For his first song at Convocation Hall in Toronto on Saturday, the melancholy balladeer and post-punk icon Nick Cave offered. It was a suggestion of communion, not a self-referential declaration. And although his current series of solo-piano-and-Q&A concerts is called the Conversations with Nick Cave: An Evening of Talk and Music, his appearance here was more about commiseration – a gothic rocker turned grief counsellor – than questions and answers.
“So, I find that I walk around with my son,” continued the musician, whose forthcoming album with the Bad Seeds is called. “I was told by everybody not to worry, he lives in your heart. This didn’t make any sense to me. It was of no comfort to me whatsoever. Until someone said to take him out of your heart and put him next to you. That made a huge amount of sense to me. So, I feel I walk around with this superpower essentially, which is the spirit of my dead child.
What happened at Convocation Hall was nothing short of extraordinary. And his fans did ask him anything. Somebody wondered if Cave wanted to go with him to a Phish concert on New Year’s Eve. A singer in the audience said he had literally died the last time he had performed, necessitating an on-stage resuscitation. To help the man get over his performance fright, Cave invited him on stage.
