Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Live at Accor Arena, Paris

4 October 2017 · Paris

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds filling the Accor Arena in Paris — the floor packed to the edges, the stage pushing white light through haze while red beams cut across the rigging above. The left-side screen runs a black and white close-up of the performance; the main backdrop holds the band in silhouette. Two readings of the same show: the intimate and the monumental, held in the same frame at the same moment.
