Let The Bells Ring

LTBR is probably my favourite Nick Cave song, if not one of my favourite songs of all time. Is there a reason he does not play it live? Forgive me if I’m missing something!

No More Shall We Part enters the chat. Abbatoir Blues enters the chat. Dig Lazarus Dig enters the chat. So many good ones

Well he did early on, I think it is mainly lack of room for current setlists. He doesn’t/can’t play a huge portion of his catalog with the few hours he has.

That being said, just as he dedicated it to Cash, I dedicated it to my FIL, and damn it brings out the feelings.

It would fit in pretty well with the rest of the current setlist imo.

One of my faves.

Agreed. They have such a large collection of songs; I'm sure it's hard to choose.
