Song title: People Ain't No Good
Artist: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Year: 1997
Why I like this song:
Recently I went to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds live. This has been a long time coming and I went in with high expectations, having heard they are, on a live front, something special.
And that certainly was the case: Granted this is a different Bad Seeds, being without Mick Harvey and Blixa Bargeld, but it was a memorable show. Nick is a charismatic presence and all of the Bad Seeds prove they are a crack team.
Naturally there were a lot of songs of Skeleton Tree but some of his best known songs were present (Mercy Seat, Weeping Song, Ship Song, Tupelo, Nobody's Baby Now, Stagger Lee, Red Right Hand). Although I must admit hearing Into My Arms is strange as it clearly not a song to be listened to in a group environment - and yet here I am surrounded by a mob slurring along the chorus.
Of course the show was plagued by a dodgy monitor, which Nick pointed out, but I suppose that what happens when you start your tour on Friday the 13th,,,,
