Towards the start of his All Points East set in Victoria Park, Nick Cave told the crowd that his management company had received a complaint that he and Bad Seeds bandmate Warren Ellis spat too much on stage, which was unhygienic in these times. His response: “You should see what Warren and I get up to off stage!”
For the rest of their exhilarating, bombastic two-hour show, the pair then made a point of loudly, grotesquely using a spit bucket at every opportunity. Along with the spit, this astounding show also had blood, guts and just about everything else.
