Nick Cave: the setlist from the concert at Festival La Prima Estate. How the night went, with Emiliana Torrini and Sleaford Mods opening

The second day of the La Prima Estate festival, in Lido di Camaiore, was dominated by the only Italian date of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, who delivered a show of over two and a half hours that turned Parco BussolaDomani into a kind of collective ritual.
Backed by the Bad Seeds, with Warren Ellis front and centre and Colin Greenwood on bass, Cave ran through a set spanning his entire career, giving plenty of room to his latest album, "Wild God".

The opening with "Get Ready For Love" and "From Her To Eternity" immediately ignited the concert, with the Australian singer-songwriter among the crowd from the very first moments, in a constant physical and emotional exchange with the audience. At 68, Cave still displays impressive energy: he runs across the stage, kneels down, reaches the piano and keeps seeking direct contact with the front rows, a central element of a performance that never lets up in intensity. The presence of the gospel choir heightened the show's spiritual dimension, while the Bad Seeds backed every song with their usual precision and power.
Among the evening's most striking moments were "O Children," during which Cave picked up a child from the front rows, the return to the setlist of "Train Long-Suffering" after more than thirty years, a hugely participatory "Red Right Hand," sung in unison by the crowd, and the overwhelming closing pair of "Jubilee Street" and "Hiding All Away." There was even a request for the audience to put away their phones to fully experience one of the concert's most intimate songs.
Before Cave's performance, the stage saw Dove Ellis with his stripped-down folk, Emilíana Torrini, warmly welcomed at sunset, and Sleaford Mods, who brought their usual blend of electronics, post-punk and provocation.
