On a stunning Wellington evening, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds delivered an emotional rollercoaster ride to a predominantly 40+ crowd.

At the TSB Arena on Thursday night, the iconic Aussie singer was joined by his long-time bandmates for a set of 25 songs, culminating in a moving performance of Into My Arms.

Opening for Cave, Aldous Harding, who has been touring with him in Australasia, gave a captivating performance.

The New Zealand singer-songwriter’s percussion-free set warmed up the audience of Cave fans as they filled up the venue on the waterfront.

As Harding left the stage, the words ‘Wild God’ – the title of Cave and The Bad Seeds’ latest album – appeared on the screens, building anticipation for the main act.

Throughout the night, the band played tracks from their extensive discography, with a focus on their recent record, as well as a few covers.

One standout moment was the performance of O Children, introduced by Cave as a “depressing mid-career” song from the 2004 album Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus.

During O Children, Cave’s haunting vocals and delicate piano playing created a mesmerizing atmosphere enhanced by bright white lights.

Despite over 50 years in the music industry, Cave’s charisma remains strong as he engaged with the audience, even allowing a fan to join him briefly on stage.

In the documentary Once More With Feeling, Warren Ellis suggested that songs can reveal deeper meanings and emotions, much like dreams.

While Cave’s lyrics are deeply personal, his performances serve as a channel for his experiences, including his grief over losing two sons.

Amidst the emotional moments, there were also lighthearted exchanges between Cave and his bandmates, bringing moments of joy to the show.

Cave’s poetic lyrics and references to literature add to his enigmatic persona, drawing fans deeper into his world of pain, healing, and spirituality.

Throughout the performance, Cave’s energy was palpable as he moved across the stage, occasionally pausing at the piano or interacting with the audience.

One of the highlights was the rendition of Red Right Hand, a fan-favorite track that gained popularity as the theme song for the TV show Peaky Blinders.

During the encore, Janet Ramus took the spotlight with Cave for a powerful duet of Henry Lee, captivating the audience with their vocals.

As the night drew to a close, Cave delivered a poignant solo performance of Skeleton Tree before ending on a touching note with Into My Arms.
