Cat Power was breathtaking. We got there early enough to nab great seats, and went on to watch perhaps the finest (and certainly the most punctual) concert I've ever seen. Far from being the disaster/therapy-session Cat Power shows are renowned for, Chan Marshall played for almost two-and-a-half nonstop hours, performing with soul, spirit, and a touch of grief. Highlights included an altogether different (richer, fuller) version of "I Don't Blame You," and a elegiac cover of "Knocking on Heaven's Door." She closed with a White Stripes tune, but even that was terrific.
(The opener, Entrance, who did a Devendra Banhart-meets-Led Zeppelin schtick, on the other hand, stunk to high heaven.)
