6/26/04 - NYC, Prospect Park, "Neil Young Tribute Concert"

Setlist:
Mr. Soul - 3:45
The Needle And The Damage Done - with Bonfire Madigan

After her after performance at East River Park, Chan went to Prospect Park to sing at this Neil Young Tribute concert organized by Hal Willner. I only have the "Mr. Soul" track that was recorded by the same taper as the East River Park concert. Sound quality is great stereo. Chan sounds really good on this. Cant seem to find much information on the backing band for this concert.

Short comment

The moments that worked were arresting in ways both predictable (Marshall slouching in a chair and half-whispering the stark verses of “The Needle And The Damage Done”)...

Review and Song List

Cat Power’s Chan Marshall, looking beautiful and sexy in a tank top and capris, skipped onstage with a lit cigarette, sat jauntily facing the audience and gave an exuberant rendition of “Mr. Soul.” The only sign of her famous stagefright was the speed with which she darted off when she’d finished singing – the band hadn’t even wrapped up the tune. But her unceremonious exit was in keeping with the spirit of the night – performers slipped in and out of the backing band, singers wandered up to the mic as casually as roadies at a soundcheck. (Chan later returned to do “The Needle and the Damage Done” which my friends said was really good but I missed due to a really annoying situation re bathroom facilities.)
