About
Many of 2020’s livestreamed lockdown concerts were “from my home to yours”-type DIY affair. Think lo-fi phone recording, slightly blurry footage, home DJ sets for two-person lounge disco. But Nick Cave? No way. This is a man who can transform the most banal story into a dramatic spectacle with one finger on a piano key. Instead, the revered Australian-born, England-dwelling artist went large, recording a lavish solo performance at London’s Alexandra Palace. There were no Bad Seeds—not even Warren Ellis—no audience, no applause, no antic. Just Cave, an extraordinary Fazioli, and, for those who experienced the livestream, stirring cinematography by Oscar nominee Robbie Ryan. No one said intimacy had to be simple. .
