Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - From Her To Eternity (Live 1989, Pro-Shot with well-balanced audio)

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

Can we take a second to appreciate what a (overtly underrated) hell of a drummer Thomas Wydler is?

[@aprat]

He seriously is what made this performance so memorable.

[@lucylovic]

Yes. Hear this all the time on youtube. Everyone is underrated

[@imrichkotrba900]

Switzerland...its normal😂

[@heavenorhell2024]

every drummer is underappreciated. thats the story

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

@@heavenorhell2024 Yeah but he is never really cited amongst great drummers, not even great post punk drummers.

[@mervyourself]

I had to limit myself to only watching this twice a week.

[@scottlebrun6782]

I love you

[@_epic_dyslexic_]

I hope you have stopped punishing yourself and watch this daily now lol

[@nimusworks5475]

i know the feeling...im better now. once a month

[@billevilman7379]

I watch/listen to this daily, I cannot stop!

[@sidarthur8706]

asceticism isn't the way

[@jude999]

This is one of those performances, like Hendrix at Monterey, where the audience is in shock, not yet knowing what they have witnessed.

[@yangro2s235]

I was there, Werchter 1989, and it was exactly how you describe it. 😮

[@kutani6670]

So incredible. Most performers these days cannot even come near this level of raw intensity.

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

He has blixa behind him

[@sichaar]

Pure horror on a bright sunshiny day. One of their best songs.

[@422Ruffian]

Love your description! Nick often does the same in his lyrics. Opposites which flow together somehow.

[@miguelfreitas8694]

Pure horror? It was a cloudy day...

[@galetinm]

Yeah, I don't see the sunshine.

[@stuartfishman1044]

Fractured, turbulent beauty with Nick Cave performing as if nothing could possibly hold him back. Wish I could have been there.

[@heavenorhell2024]

but you are not

[@Somiten]

I love those atmospheric sounds that come from Blixa's guitar

[@hunterdavis3003]

It’s mesmerizing

[@chrisandersen5635]

Yay for Blixa and his beautiful Jaguar. I do wish he would still play the guitar. His playing is so unique.

[@markferguson3745]

Think that's a borrowed Strat; much to the consternation of some, Blixa was fond of borrowing other's guitars, because he preferred their unfamiliar feel.That is genius.

[@cmcbride]

@@markferguson3745 Kid Congo's on the Strat, Blixa's on the Jaguar. I'm sure I've only ever seen him play this Jag or his blue Mustang in any Bad Seeds video after about 1986

[@ceedasun6148]

Unbelievably powerful and mad.

[@422Ruffian]

The Cheshire Cat is grinning!

[@tryfishin9]

this is the best version ever, they never played it like that again. the seeds are on fire! wydler is right in the pocket.

[@silvansky]

Best "one chord song" ever!

[@elmarcustransmission]

this is what a live should be.

[@marxman00]

This is disgustingly perfect.

[@TtKKr]

Roland Wolf was a great musician. His piano playing is delightfully beautiful on the album 'Tender Prey'. R.I.P.

[@brassteeth3355]

True dat

[@SSchvzophrenia]

Blixa and Cave together are one big God

[@pauloaleixo6554]

It is a pride and an honor to have been lucky enough to live at the same time as this great gentleman! God bless you, Nick!

[@TheMagmagoblin]

Best performance of this song ever.

[@vegbloke]

Gosh this is good. i was thinking of playing this in the pub on Christmas eve; they're expecting a carol sing-a-long; fuck that.

[@LSUOdyssey]

SOOOOOO DAMN GOOD! The definitive version. This song doesn't get better than THIS!

[@jeffbrett7849]

best version ever!!!! Pure menace like early Stooges live....

[@SullenV.Hement]

You'd think there would be more camera on Blixa playing guitar. Pretty intense though! Can't believe I saw them in 1984. Seems like several lifetimes ago...

[@buckleygeneration]

This is the best performance of what is possibly their best song.

[@bertcornelissen6294]

Other artists that day: Texas, Pixies, Tanita Tikaram, Robert Cray, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Joe Jackson and Lou Reed; best edition ever of Rock Werchter; But this was still the highlight for almost 18 year old me

[@RuudLang]

I was also there 😄

There were legends on that stage that afternoon. This is around the time my buddy turned me on to these cats.

[@ginap.9202]

The best of all!!Love you Nick & Blixa

[@blixa3642]

perfection ! this is the best it's ever been done !!

[@meravazur]

Blixa Bargeld at its finest. Miss him so badly!!!!

[@PatientenO.T.]

He’s been kicking ass with his own band since he left. Einsturzende Neubauten!

[@chemicaljohn4248]

love the madness of this song!

[@mesnais]

Definitely ! Maybe one of the most interesting band of the last 30 years ! Look at them ! Fuck ! Pure energy ! Pure poetry ! The lyrics are spat to the face of the world.. Great band, great poet (Nick), great orchestration (all the bad seeds..) [The lyrics - for this song - are from Anita Lane, I think.. I'm not sure..]

[@styxcreek]

I don’t think she wrote this but it’s probably about her.

[@Horushu]

Nick Cave is a true genius! A true genius on fire!!

[@billking8843]

This was the best lineup of the Bad Seeds IMHO. They lost a fair bit when Blixa left and they lost too much when Mick Harvey left.

[@billking8843]

So the lineup if I am correct is Nick Cave - vocals, Brian Tristan and Blixa Bargeld - guitar, Mick Harvey - bass, Thomas Wydler - drums, Roland Wolff - keys. I think Thomas Wydler is still in the Bad Seeds line up. Roland Wolff is no longer with us.

[@Trundlecake]

@@billking8843 Do not forget Kid Congo Powers!

[@billking8843]

@@Trundlecake LOL, I listed him as Brian Tristan, which is what he was called in Gun Club. I expect his mum is the only person who calls him that anymore.

[@Trundlecake]

@@billking8843 Excellent! I Did wonder if that was his birth name! Thanks for the clarity and big up the gun club. All the best

[@billking8843]

@@Trundlecake He's had such a wonderful career! Gun Club, Bad Seeds and The Cramps, along with others. He's a friend of friends and a great guy on top of all the rest of it.

Best version of From her to eternity

[@Stefano4393]

Nick you was-are -will be =immortal in my -our souls-for ever.Thank you that you exist

[@blixa9398]

when you hit your afternoon lull today, crank this up !!

[@mesnais]

@alund1306 Thanks Alund.. I wasn't sure for the lyrics (I read about the band many many years ago.. So..) I think that this version IS the best one ! The rhythm is perfect (fast but not "sloppy") : Wydler and Harvey impose the energy with their play, Kid pushes the sound to the limits (of saturation), Blixa.. is the dark side of the atmosphere ! I love the mesmerizing repetition of the same notes of the piano.. Pure masterpiece !

[@post-crucifixion]

Well put! This must be one of my most watched videos ever!

[@scott7521]

Blixa's guitar at 3:50..... what a sound

[@michelclarijs]

Fantastic discorded sound...but he sayd in an interview on tele he actually couldn't play chords. There you have it . Mick Harvey ,who is the best player here and Blixa ...

[@ezkibela]

​@@michelclarijsdont forguet Kid Congo is there too

[@marcellocostantini1159]

You Can not belive me but i ask in about that in Milan ... He said the Guitar do It by itself....with volume so hight The problem Is not about make noise but about how control noise ... That's the First rule of industrial music...

[@vegbloke]

Thomas Wilder at his most energetic, lovely cymbal smashing

[@alainleclercq5831]

I Was 18 in 1989 and was there at wechter .Nick at his first song turned thé volume to the double. This song is about heroin what a wild time it was.Nick as always ,full of power is amazing.What a beast of concert he is.I am a great fan.Like him I managed to stop drugging and smoking for the better.What a grreat time it always is to see Nick live at a concert or festival.Hopw to see him again.

[@balance1182]

Not about heroin at all. It’s about a girl as you can hear in the first verse: “I wanna tell about a girl, you know she lives in room 29, the one right on top of mine…” Just because he was a junkie it doesn’t mean every fkn song of that era was about heroin.

[@jrkchannel37]

One of the best KZbin clips. So primal !

[@kronik217]

Favorite video on youtube

[@k3raiko_u522]

Genial... und immer wieder Spitze!!!!

[@davidglow3]

Nothing can beat the Wings of Desire version..but this comes close

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

The Wings Of Desire version is just the studio version. They don't play live.

Damn it they rocked back then. F-ing brilliant.

[@anklamer]

Wow! Just perfect! Best of times!

[@scottlebrun6782]

Perfection

[@aphroditearva176]

Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl You know, she lives in apt. 29 Why? That's the one right up top a mine I start to cry, I start to cry Oh, I hear her walkin' Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards All through this lonesome night And I hear her crying too Hot-tears come splashin' on down Leaking through the cracks Down upon my face I catch 'em in my mouth! Walk and cry, walk and cry [Chorus] From her to eternity! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! [Verse 2] I read her diary on her sheets Scrutinizing every little piece of dirt Tore out a page and stuffed it inside my shirt Fled outta the window And shinning it down the vine Outta her nightmare And back into mine Mine! O Mine! [Chorus] From her to eternity! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! Cry! Cry! Cry! [Verse 3] She's wearing them bloo-stockens, I bet! And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling Listen I know it must sound absurd But I can hear the most melancholy sound I ever heard! Walk and cry, kneel and cry! [Chorus] From her to eternity! From her to eternity! [Verse 4] Oh tell me why? Why? Why? Why the ceiling still shakes? Why the fixtures turn to serpents snakes? This desire to possess her is a wound And it's naggin' at me like a shrew But I know, that to possess her Is, therefore, not to desire her [Chorus] O o o then ya know That lil girl would just have to go! Go! Go! From her to eternity!

[@yelysaveta7381]

SO FUCKING GOOD

[@kennethanderson8827]

Thoughts on attire and skeletal length: I’m 5’6”, and weigh a lean, yet boxy, 140lb.s. If I attempted to dress like Nick, I would look ridiculous~ thoroughly worthy of ridicule & mockery. Short, flip flops & t shirts work well on me. If Nick dressed like me, he would look equally ridiculous, and undignified. Stay dignified Nick Cave

[@DeftonesFan1982]

f**ing amazing!!

[@mesnais]

Probablement l'un des groupes le plus prolifique et inventif des 30 dernières années ! Un sens rare de l'orchestration, un goût prononcé pour les mélodies totalement improbables.. Quant aux textes, ils coulent de la plume d'un grand poète [écrivain par ailleurs. À lire "Et l'âne vit l'ange", grossière traduction de "And the ass saw the angel"..] Bref, du grand art !
