[CANCELLED: September 23, 2020] Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds / Weyes Blood
Nick Cave is now forever associated with disasters for me. I was supposed to see him in 2001 about a week after 9/11 but he cancelled that tour. Now, I had a ticket to see him and Coronavirus made him cancel this tour as well.
At least I got to see him once in the interim. The show was amazing, but the venue was terrible–crowded, packed, people singing every word loudly in my ear and I couldn’t get anywhere near him. I thought I’d really like to see him one more time and this seemed like a good opportunity.
I don’t love going to The Mann Center because it’s so far for me. But they do tend to have great acts. Plus, this one was going to be at The Skyline Stage which I’d never been to before (it’s general admission, a smaller stage).
The Mann Center wound up cancelling all of their shows this summer, but I see that Nick cancelled his whole tour. I do hope he decides to come back (and play a venue closer to me).
Weyes Blood is a quiet band. Nataile Mering is the main force behind the band and she sings beautiful, delicate music. I’m not sure how this would translate in an open air venue, but I was very curious to find out. I hope they team up next time as well.
