Back in 2017, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds played an emotional concert at Denmark’s Royal Arena, which was captured on camera and released as a concert film titled Distant Sky.
The film previously had a limited release, but the band recently decided to make it available for free on YouTube as a Christmas gift to their fans.
The Royal Arena was a stop on the group’s tour in support of their highly acclaimed sixteenth studio album Skeleton Tree.
While the set list was focused on the new record, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds also used the opportunity to reach deep into their back catalog, playing songs from their early career like “From Her to Eternity,” the title track of the band’s debut album from 1984.
Distant Sky was first released in early 2018 when it was screened in theaters for one night. After that, the film was made available for streaming on Cave’s website The Red Hand Files but ended up being taken down after several days.
“I’ve been getting many letters on The Red Hand Files asking about access to the Distant Sky Live in Copenhagen movie. Here it is! With Love at Christmas,” Cave wrote on social media.
