Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Concerts 2000 - 2009
"No More Shall We Part" tour, 1st leg - Europe - April/May 2001
Comments: The band is still: Nick Cave, Mick Harvey, Blixa Bargeld,
Thomas Wydler, Martyn P. Casey, Jim Sclavunos and Warren Ellis.
Live debut of "Curse Of Millhaven", and 9 songs and one B-side
of the new album, including live debuts of "The Sorrowful Wife", "Hallelujah",
and "Oh, My Lord", and the first Bad Seeds performance of "Love Letter".
From the new album "No More Shall We Part", the song "Sweetheart Come",
was never played live, and "Gates To the Garden" never by the Bad Seeds.
"Darker With The Day" had to wait until 2005.
"The Sorrowful Wife" was dropped after 3 shows,
but was played once more on special request by Damien Gousset in Leuven.
The last Bad Seeds performance of "Papa Won't Leave You, Henry" was in 1995.
At the second Paris show, "God Is In The House" was started but aborted
after 10 seconds - so it's not listed below.
The Lyon stelist comes from a probably incomplete broadcast.
"Love Is In The Air" is a John Paul Young (1979) cover.

"Nocturama" tour, 1st leg - Europe - April/May/June 2003
Comments: Blixa Bargeld has left the Bad Seeds before the tour started
and is replaced by James Johnston. The Nocturama tours were all relatively short.
Live debut of "Watching Alice", and surprising rare returns of "The Singer"
"The Loom Of The Land" and "Sad Waters", and only 6 songs of the new album.
"Dead Man In My Bed", "There Is A Town" and "She Passed By My Window"
were never done live. "Right Out Of Your Hand" was later played in solo shows,
but never by the Bad Seeds. After the 2003 tours, all Nocturama songs
were ignored in future Bad Seeds' shows.
"West Country Girl" is back for this year's Bad Seeds shows.
Last Bad Seeds performance of "Christina the Astonishing" was in 1996.
"Wild World" as a Birthday Party song to enter the "Bad Seeds" set is a real rarity!
"There Is A Kingdom" is the only Bad Seeds live performance I know of.
Chris Bailey (from the support band) helps sing "Bring It On".
Footage of the second London show was later released in The Abatoir Blues Tour package.

"Abattoir Blues" tour, 1st leg - Europe - November/December 2004
Comments: European "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus" tour.
Bad Seeds again with James Johnston, and with four members of the
London Community Gospel Choir: Wendi Rose, Ase Bergstrom, Eleanor Palmer
and Geo Onaymake. For the first time the setlist was divided in two parts
with the first part entirely dedicated to the new album.
From the new album, only two songs were never played live:
"Fable Of The Brown Ape" and "Spell". "Cannibal's Hymn" was
only tried on the first date and was thereafter abandoned.
The same holds for "Lay Me Low", a one-off live debut.
The second Brixton show was filmed for "The Abattoir Blues Tour".
Paris 15/11 was interrupted after the opening song for half an hour
due to technical problems.

"Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" tour, 1st leg - Europe - April/June 2008
Comments: After almost 3 years of Bad Seeds' absense
and Nick working with the solo quartet and Grinderman.
From the "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" album, all songs were played live,
but "Albert Goes West" only once at the first date.
This tour saw live debuts of the 1986 song "Hard On For Love" and
of the 1996 song "Lovely Creature", and "Wanted Man" was back since 1994.
In Dublin, Shane McGowan joined Nick Cave on stage for "Lucy".
Note also the rare appearance of "Far From Me".
"The Mercy Seat" was only played on the second half of the tour, after the BBC session.
In Athens, Tupelo lasted 12 minutes and Ed Kuepper joined on stage for Stagger Lee.

Europe - Summer 2009
Comments: European summer festival tour. Ed Kuepper is the successor of Mick Harvey,
and the band now has none of the original members of 1984. James Johnston has also left,
so The Bad Seeds on this tour are: Thomas Wydler, Conway Savage, Martyn P. Casey,
Jim Sclavunos, Warren Ellis and Ed Kuepper.
Lucy gets a fixed spot in the standard setlist for the very first time.
The 19/6 Southside Festival concert suffered from a 10 minute break-down of the PA system
after The Ship Song. Shane MacGowan joined for Lucy on July 11.
