"Live Seeds" is the first official live Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album, including the never-studio-recorded "Plain Gold Ring", a cover of a Nina Simone song. It was recorded live, at various concerts throughout Europe and Australia, during the touring stage after the release of "Henry's Dream" in 1992-1993 and was intended to give the songs a raw feeling, as Nick Cave originally intended for that album before producing problems occurred.

The cover is a nod to Exile On Main Street by the Rolling Stones.
