Just thought I'd throw that in there.
I completely agree, he is one of the most talented guitarists around. As I've said before, Cave may be the star, but Harvey is clearly the conductor, when it comes to song arrangements, how they get played live, etc.
Also, yeah, that dvd is called God Is In The House and the bit of Blixa throwing a wobbly becasue his head-phones aren't working is hilarious.
Regarding their live shows pre and post-Blixa, I've seen one of each (unfortunately they don't tour NZ very often) and James Johnston is just as impressive onstage, IMHO. He's more involved in the playing of the songs, playing keyboards on some, guitar on others, whereas Blixa was only every so often.
James Johnston from the excellent Gallon Drunk, it needs to be said.
Mick Harvey was also one of the first people to sing the praises (and songs) of Serge Gainsbourg before it became trendy.
