What a band ! Chris Hynde, the most beautiful singer, John Cale as a godfather and Nick Cave, the fabulous. Great vidéo, thanks a lot !

It blows my mind how f*cking genius John Cale is, that performance of ‘Fear is a Man’s Best Friend’ one of the greatest songs of all time, is electrifying. “Kind of hard to follow that” damn right Chrissie 👌 Three legends on one stage.

I can't believe how much John Cale's "Dying on the Vine" sounds like Nick Cave. Or should I say Nick Cave sounds just like John Cale's "Dying on the Vine". You can the hear the influence.

Listening to Chrissie Hynde I ralized that this is the woman that gave all the good voices to my early love feelings... First love, First dance, first sea, first ........

Waiting for 29, Sep 2024 ,next concert in Berlin, hallelujah 💜🌸💜🙏💜🌸💜

One Velvet , one Bad Seed and one Pretender aren't a Circle ... that is a massive STAR

"Dying on the vine " just sums it all up for those who know that they have so much more to give and perhaps also don't know how to move ahead, to gamble, take a risk, grasp the nettle and believe that what you have is something valuable that a wider world will get. John Cale is such a precious gift to the world. Gracious and generous, polite and caring yet forthright in his own way of what is right. More people need to pay attention to the likes of John Cale. PS the 3 of them make a great ensemble.

Cale just starting right off with the Thoughtless Kind is awesome

I really do like listening to John Cale. Quite a nice voice! Yep...

I went to this recording. Staggering stuff. AND met Robert Forster and Grant McLennan of The Go-Betweens at the bar. Top night.

Three absolute legends in three different genres of music. Fantastic!

Lifelong fan of Chrissie...Love her song writing skills, her voice and overall the 'cooler-than-a-polar' bear persona

The Ship Song kind of crushes all the others.... As much as I love all 3 artists, there's no denying that one...

i'm surprised john cale is so open and talkative. i don't think he would speak that much now but it's nice to see.

Love the Welsh accent to his voice, his insane rants and his pure passion for lyrical verse. Where to my son? I can't stop playing it and singing it in my head. I even sing it like him in the car and drivers must think i'm Bonkers :)

This whole gig is brillaint. I really love when Chrissie and Nick duet.

I remember being in the audience for this and so happy seeing them live. Especially Chrissie Hynde and Nick Cave. Thanks for uploading

This was beautiful.Every single song is so amazing.Her voice is like honey and smoke .

It's like opening up gifts for Christmas with all the talent on stage.

Ha, I was at that gig in Cardiff. Was in the merchant navy and found myself in Cardiff doing my ship's cooks certificate. Over that fortnight saw, Pretenders, Roxy Music and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Oh my God, Nick Cave the best singer ever! Love this man.

This little moment in time is a true gem. I am so thrilled to have happened upon it. What a perfect grouping of three incredible artists! Thank you. 💖

Probably the best female rock voice ever.

Cool! John Cale sounds really good, looks good, too!

Chrissie, for some reason reminds me of Patti Smith,tho each are so unique and great,I would love to see them do an album, or perform together,as for Nic Cave and John Cale,man they both are such great artists,what a fantastic show one of my favorite of all time

I've been a huge fan of Nick Cave for years and just today listened to several John Cale albums- You Tube led me here- and I thought wow that's where Nick Cave must have got it from so now I shall be spending money I don't have just like I did with Nick Cave years ago and buying all of John Cale's albums. Some boring information for you there.

Chrissie Hynde's voice, geez.

Oh man...I love when I get speechless....

how amazing would it have been to have been there.

all three of them are amazing!!!

Chrissie's voice....

Chrissie has absolute control of her voice (and her guitar).

Dang. I love all 3 of these people. Don't know who my favorite is so I won't even try. John Cale is vastly under-recognized. To me he was the most interesting member of Velvet Underground. I did NOT just trash Lou Reed there LISTEN to all his albums. Nick Cave has one of the best voices in the business at this point in time. Listening to this it's nearly impossible to reconcile his speaking voice with his singing voice! Listening to their darker sides,I tend to think of Nick and John as the brothers of Jim Morrison the family does not like to talk about. And Chrissie? Well....she's Chrissie....Such a wonderful voice.

The Ship Song is fantastic

That poor church vicar He writes a sermon with all his heart and soul, hoping to inspire someone, that someone turns out to be Nick Cave, then Nick goes out back and writes a song and the opening line is ‘I don’t believe in an interventionist god’

Love when Chrissie joins in on Henry Lee. Beautiful.

How come I never knew about this. This is amazingly wonderful. Thanks for posting

Thanks for posting...the greats...John Cale is coming to town tomorow..dlwp..Bexhill/yeah of all places.

Here for Cave and Cale, fall for Chrissie

always kid.....thanx chissy love

John Cale and Chrissie Hynde are so great!!

All 3 are peerless songwriters.

Three of the most amazing musicians ever put on earth. I couldn't have wished a better moment spent than right now listening to and viewing this video footage. Thank you for posting, you made my night.

Fantastic performance, so touching and still energetic.

Im like the biggest Nick fan, but i love that there's all this testosterone flying cross the room with Nick being amazing and loving John, the John feeling like he has to punk up his vibe for Nick, and Chrissie is just over here like aw shucks I'm gonna have an amazing timbre, great chops and simple, pretty punk era songwriting skills, and she tosses it off like "shit i hope that was good enough". She's so great, hahaha.

I recently discovered the genious of NC..what an underrated singer.im kinda glad that we got him for the few of us enjoying his awesome music! what an amazing artist! on another level

so nice to hear a real live concert of writer s and all are really wonderful ....

aWesome! ... amazinG!!

Wow. Three amazing talents on one stage.

wow john sings great here

The performance of Into My Arms by Nick Cave is very touching. The magic is captured. I am not saying the album version isn't great but I like this version better.

Cale ❤

What a gem!

El amigo cave, aquí en presencia de vacas sagradas de la historia de la música...a Cale no lo he visto en directo, a los otros dos sí (cave 2 veces!!😎)...Mi personalidad y gusto me llevan por los derroteros del mago de "jack the ripper", de la misma manera que queda claro en éste inusual video para la época, en la que cave aún era ese tipo jodidamente raro y del todo"maldito"para críticos musicales del tres al cuarto que no supieron ver más allá de sus pecados y no de sus redenciones...El tiempo a puesto las cosas en donde deben...y para muestra, éste documento gráfico, pata hacer boca a los que opinen igual...ó no!. A vuestra salud!!✌

良いメンバー！！　みんな大好き

Great concert!!

Very beautiful concert.

Great show thanks for uploading it x

This is absolutely fantastic. I am knocked sideways by the discovery that Nick Cave has a sensitive side.

Pure gold.

John Cale on 1, Nick Cave on 2, Chrissie Hynde on very best 3

It like being in time capsule in this place, I have enjoyed ever moment! Great circle!

This event would have been great to attend. Very cool. Wish it was another hour.

I love how everyone here has their own favorite! Also love that Chrissie does the duet part on Henry Lee - never liked that song before but it's beautiful in a setting like this, and the harmony really is key to it. And the concept of quite different artist doing one song each at a time in front of an audience in this way, magical! Great :)

Amazing!

absolutely class.

what a wonder, thanks!

awesome.

I have love for all three of these artists. Having seen both Nick and John live twice, I appreciate this video very very much -and would never expect them to share a stage. What is interesting is how Nick pushed songwriting as a storyteller singing from a narrative perspective the farthest, similar to Tom Waits. The business of storytelling, pushing the limits of songs he has done with great success. While his writing with piano is far more conventional than Birthday Party, he really created worlds within worlds. Not an easy thing to do in any way, but he approaches it very methodically and with discipline. Who could imagine how he would find his place as one of the greatest of all times? Nothing about Nick Cave in 1979 would predict his future growth and incredible presence artistically.

This is awesome

This was great! They all played well but the ending felt legendary! Ahhh VU

This is great.

Great show. Huge fan of all three. Glad this popped up on You Tube. Cale and Cave have virtually the same baritone voice ( and their names are only one letter apart ). If I close my eyes I don't think I could tell their voices apart.

Nick sempre ..... adoro sua voz,adoro vê-lo no palco.... grande presença.....

awesome influence

Fantastico

merci

Chrissie Hynde, just Chrissie Hynde!

This was great! Three complete professionals so we were always in safe hands. It does help to know the songs (e.g. John Cale's "Thoughtless Kind"). Brilliant! Thank you for posting it.

First class artis all three lovely set

Woooow, that version of Henry lee!.I cant believe how many hidden jewels Nick Cave has, cant stop finding things of him.

Wunderbar

For an introduction to the musicianship of the great John Cale, you could listen to the piano on Nick Drake's 'Northern Sky' or the viola on VU's 'Venus in Furs'. Intro to Nick Cave......'As I sat sadly by her side', or 'White Lunar' album with Warren Ellis. Chrissie Hynde.......'Kid', or 'Private life'

This is the best version of the Ship Song out there

F-ly nice...

super musicians

Ele é o cara...manda bem....e morou em SAMPA ..... Pompéia......

one ❤ ❤❤❤

never thought about this climax... unbelievable! who started this collaboration, genius! / heard Cale live that year in Jena, after that couldn't listen to the live-cd for years...

Omg Chrissie

The Subterania re-launched this year.Still has live gigs.

Hey Andrea I know that you haven't hear from me for a while. (Maybe because I got sick for a couple of years) But this clip was great. I really love Nick Cave. John Cale is super cool too. And, I Chrissie Hynde is awesome too. Thanks for this package of performers that I never thought would have existed.

OMG what Cave does man oh man...

21:21 (Dying on the vine lyrics) I've been chasing ghosts and I don't like it I wish someone would show me where to draw the line I'd lay down my sword if you would take it And tell everyone back home I'm doing fine I was with you down in Acapulco Trading clothing for some wine Smelling like an old adobe woman Or a William Burroughs playing for lost time I was thinking about my mother I was thinking about what's mine I was living my life like a Hollywood But I was dying on the vine Who could sleep through all that noisy chatter The troops, the celebrations in the sun The authorities say my papers are all in order And if I wasn't such a coward I would run I'll see you me when all the shooting's over Meet me on the other side of town Yes, you can bring all your friends along for protection It's always nice to have them hanging around I was thinking about my mother I was thinking about what's mine I was living my life like a Hollywood But I was dying, dying on the vine

Cale and Chrissie are great, but unfortunately for them it only puts emphasis on how monumental Nick is.

and yet : the songwriters circle with richard thompson in it with his guitar skills is also very adorable, and the recording of that live program is better.

Nick Cave has a very powerful voice, pretty incredible. Cale is powerful too but not has fine has Cale. She has great songs and a good voice.
