Only Nick Cave could transform the Royal Arena at Copenhagen into such an intimate venue. This has to be up there with my top three best-ever concert films. It sounds like a cliche but you really felt you were there. So much so that on the worldwide one-night screen last night (April 12th) the audience were cheering after each song and shouting for more at the end. A peerless performer with a mighty band.
