Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' State Theatre set list

The two-hour performance pulled heavily from the latest album but included one more oldie than other recent shows.

Not that anyone left the State Theatre on Saturday night complaining – what a show, folks – but fans probably would've liked a few more older tunes and less from "Push the Sky Away." Cave actually did give Twin Citians one extra oldie, though: "Do You Love Me?," which he hasn't been performing at other recent shows.
