Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds played an emotional show at The O2 in London last night (Saturday November 9), with the frontman taking a moment to jokingly tease touring bassist – Colin Greenwood of Radiohead.The Bad Seeds are now some months into the European tour for their acclaimed 18th album ‘Wild God‘.

Playing their second night in the capital, Cave had some fun at the expense of Greenwood – who has been the performing bassist with the band in the absence of Martyn Casey.At one point, Cave pointed out a fan on the front row wearing a “a hideous Radiohead sweatshirt,” as he put it. “What’s worse is you have a Björk t-shirt on underneath,” Cave continued, noting that it added “insult to injury”.Laughing with his bandmates as they looked to Greenwood, Cave corrected himself: “We love them both.

Isn’t that right Colin? We stole Colin.”Then, during the performance of the iconic ‘Red Right Hand’, Cave looked to the fan wearing the ‘In Rainbows’ hoodie once more and altered the lyrics to: “You want another shitty T-shirt?

He’ll get you one.”With the frontman in the highest of jovial spirits, other highlights of the evening included a fevered performance of the title track of ‘Wild God’, the ‘Push The Sky Away’ cut ‘Jubilee Street’ landing as a latter day Bad Seeds favourite, full-bodied live outings of ‘White Elephant’ and the title track from Cave and Warren Ellis’ lockdown album ‘Carnage‘ and ‘O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She Is)’ being dedicated to their late, former bandmate, the “bright flame” of Anita Lane.Tender moments also came when a humbled and teary-eyed Cave led the crowd through stripped-down renditions of ‘I Need You’ and the classic ‘Into My Arms’.Look at me now.@nickcave @TheO2 pic.twitter.com/ace55tRV1w— Andrew.
