Then in August, Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago, followed by a return to Europe to play 4 more concerts. A show in Denmark, and three more festival appearances in Norway, Finland and Sweden.

The above tracklisting is from the BBC6 broadcast, excellent stereo soundboard audio.

Over at the Obelisk Arena, Chan Marshall – aka Cat Power – managed to be brooding and intense even in broad daylight. But the heat was too much for some: Marshall had to interrupt her performance to call for a medic for a young woman wilting at the front.

Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, adds welcome, awkward unpredictability as the sun lowers. “It’s up to you to be your own hero,” she sings on “Nothin’ But Time”. Being on stage seems hard enough for a woman for whom stage-fright is second nature. Mumbling between songs, she leads her excellent band in raggedly exciting rock’n’roll that sounds dissatisfied and unfinished.

Review and Picture
http://thequietus.com/articles/12921-latitude-2013-review

 Cat Power’s Chan Marshall gamely picks up the waving baton later on, giving us some friendly hand-scrunching when she comes on stage, clasping a mug of tea and awkwardly rearranging her mic stand. This slight uncomfortableness carries through the entire set, a residual glimpse of the stage fright that’s plagued her before, but now it tempers the set with a faltering sturdiness. If anything, she seems more confident than ever, opening with ‘The Greatest’ and turning it on its head. On record, it’s a languid ode to accepted failings, piano-led and gently gilded by violins; now, based around a spindly guitar, it builds gradually into a gargantuan torch song, every drop of pain wrung out. From hereon in, the intensity sustains, with tracks from last year’s Sun ‘Cherokee’ and ‘Manhattan’ revolving around the emotional chest-kick that is ‘Metal Heart’. By the time Marshall departs, having thrown bottles of water and flowers out into the crowd, there’s a tangible sense of loss, a feeling that that was a one-off.

Dashing back to the Obelisk Arena, Cat Power puts forward a humble and bashful semblance as the sun sets for the first evening here at Latitude Festival. Her initials emblazoned across the back of both her leather [and then secondary denim] jacket- interestingly, a common stage look for both leading ladies on the main stage this weekend [see Karen O] – Chan Marshall woos the crowd with a set largely lifted from her long awaited returning release, Sun – her first since 2006′s The Greatest. The raw and undeniable husk of Power’s ‘Manhattan’ envelopes the evening crowd whilst we’re treated to rare bonus opus ‘Dreams’ as well as a bold cover of a Lou Reed track. Dishing flowers out to the faithful front row, Marshall bows out with an unassuming cool.

Wow, was ''Dreams'' played?

That would be as surprise, considering that the setlist has been basically the same for weeks now (with the exception of the encore in Rome and the shorter setlists in a few festivals). But who knows? Well, of course we know who knows...
If we don't find the answer ourselves, we'll add it to our "questions list".
