Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

March 3, 1989

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds join Deirdre in-studio on March 3, 1989, for a loose-limbed acoustic set following the release of “Tender Prey.” The set includes two bona fide Cave classics (“The Mercy Seat” and “The Carny”) and an appealingly ragged selection of covers.

Visual footage of the performance was also captured in Uli M. Schueppel's documentary film "The Road to God Knows Where," depicting five weeks of the US leg of the band's 1989 tour.
