Cat Power

In the organizer's words:

Last November, Cat Power took to the stage of the Royal Albert Hall in London to perform a song-for-song recreation of one of the most legendary and transformative live concerts of all time.

The concert took place at Manchester's Free Trade Hall in May 1966 and was long known as the "Royal Albert Hall Concert" due to a mislabeled bootleg. In the original performance, Bob Dylan switched from acoustic to electric in the middle of the show, incurring the wrath of folk purists and changing the course of rock'n'roll forever.

In her own interpretation of this historic evening, the artist also known as Chan Marshall embodied each song with equal parts conviction and grace and a palpable sense of comfort, ultimately conveying the anarchic tension of Dylan's performance with a warm and radiant joy. The live album "Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert" features Marshall's captivating performance, which both lovingly pays tribute to her hero's historic influence and brings an astonishing new vitality to many of his most revered songs.
