    Great Nick Cave song...band played it once to my knowledge in 95 at a classic Red Rocks show (god bless YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAMduJ8733g) - obvious Ed wasn't too thrilled with the performance - never thought it would be played again.

    But always hoped!

    I think Falling Down is next in line! then maybe they can tackle last soldier

    it;s cool - I was amazed to find a vid of it...crazy times we live in. Just think how fucked it is that everything going forward will be so well documented (except eV solo shows :) the big question i have for you is...why the hell aren't you at Chicago II tonight??

    Cool, thanks for posting that. I have 2 questions.

    1. Is Jeff playing a Chapman stick?
    edit: guess not...on a second look I see that he's plucking the strings

    2. Was that show during daylight or do they just light up Red Rocks that bright during the show? I've never been to a show there, I've just been there during the day. Can't wait to see one there though.
