Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert

In the organizer's words:

INTERNATIONAL SUMMER FESTIVAL 2024

Under her artist name Cat Power, US musician Chan Marshall has perfected the art of cover songs over the past three decades. Three of her eleven studio albums since 1995 alone are cover albums on which songs by the Rolling Stones or Lana Del Rey sound as if they were originally by Cat Power. With a melancholy, smoky voice, subtle instrumentation and a minimalist groove, she traces the essence of the songs. The FAZ called this "reverse pop", the "re-transformation of the mass product of music into something intimate and idiosyncratic". Cat Power has now covered one of the most legendary concerts in pop history: Bob Dylan's 1966 performance at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, which became famous as a live recording with the mislabeling "Royal Albert Hall". You can also hear the protests of the audience when Dylan picked up the electric guitar in the second part of the concert, breaking with the purist folk tradition and opening the door to rock music. Cat Power reinterpreted this concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 2022 and released it again as a live album. It is both a tribute to Bob Dylan and a clever transcription of a pop artist who is now bringing Dylan's legendary concert back to life in the Great Hall of the Elbphilharmonie as part of the Kampnagel Summer Festival.
