Grinderman Tickets

Raw and masterful! It is so rare to experience that level of power and performance. Totally overrides the ridiculous opening act.

Amazing. Perfect raw music experience. Just a band playing their songs with the most heartfelt conviction. The entire performance was on fire. Loud and chaotic. Hypnotic and beautiful. Simply amazing.

Words cannot describe the concert. I've seen Grinderman/Nick Cave & The Badseeds many of times, and have yet to be disappointed. I also always enjoy shows at the Warfield, it's a wonderful venue.

Nick and Grinderman put on a fantastic high energy show. The only issue was the tendency of SF audiences to be passive, like a cold fish. There was little engagement other than the people in the very front row shaking hands with Nick. People in the audience didn't move. The clapping was polite and muted quickly. The encore was expected. Please give me a rowdier, crazier crowd. SF used to be something.

The old timers definitely have it going on in terms of not just professionalism but energy. Nick Cave is as spry as a teen ager but with practiced grace. Warren Ellis is the other front man. Both Cave and Ellis seem to have diametrically opposed performance styles with Cave being artful and posed while Ellis enjoys being a spaz and doesn't really seem to care while having a great time gyrating on the floor with one foot in the air and one finger on a keyboard or hitting a high hat with a rattle. The drummer was a machine. Nick Cave looks much better without his mustache. Both the music and focus of this show was awesome with one obligatory encore that didn't go on too long.

Grinderman in live is a brilliant act. But they were on stage for less than 90 minutes, including the break. Very short and very disappointing compared to other shows.

They really got to it...from the first song to the encore they went at it full force. Full of energy and non stop tearing it up. Nick Cave never dissapoints. One the best shows ever.

Nick Cave is a musical genius of exceptional intellectual ability, creativity, originality, a man of unprecedented insight. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen and I wished it never ended.

Grinderman was the best show I've seen in years! Such a tight, intense band.

Loud, wild and 100% rock and roll! Nick Cave's Grinderman band is a fun show. This a fgreat live band w high energy and great riffs

Nick Cave has recaptured the passion and intensity of the Birthday Party with the added sophistication of his age and talents. He commands the stage with a powerfully sensual presence. The atmosphere he creates feels like you've walked into another world where poetry and sound engulf you, seduce you and sweep you off your feet. Grinderman Is the is yet another sexy evolutionary step in the incarnation of Nick's talents.

I seriously have no words for this show. It was so great, energizing, rocking, amazing and more amazing. Nick Cave and co. have so much energy, it infected the entire place. The best show I have ever been to!!!!

Lanky Nick Cave looks remarkably like Richard E Grant, moving like a nimble insect around the stage and touching the (deafened) front audience. But the biggest surprise was the bearded Robinson Crusoe lookalike who sang/guitar/violin/cymbals etc when he wasn't rolling on his back or some other amusing antic. The 2 other band members were rather static but Cave+Crusoe more than filled the space.

Cave & Ellis are at their peak! What a bunch of nuts on stage.

It's been a life long goal to see Nick Cave long, and I was not close to being disappointed. That voice, the lyrics, and the evolved talent of both himself, and his current band mates was worth much more than the 25.00 ticket. Can't wait to see what he is up to in 5, 10, 20 years. Downside: First Avenue was not the appropriate venue for this ensemble. Awkward spaces = everyone standing still and compacted. Also, the crowd wasn't the friendliest. The weird rudeness dampered the spirit of the moment.

The Grinderman show at First Ave was one of the best shows of the year and in the top 5 best shows I've seen, ever

I'VE SEEN NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS & I'VE NOW SEEN GRINDERMAN. GRINDERMAN IS CHAOS IN BEAUTY WITH SO MUCH ENERGY THE CD'S CAN'T COMPARE TO THEM LIVE. GO SEE THIS.

Grinderman is ten times better live than they are on disc (and their recordings are great), and they have improved with age without losing any of their edge. From a long time Bad Seeds fan, I love this outlet for some more lively tunes again. The mix was excellent and Nick's voice is amazing live.

This is by far the best show I have seen in a very long time. Nick Cave and the gang not only brought it, they kicked some major ass. Since there are so few dates they are playing, you need to take a road trip.

It's been twenty years since I last saw Nick Cave. He is still as sexy as ever. The set was pure Grinderman, no Bad Seeds. The band sounded fabulous. I wish I could relive the show or follow them on tour. I am a Cavehead!
