PJ and Nick, what a combination, what a chemistry.

Each of them truly unique artists, together one of the most alluring couples ever.

As an American, sometimes I think back to a time when I could really only see shit like this if I was up past 12AM watching MTV, or still watching NBC or CBS after the 11 O'Clock news wrapped. And when you watched it, you either taped it off the VCR or you let it slip into the annals of time, only retaining some mildly-inaccurate version of it in your memories. I never thought in a million years I'd be watching those television performances again, let alone those from like British/European, Brazilian, Japanese television etc etc. I know it's been said a million times over here on RU-vid by its users, but I don't know, sometimes I'm blown away by it.

Awesome! I was in the TV audience way back in 1996. Can’t believe Im watching it again 27 years later.

The way he looks at her and the way she smiles at the end... that's love right there.

I went to Rough Trade in Neal's Yard back in the day and she was sitting in the corner playing to nobody, except me. We had a coffee and a chat and she signed her debut album for me using a gold pen. Technically I class that as a date, and you can't say it isn't.

Love Nick. Great writer and performer. And suffered so much personal grief losing two of his three sons. Heart breaking. Still he keeps going. What else is there to do.

Yes, PJ in the audience dancing to Stagger Lee is great. And I also like guitarist Blixa Bargeld (right side) of the Einstürzende Neubauten. There he is the master and head of the band, and the main performer. And here with the Bad Seeds he is "only" one guitarist of the band and let Nick get all the attention. Nice (and by the way: I didn't know he could play guitar. In the beginning of the Neubauten early 80s they use EVERYTHING to make music - except real instruments :-)

always loved this performance and have it on VHS when I recorded it at the time, looks great here, thanks ScottishTeeVee for all the great work

Real music Nick Cave I can not understand his pain of losing his son..He shares his pain you cannot be a fan and not understand the reality of life. A real musician you hear the pain.I saw her years ago at Manchester Appollo in 2011 9:38 was a bit empty on the night but she stripped you to the bone .PJ Harvey live is a crash course in life 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Oh these two. I dont know what a romance is but we get a glimpse of that mysterious world. Thank you for uploading the video.

perfect duo completely obsessed with p.j. in the day.. played her all the time at home and at my haight street clothing store so much so that my staff protested eventually ... and never got into the music of Nick Cave but somehow always loved him anyway it's the same with the director John Waters, never could get into his films, but always loved his thing anyway

Im a big PJ fan so loved that thank you.

*_Polly and Nick - What an absolute perfect combination. Great quality, thanks ScotishTeeVee ..._*

Saw Birthday Party at the Hacienda in Manchester UK .. Nick spoke to us end of the gig on stage - Fkin decent guy.

🖤P.J Harvey

Nick Cave and Polly Jean were 🔥🔥🔥🔥 together, bro!

That’s a total match

That deep full voice, she makes me wanna cry. Memories pouring on me, late nights in dark bars, full of smoke, me and my best friend just in silence, drunk listening to the music. It seems like it was a different life, different me....

Ah that kiss he stole from her at the end, lucky guy, she's so damn gorgeous.

She is great...

Best couple EVER

Mesmerising performance.

brilliant...love your channel...many thanks from Adelaide South Oz

Thanks. Beautiful. Huuuuuuuuuuummmmm !!! 💛✨

That was a freaking treat!

Fabulous

I was there x

Awasome performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my ,that was good

I was in country Victoria yesterday right near where Nick grew up 😎

The best part of this video is in the first four minutes when you can see PJ is dancing off stage

PJ Harvey often looks weird in photos and I think she likes to play on that weirdness. But when you see her in motion, as in performing live she suddenly transforms. The truth is... she's fucking gorgeous!!!

Wow! Nick and Polly Jean with the Bad Seeds and Scottish Go-go dancers to boot! Can the human heart safely contain such joy?

He gave me the best hug

Power couple.

I ❤ Stagger Lee and Nick Cave.

This is love, I don't care what anyone says. They still have feelings for eachother...

...e anche BLIXA MITICO!!!💜

bad ass

This dude says MF’er more than the rapper Ice Cube, lol 😂

Excellence.

Nice to see folk expressing their dark sides.

💞

one of the best line up of the Bad Seeds...and of course the other with Rowland Howard!

They couldn’t work it out 🖤

Good Lawd

1 year after my military service. 10 months with some good persons and TARDS

This stuff doesn't happen anymore

What is the thumbnail from? It looks like backstage of the music video for henry lee but shows up nowhere in this video?

Mr. Nick remind me of lux interior cool!

🌹🖤🌹🇦🇺

Dancing girls in the background are just so Nick Cave. What on earth was he doing on this programme?

beautiful talented couple... shame they split up...

She grabbed his hand and he let go

👁El ojo

I drink therefore I am

SIEMPRE ENVIDIE SUS BOTAS....

Yea he definitely slept over ...

Reminds me a bit of Chuncho by Yma Sumac.

I'm so glad they aren't together! Reason being I like them both, but not together. PJ better off with a dude that don't look like her sibling

There is Moby beside the stage?

Billy Dilly wasn’t taking no shit. Respect.

Doesn't get much harder than this

Twin Peaks soundtrack.

Is PJ his daughter? haha

It’s actually Blixa that makes this.

Sounds like a bad version of tom waites

Blixas mic was way too quiet in stagger lee

Carefull with that axe Blixa

Por qué no mencionan a Blixa Bargeld??

shame on you Australia for keeping these gems hidden from the world; I mean it why do we never hear them on radio or tv ?

Looks like Jim Carrey's evil twin...😆

2:21 drummer mistake?

There I am sitting on the floor of my flat in Notting Hill sun streaming through the window (maybe) feeling good with a talented & beautiful young singer for a girlfriend when the phone rings I pick up the phone & it's Polly Hi I say I want to break up with you Why I asked It's just over she says I was so surprised I almost dropped my 💉

wtf was that

he's a drunk

I wonder if she knows how hot she is

Did he just call PJ Harvey a tart??😂😂

he cant sing

This is F***n Terrible......Never have been a Fan of Nick Cave.....

Cave sucks,,, PJ should have run away as fast as she could-- his crap is Maudlin while her stuff is On FirE. He’s a poseur.

Love these classic 90s tracks with that catchy chorus and that gut churning hook. I've always been a manic depressive with mood swings, and hated life at the best of times. But, in all honesty, I am grateful to have lived through the best and most progressive and predominantly moody years in musical history.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

the chemistry gives me goosebumps even after 27 years. there something of the gauche teenager when he is around her. he just looks super keen, awkward but trying to look cool. and he actually does look cool, he is a cool man and a super keen boy in turn. She is this wonderful combination of vamp and vulnerable. the two of them together look like love; all of its vulnerabilities and awkwardnesses and greatness touching the face of eternity.

the chemistry my lord

Just watching PJ Harvey with Nick Cave....just amazing...they seem born to be together...

Brilliant, Such a brilliant band and Cave is a charismatic singer.

Is Henry lee the only song they ever recorded together? They should have a whole album together!

Blixa Bargeld has the best scream ever.

Influence Tom Waits Leonard Cohen. 😮

This was on TV!?! I'm in the USA and can't believe Nick Cave used the word "motherfucker" about 100 times on a TV show. Also, for a while I thought Nick and PJ might be the same person. Now I finally see them both in the same place at the same time so that nixes that theory.

Thank you ScottishTeeVee. You have an incredible archive of material and I really appreciate your content. I've always admired Nick Cave, especially this period. I remember watching this on TV. Saw Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds live many times. Great memories.

There definitely was a lot of good stuff in the 90s

Stunning performance. Also, only Mark Radcliffe could get away with calling Nick Cave a tart lol. Thank you for uploading this x

An interesting fact for you. They actually had their first kiss in the video for Henry Lee.

Amo Nick Cave... La colonna sonora della mia vita... Musica che ti ruba il cuore 💜🔥✨✨✨ Amo la sua folle genialità, mistero e fascino.... E in questo pezzo mi fa impazzire l'urlo di Blixa Bargeld 🤩😁😎

Wow, in less than four minutes you see their entire relationship, beautiful/amazing...
