They Came So Far for Beauty
I own every album recorded by Nick Cave and every album recorded by Leonard Cohen, so I was very keen to see Nick and others perform in the unique Cohen tribute show – Came So Far for Beauty. There were three performances of the show. Reviews of the first show on the Friday night were provided in The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald. I was lucky to be able to see the final show on the Sunday night. Seeing I made a list of all 34 songs played by a moveable feast of 14 different vocalists, I thought I would indulge myself with my own review of the show.

UPDATE: some reviews and views of the shows by other people can be seen at Flop Eared Mule's site, plus the sites of Chris Spedding (includes a few photos), James McParlane (who got a much better seat than I – and for free too by the look of it), Polywise (some more photos), Suburban Howl, Sister Buckle (also got a better ticket than me despite buying them at the last minute – what's going on here?), one faint deluded smile, and finally, even a brief comment from one of the performers on her own site!
