Here's some photos from Nick Cave's gig at The Enmore Theatre tonight.
Nick Cave is a genuine Australian music legend. Unlike many of his generation who lost their mojo and grew complacent and boring from success, Nick Cave is still filled with more passion and venom than most half his age. His unique style and broad creative output is beyond compare.
In a cheeky move for this tour, his band Grinderman plays the support slot prior to Nick Cave's solo set which was filled out by his bearded Grinderman band mates.
Here's a clip of Grinderman performing on Later with Jools Holland.
For the gig tonight us photographers were restricted to shooting just one Nick Cave song, and none of Grinderman. Still, it was a privelege just watching.

I like the way he has his hand raised as if to say "Thou doth protest too much!"

I saw Nick and Grinderman on Friday night. My voice is still recovering. I really really enjoyed Grinderman.

I was lucky enough to see him perform when he toured the states four or five years ago. It was easily one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Been lurking for a while and thought it was time to comment. The first shot of Cave in this post is fantastic.
I really like your work. Wish I could my own concert photo career going more then it is... sigh!
Keep up the great work. I love checking your site.
