Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds tower over day two of All Together Now, back to play Ireland for the first time in four years.
The death of a second son, in May, has added a deep emotional pallor to Cave's gigs around Europe this summer. And his shows were already emotional enough to begin with. He demands adulation, akin to Morrissey as he reaches into the crowd throughout, standing like a warrior on the barrier that he prowls all set as the nine-piece Bad Seeds look like the coolest backing band imaginable.
