In an exciting twist, the November concert received a significant endorsement when legendary musician Bob Dylan took to his infrequently used social media platform to express his support for the event. This approval from such an iconic figure adds immense value to the performance and highlights its importance in the contemporary music scene.

Dylan shared his thoughts, stating, “I saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and was particularly moved by the song ‘Joy,’ where he sings, ‘We’ve all had too much sorrow; now it’s the time for joy.’ His words resonated deeply with me, and I thought to myself, yes, that’s exactly right.” This acknowledgment from Dylan underscores the profound emotional impact of Cave’s music and his ability to connect with audiences on a personal level.

Responding to Dylan’s heartfelt message, Nick Cave took to his own platform, the Red Hand Files, to express his gratitude, describing Dylan’s words as “a lovely pulse of joy that penetrated my exhausted, zombied state.” This interaction highlights the mutual respect and admiration between two of music’s most influential artists, showcasing the power of music to uplift and inspire.

Cave further reflected on his experience, stating, “I felt a sense of pride in touring with The Bad Seeds, offering through our rock ‘n’ roll shows an antidote to the despair of today’s world, transporting people to a place beyond the troubling political landscape.” His words illustrate the transformative power of music, emphasizing its role in providing solace and joy amidst challenging times.

“I was elated to know that Bob Dylan had been in the audience, and since I may not get the chance to thank him in person, I’ll take this opportunity to express my gratitude here. Thank you, Bob!” This heartfelt expression of appreciation highlights the deep connections artists can have with each other and the impact they have on one another’s work.

The highly anticipated concert, Wild God – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Live in Paris, will stream on April 7 via the ARTE Concert YouTube channel and the ARTE.tv website. However, North American fans will have to wait a bit longer, with the broadcast set to be available starting June 1. “We assure you that your patience will be rewarded!” ARTE promised on social media, building excitement for this remarkable event that promises to touch the hearts of many.
