Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Concert History

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds were formed in 1983 in West Berlin, Germany by two former members of the Australian band The Birthday Party: Nick Cave (vocals, songwriter, keyboards, harmonica) and multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey. The duo were joined by Einstürzende Neubauten member Blixa Bargeld (guitar), Hugo Race (guitar), and former Magazine member Barry Adamson (bass, piano). Cave's then girlfriend Anita Lane was also a creative influence and occasional lyricist.

Feb 05, 2022

HI Guys, I am looking for somebody who saw Nick Cave and the Bed Seeds at the concert in Warsaw in Poland in 1997. I was there with my boyfriend ( now my husband). and NicK Cave invited me to the stage and we were dancing together ! I decided to find photos or videos from that concert . long time ago but maybe...... . Any ideas how and where should I be looking for? Hugs from Poland Iwona
