Cat Power Concert
I saw Cat Power 'live' tonight, it was awesome, she also waved at me.
A 4 piece band, Cool Keyboard guy, Long Sleeved Guitarist, Huge Hair Drummer and Tall Bassist.
Chan was wearing her usual outfit, green long sleeved shirt unbuttoned at the top, jeans, white loafers and a thin black tie.
Started out with a cover of The Animals 'House of the Rising Sun'. Went on to do a couple including 'Lord, Help the Poor and Needy' segued into 'Metal Heart' and an indescribable rendition of Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain" after a low key break with 'Lost Someone' (James Brown) and 'Rambling (Wo)man'
'Sea of Love' the crowd favorite followed one Jukebox's 'Woman Left Lonely'
After that they straight away went into 3 hits with 'The Greatest', 'Lived in Bars' and 'Where is My Love'.
'Dark End of the Street' came next. Followed by an Italian "Angelitos Negros" The
Can't remember what ended the set, but the band started improvising while Marshall took a bouquet of carnations and started flinging flora into the crowd. No encore was given despite the standing ovation, but she did start looking for things to feed the hungry mob including two of the set lists.
Note - Pic is not from the same night and not the same hair drummer, but she looks like that though. Also I didn't have a notepad, so this is all from memory of course.
It was a pretty decent gig, would have of course liked more of her tunes like 'Maybe Not', 'Colors and the Kids' or 'Cross Bones Style'. An encore would have been nice too if she had gone back to the abandoned piano/guitar. No 'Space Oddity' here, but I will get my Bowie some day Miss Marshall.
PS- On the waving story, it's true and I have a friend who can verify it. She asked for the lights to be turned up and the first friendly face/wave was yours truly. Ha!
