This show was a benefit for The Greenfield Center School. This was the first of two dates opening for Sonic Youth. The other was 4/15/05, Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania.

A video was made of this concert which runs about 50 minutes. Does anyone have a copy of this?

Lord Help The Poor And Needy:

I'd heard that Cat Power, who is made up of one woman, was really pretty crazy. As in mentally disturbed. Like, she'll just run off stage mid-show or whatever. She came out and played her terribly sad songs on piano and guitar, and everything seemed normal. But you could see she was a little weird. At one point she made a motion toward her piano that indicated she wanted to strangle it. After one song, she raised a "thumbs down" up in the air, as if to say, "I fucked that up." Really good songs, either way.
