Cat Power (vuart)
We saw Cat Power in March 2024 and wrote, “The idea of this concert came from Cat Power’s love for Bob Dylan and her obsession of Bob Dylan’s “Royal Albert Hall Concert” in 1966 (which is actually a mislabeled bootleg for the Dylan’s Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1966). The famed original performance saw Dylan playing a traditional acoustic and harmonica set… but then, midway in his show, he switched to electric – and that drew a lot of outrage from the purists in the crowd, who did not want their rock ‘n’ roll in their folk. Cat Power took on the task recreating the original Dylan concert, song-for-song… but in her own unique singing style and arrangement. The first part of the show, is definitely a quieter set. The stage light is dimmed, the hall lights are turned off, it’s like you’re watching a musical. The audience was extremely respectful and quiet, you can hear a pin drop (or a guy sipping his drink). The focus is on Cat Power, with acoustic guitars from Henry Munson and harmonica/pianist Aaron Embry*.”
