave - vocals, Brian Tristan and Blixa Bargeld - guitar, Mick Harvey - bass, Thomas Wydler - drums, Roland Wolff - keys. I think Thomas Wydler is still in the Bad Seeds line up. Roland Wolff is no longer with us.
@@billking8843 Do not forget Kid Congo Powers!
@@Trundlecake LOL, I listed him as Brian Tristan, which is what he was called in Gun Club. I expect his mum is the only person who calls him that anymore.
@@billking8843 Excellent! I Did wonder if that was his birth name! Thanks for the clarity and big up the gun club. All the best
@@Trundlecake He's had such a wonderful career! Gun Club, Bad Seeds and The Cramps, along with others. He's a friend of friends and a great guy on top of all the rest of it.
Bad Seeds or The Cure?
Bad Seeds: Like
Cure: Comment
Blixa and Cave together are one big God
this is what a live should be.
Gosh this is good. i was thinking of playing this in the pub on Christmas eve; they're expecting a carol sing-a-long; fuck that.
Roland Wolf was a great musician. His piano playing is delightfully beautiful on the album 'Tender Prey'. R.I.P.
True dat
Definitely ! Maybe one of the most interesting band of the last 30 years ! Look at them ! Fuck ! Pure energy ! Pure poetry ! The lyrics are spat to the face of the world..
Great band, great poet (Nick), great orchestration (all the bad seeds..)
[The lyrics - for this song - are from Anita Lane, I think.. I'm not sure..]
I don’t think she wrote this but it’s probably about her.
best version ever!!!! Pure menace like early Stooges live....
You'd think there would be more camera on Blixa playing guitar. Pretty intense though! Can't believe I saw them in 1984. Seems like several lifetimes ago...
Best performance of this song ever.
SOOOOOO DAMN GOOD! The definitive version. This song doesn't get better than THIS!
"Out of her nightmare and back into mine"
Blixa Bargeld at its finest. Miss him so badly!!!!
He’s been kicking ass with his own band since he left. Einsturzende Neubauten!
It is a pride and an honor to have been lucky enough to live at the same time as this great gentleman! God bless you, Nick!
This is the best performance of what is possibly their best song.
This is disgustingly perfect.
That moment in time when Australia and Germany were so musically intertwined that this song could had been a The Triffids as well as an Einstürzende Neubauten as wells as a Nick Cave song.

Blixa's guitar at 3:50..... what a sound
Fantastic discorded sound...but he sayd in an interview on tele he actually couldn't play chords. There you have it . Mick Harvey ,who is the best player here and Blixa ...
@@michelclarijsdont forguet Kid Congo is there too
You Can not belive me but i ask in about that in Milan ... He said the Guitar do It by itself....with volume so hight The problem Is not about make noise but about how control noise ... That's the First rule of industrial music...
Thomas Wilder at his most energetic, lovely cymbal smashing
Nick Cave is a true genius! A true genius on fire!!
Immenso NICK CAVE 🌹 irrangiungibile 🖤🖤🖤
perfection ! this is the best it's ever been done !!
There were legends on that stage that afternoon. This is around the time my buddy turned me on to these cats.
As Iggy would say... 'RAW POWER!
Blixa Bargeld is cool
when you hit your afternoon lull today, crank this up !!
This is so f*cking awesome!!!
I never have enough of this video...
thomas wydler... what a drummer
Nothing can beat the Wings of Desire version..but this comes close
The Wings Of Desire version is just the studio version. They don't play live.
SO FUCKING GOOD
Best version of From her to eternity
proper nicc cave
The best of all!!Love you Nick & Blixa
Didn't know Van Damme played the drums in the Bad Seeds.
Well he´s only in one of those itty bitty tiny little seeds, you know.
love the madness of this song!
Nick you was-are -will be =immortal in my -our souls-for ever.Thank you that you exist
it always amazes me how close he is to smacking his head against his knee in the beginning of the video.
Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
You know, she lives in apt. 29
Why? That's the one right up top a mine
I start to cry, I start to cry
Oh, I hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards
All through this lonesome night
And I hear her crying too
Hot-tears come splashin' on down
Leaking through the cracks
Down upon my face
I catch 'em in my mouth!
Walk and cry, walk and cry
[Chorus]
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
[Verse 2]
I read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizing every little piece of dirt
Tore out a page and stuffed it inside my shirt
Fled outta the window
And shinning it down the vine
Outta her nightmare
And back into mine
Mine! O Mine!
[Chorus]
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
Cry! Cry! Cry!
[Verse 3]
She's wearing them bloo-stockens, I bet!
And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen I know it must sound absurd
But I can hear the most melancholy sound I ever heard!
Walk and cry, kneel and cry!
[Chorus]
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
[Verse 4]
Oh tell me why? Why? Why?
Why the ceiling still shakes?
Why the fixtures turn to serpents snakes?
This desire to possess her is a wound
And it's naggin' at me like a shrew
But I know, that to possess her
Is, therefore, not to desire her
[Chorus]
O o o then ya know
That lil girl would just have to go!
Go! Go!
From her to eternity!
This is before he joined the band. Blixa Bargeld and Kid Congo Powers on guitars. Warren joined in 1995.
I was at this.Got a bus from Birmingham.

Damn it they rocked back then. F-ing brilliant.
I wish I would have seen this in 1989, so I could’ve enjoyed the band longer.
Mind blowing. One great song from a great film . And lively thats an understatement 😊
One of my top 10 YT clips..primal as fuck..

Well put! This must be one of my most watched videos ever!
nice trousers!
He is superb, the band is superb,,
fuck, i miss blixa.
I love Blixa and respect him deeply, but kudos to Warren Ellis...
"I wanna tell you about the girl...."
Y se desata el infieno!!
Perfection
Wydler is on fire.
Favorite video on youtube
So fucking amazing it is painful 👊🏻
this's true art!
I was there, in the summer heath. Surreal
This might be the most pissed off song I've ever heard.
kid congo should write a memoir.
+Jacks Smirking Revenge Twat
7 years later he’s just announced his forthcoming memoirs
Goosebumps
BRUTAL
Fuck it's Christmas. I walk and cry... I walk and cry...
EXCELLENT.
Dreamteam with people from Cramps, Gun Club, Die Haut, Einstürzen , Birthday Party...on and on..

Wow! Just perfect! Best of times!

No other description fits the sound of the best line up of the Bad Seeds ever...
Thanks for your answers. Love to you all.
