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

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

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

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

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

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

Unbelievably powerful and mad.

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

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

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

this is what a live should be.

Best "one chord song" ever!

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.

Blixa and Cave together are one big God

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

Best performance of this song ever.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

This is disgustingly perfect.

Best version of From her to eternity

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

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...

"Out of her nightmare and back into mine"

Thomas Wilder at his most energetic, lovely cymbal smashing

The best of all!!Love you Nick & Blixa

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..]

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.

love the madness of this song!

thomas wydler... what a drummer

This is so f*cking awesome!!! I never have enough of this video...

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

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

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

Blixa Bargeld is cool

As Iggy would say... 'RAW POWER!

SO FUCKING GOOD

He is superb, the band is superb,,

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

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

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!

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

Perfection

proper nicc cave

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.

Favorite video on youtube

Never thought I'd see a mosh pit at a Nick Cave concert

Fuck it's Christmas. I walk and cry... I walk and cry...

it always amazes me how close he is to smacking his head against his knee in the beginning of the video.

Goosebumps

Cave and The Bad Seeds are one of the best ever to do it

this's true art!

OH HELL YES!!!!!!!

EXCELLENT.

Wow! Just perfect! Best of times!

One of my top 10 YT clips..primal as fuck..

@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 !

Wydler is on fire.

I wish I would have seen this in 1989, so I could’ve enjoyed the band longer.

This is before he joined the band. Blixa Bargeld and Kid Congo Powers on guitars. Warren joined in 1995.

BRUTAL

So cool.

"I wanna tell you about the girl...." Y se desata el infieno!!

All AMPS set to 9 ALL INSTRUMENTS are played as percussion No other description fits the sound of the best line up of the Bad Seeds ever...

One of the best RU-vid clips. So primal !

THIS ONE ,NICK,JUST DRIVE ME INSANE.....TARGUS

this is probably my favorite line up

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

Dreamteam with people from Cramps, Gun Club, Die Haut, Einstürzen , Birthday Party...on and on..

Didn't know Van Damme played the drums in the Bad Seeds.

incredible. insane.

Oh alright. I'll play the usual stuff, but I will try and sneak this in

nice trousers!

amazingly great quality for the time of VHS!

Thanks for your answers. Love to you all.

ah memories...

I was there, in the summer heath. Surreal

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 !

I was at this.Got a bus from Birmingham.

f**ing amazing!!

Was there. Was great.

fuck, i miss blixa.

Fokin force of nature

I remember reading at one of the Lollapalooza concerts 1994. Somebody threw a mud at cave and cave left the stage and never came back on I hope that guy got a good ass kicking 🤓

hell, yeah! the energy!

outstanding!!!

kid congo should write a memoir.

Thanks

This might be the most pissed off song I've ever heard.

QUALITY VIDEO AND SOUND....THANKS!

Pazzesco! Grandiosoooo💣👏👏

I LIVE IN ROOM 29 TOO!!!! Mindblowin" tuneWHAT kind of INTENSITY!!!!

Bruuuuuuutal.... me encantaaaaa. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👊👊👊👊👊🚀🚀🚀😍🤤🤤🤤😈😈😈

Thomas Wilder on fire

AMAZING!! thank you soulbreath

love

@mesnais Anita Lane co-wrote the lyrics with Cave. I'm sure she was the inspiration. She wrote the entire lyrics to "Stranger Than Kindness" Oh yeah, and I agree with everything else you said.
