As phenomenal and wild and loud and triumphantly distorted as the original studio cut of The Mercy Seat is, this is my definitive version of it. The way Cave builds this song and keeps building it as the piano adds more and more cryptic notes is absolutely stellar.
This moment kind of matches the entire mood of this particular concert. Fantastic recording.
