Fan Review

Saw Cat Power live, saint valentine's eve in Brooklyn, NYC, heart of Williamsburg, land of the cool, at north 6th, venue of the high school auditorium-esque. Chan shines, shines bright thru the night cover your bright eyes this is the real-ness of being. Ms. Marshall opened with her group, featuring Matt on guitar and Margaret on violin. A fancy man the drummer was him. Chan herself sounded soft & strange, with child eyes and heart & strings. she moved thru the fair, a number of those from "You Are Free". After a set with the group, Chan took the ivories by her lonely. Started with a new one, a soft one, a one we are & have been waiting for. We want more. A few other new to-me-ears cheers, I heard inbetween sips of beers. Chan sounded good, confident, every song straight thru. The audience was sweet, attentive, appreciative. A number of couples nearby smooched, myself too shy to look. The band came back at the end, to finish the eve, "American Flag" was the closer indeed. A perfect set, no encore, and none was needed cause how could she give more? Everyone smiled, some people frowned, some girls were sad & some boys looked down. But we all were together in the sadness of being. Chan takes us with light and just keeps on seeing.
