That Cave has rehabilitated himself into music’s highest echelons was clearest with the arrival of Kylie Minogue, wrapped sweetly in his arms during “Where the Wild Roses Grow” and declaring her “undying, unwavering love” for him as he finished singing of bludgeoning her to death with a rock. What had looked like a pop abduction by dark forces in 1995 was now an A-list love-in, with the likes of Eddie Redmayne and Chris Martin swaying along in VIP. When Cave then gradually turned up the voltage on “The Mercy Seat” until it scorched Brighton’s skull, walked across the crowd like churning waters during demon shanty “Papa Won’t Leave You, Henry” and introduced the dark man Himself beneath a fittingly blood red sky on “Red Right Hand”, it was in celebration of the scaremonger he used to be rather than the stirrer of souls he is today.
