NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS
- The Road To God Knows Where / Live At The Paradiso

This release is great for Cave fans that probably have the VHS copies of both these releases, but can now get them in pristine quality in one single shot. The Road To God Knows Where is an intimate look at Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds (Blixa Bargeld, Mick Harvey, Thomas Wydler, Kid Congo Powers, Roland Wolf) as they tour across North America during February and March 1989. The focus is more on the bus and backstage moments ranging from humorous and tense to sometimes monotonous (as a lot of time is spent traveling and waiting). Extra material includes City Of Refuge and The Song - A Short Film By Uli M. Schueppel. If The Road To God Knows Where wasn't shot in black & white, it would have been a different experience altogether.
This is contrasted by the more vivid colours of the classic Live At The Paradiso show. Here the songs are performed emotion and gusto, and include The Mercy Seat, Jack The Ripper, The Ship Song, Tupelo, Deanna, The Good Son, The Carny, Papa Won't Leave You Henry, The Weeping Song, In The Ghetto, From Her To Eternity, and New Morning. A great package by an important artist at the alternative end of the spectrum, offering quality value instead of a rip-off.
