That's an incredible talent if you can appreciate the Theremin its an instrument played without touch and comes from 1928 Russian Professor Léon Theremin. Nick Cave himself has the ear for the unique talent so he probably asked him to open for them. Shame you didn't feel the beauty in the resonance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956394747344262101.post-52601397152775723322010-11-16T18:38:00.152-05:002010-11-16T18:38:00.152-05:00Hey I have a bunch of videos from the show posted ...Hey I have a bunch of videos from the show posted on my youtube page<br /><br />www.youtube.com/probablegroundsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956394747344262101.post-46471685295566048912010-11-15T16:40:49.772-05:002010-11-15T16:40:49.772-05:00Grinderman put on a very powerful show - Cave was ...Grinderman put on a very powerful show - Cave was in mint form.<br />Armen Ra...while I watched that I experienced a first - I felt mezmorized and angered all at the same time. <br />I am not knocking the guy's talent - it just made me want to go out and buy a bunch of flyswaters, and UFO posters.Dokta Owangenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956394747344262101.post-6368927022565002472010-11-14T22:19:15.756-05:002010-11-14T22:19:15.756-05:00Certainly one of the best shows I've ever seen...Certainly one of the best shows I've ever seen.

While I don't usually research an opening act very much, in this case, I made an exception. I think the choice of Armen Ra is inspired. I had never even heard of a Theremin before, nor had I heard of Ra. But now that I know what to expect I am thrilled that I'll be seeing him! I encourage other Cave fans to check out Ra and his music a bit before the show so that they can truly appreciate what they are seeing and hearing.Sister Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956394747344262101.post-59258487377833438512010-11-12T15:07:38.416-05:002010-11-12T15:07:38.416-05:00I'm with Jrazy as regards Armen Ra - the guy p...I'm with Jrazy as regards Armen Ra - the guy played the theme from 'The Godfather' without a trace of irony. Discussion of his performance of Ave Maria is prohibited. <br /><br />More to the point, Grinderman provided a fearsome spectacle last night - 'Heathen Child' was a particular standout for me. The man's voice often strays from the song but he remains one of our greatest musicians and a splendid showman to boot.snagglepussnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956394747344262101.post-34618233891144714052010-11-12T14:23:17.245-05:002010-11-12T14:23:17.245-05:00An amazing show and I was blown away by the sounds...An amazing show and I was blown away by the sounds that Warren put out there...

I stand behind my question though... this was not the proper audience for his talent, in my opinion.
