I like the ...unwaveringness (is that a word?!) of the recorded version, I think it fits the song beautifully, but that performance was awesome as well.
By unwavering do you mean like, an Ian Curtis or Nico type of delivery? Sort of emotionally stark? If so I can see where you're coming from and can see how that would suit his type of music. I just love the raw emotional power in that other version, it seems like Nick Cave is about to break down and start sobbing or something.

Here are a couple of my favorite recent Nick Cave video clips.

Actually, by "unwavering" I was more thinking of the tempo and structure of the track, the way it's built as a series of powerful leitmotifs (at least, that's how I'd describe it), and I always thought that particular structure was the perfect foil to the anguished vocals, and the tension between those two things is one of the reason I love that song. In that live version, I kinda miss that tension - mind you, I'm with you on the raw emotional power part...

If that makes sense?
