Runner up: Of Montreal @ Becks Music Box, Perth 28/2/09
At the start of the year, Belvoir Amphitheatre played host to Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds, touring off the back of their album, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!. The fact that he is now over half a century old has not slowed Mr. Cave in the slightest, as he and his spectacular band tore through a set of not only great songs from Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, but a whole host of other classics, including Red Right Hand, The Mercy Seat, Tupelo, Deanna, and Into My Arms, enthralling the audience for over 2 hours.
Most shows at Belvoir are usually quite special, due to the intimacy of the venue, but this show was just amazing, as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds proved not only that they definitely still have it, but also why they are one of the most critically acclaimed Australian groups of all time. Adding to the mystique of the night was the announcement just 2 days later that Mick Harvey was leaving the Bad Seeds after 25 years, meaning this was his last ever show.
I can't wait to get the oppurtunity to see this band again, hopefully sooner rather than later.
