Featured Review

Chan Marshall and co put on an amazing performance! I've heard terrible stories about her walking off stage in the past etc. as she put it, she's a grown up now and she put on a seasoned show.

However Hammerstein ballroom is a mess. They wouldn't let anyone go out for a smoke. No re-entry... I get it but hate it. Worse though was asking for a cup of water with my beer and being told they don't give out cups for water. WHAT?! Water is free! And they were trying to charge $6 for water when beers start at $7. That's a joke! Embarrassing business practices.

I actually thought this show was EXTREMELY hot (meaning the venue was way too warm and stuffy) and although her performance was interesting, it was a real downer. She sang mostly slow drawn out depressing songs and maybe two more up-beat songs. Overall, it was a bummer.

The first third of the show was fantastic and the last few songs were great, but the middle chunk was sort of harder to enjoy. It got more experimental and harder to dance to, and I was straining to hear Chan's voice over her band. The drummer was fantastic by the way, powerful but meticulous - really felt she was the driving force of the whole band.
I bought the tickets understanding that this is the Sun tour, and was expecting mostly new songs. Still, I think everyone would have enjoyed hearing one or two of her more well-known songs. I like her new music and was happy to hear it live, but I always really appreciate it when musicians give the fans a little of what they hope for.
Overall, an enjoyable and easy-going show, but would have loved a nod to the old Cat Power.

Her voice is off the charts but the venue, view of stage and the fact that she made people wait 'til nearly 10p to kick it off was absurd. Why the 7p time on the ticket btw?

She wouldn't open up and sing, which is frustrating as her beautiful voice was always the reason to go see her.

Pretty bummed/disappointed and won't be going to another CP show again.

Cat power killed it but her FOH engineer was a mutt. Sound mix was awful, couldn't hear her voice and kick and snare were way too loud. It's not def leppard, dude! If you weren't standing right by the FOH console the show sounded terrible. Too bad because the band was great!

The opening act, Angel Haze, rapped on stage for a few songs to a recorded track behind. Her vocals and writing were impressive, but as a live show...eh. Cat Power came out strong for the first song or two, but even then you could barely hear her voice. When they finally turned it up, it didn't help: she sang with less range then she uses in her recordings, and did nothing interesting vocally. Overall, the choice of songs could have been a lot better and the progression through the show was not moving. A lot of slow song, which may have been interesting and were clearly heartfelt, but they really didn't deliver. I really wanted to leave in the middle. Even the band members looked like they wanted to leave. Also, it was short, which I guess was lucky in this case. The lights & video on the screen behind her on stage were great.

Cat Power was really good. We were right in front of the stage so we could hear and see well. However, I think there may have been some mic issues. Chan's energy was beautiful and she is very natural on stage allowing herself to be genuine while engaging with the audience. The photography behind the band on the screen was very lovely and went with the song titles. I wish there could have been an honcore but every show I have seen at Terminal 5 does not ever end with an honcore - so why would this one be different. I have a feeling it may be policy - Cat Power is beautiful and I felt honored to take my family to see her perform.

The show was great, only wish it'd been a little longer and included more of her older materiel. The songs she did play had cool, different arrangements. I love the new recording, Sun, and she performed most of it, along with an impressive backup band and some pretty high production values: sound, lights (very nice!), even smoke at one point...
The first few songs were a bit dodgy tune-wise on the vocals, seemed she had the flu-- not like she was high or overly emotional as I've heard can happen at her shows. One woman I met at the show said 'You never know what you'll get with her, but it's always worth it"
I got what I came for: a rich, live experience from an artist who's fairly new to me. Marshall was professional and after warming up, pitch perfect. I love how you can hear every word when she sings, her lyrics are often very meaningful for me. Very cool.

The kind of show where you just leave this world for a while and swirl away into the sound and visuals. (And no, I wasn't on anything except a couple brown ales.) Chan Marshall's soulful, soaring, unique vocals are a thing of amazing, other-worldly beauty, and her unusual but powerful stage presence locked me in. I've loved her music for many years, but the show wasn't what I expected - more electric and muscular and kinetic than I thought it would be (though there were many passages of quiet, aching beauty, too). She played mainly from her newest album (Sun) and did only a few of her earlier songs. She didn't "dialogue" with the audience much at all, which would usually have the effect of making the performance less intimate. But in this case the intimacy was all in the music itself, and it worked just fine. She did at one point - suddenly and oddly - tell us that she hoped we wouldn't get the flu. She made some other gestures that I think indicated maybe some of the band were ill ...and perhaps that's why they didn't do an encore ...which was the only disappointment I felt all night. Well, that and the fact that she didn't play "He War."

I got into Cat Power in the Moon Pix then the Covers albums. I don’t love all the songs or even know them all but the ones that I do love….I really love. Cat Power was music I never thought I would get a chance to see performed live. So, I could not believe it when I saw tour dates with Austin listed. I went in with no expectations, I figured she would play new songs and the old stripped down emotional songs are not great for music halls anyway. I was partially right; she played a few older songs that pretty much brought down the house. The opening number was a slow mix up that was just perfect. I was impressed with the sound of the band, the lights and visuals where really cool and I got to see an artist that has been on my list and in my own heart for over 15 years. Her voice was amazing. In Austin there is always a show to see, but seeing Chan Marshall is something else entirely.

The ACL Live crowd gave her at least a 3-4 minute standing ovation at the end. I think so many people never thought they would see her live and frankly did not want to let her go. It was almost sad; like we were all worried we would never see her again. She must have felt that as well, because she just kind of lingered on stage and did not know how to get off. Pretty powerful.

The set list consisted mostly of her new album. She had a couple of her older songs. She didn't do an encore, but the atmosphere through out her performance was great nonetheless. Chan Marshall interacts with the audience (not so much as a group, but individually). So if you're ever hoping to get recognized by an artist that maybe they'll touch you or look at you, there's a great chance that that will happen at a Cat Power concert.

I have been following Cat Power for over 15 years - have every CD and have seen her several times (some better than others). Was so excited to be in Oakland CA for the night of the elections and to celebrate with some great dancing and music. Opening band was an assualt on my senses and Cat Power started late, lacked Power, cohesion, overall entertainment quality or sincerity. Opted to go to the lobby to watch the President's acceptance speech. Will probably not see her again, but will always love her music and keep sending her appreciation for her beautiful voice, insightful lyrics and ability to be adventurous and always willing to change her music style and expression.
