Recent Acquisitions (Saturday 11th November 2023)

Hot on the heels of Friday's Beatles feast came this Dylan-related double-album from Chan Marshall, trading as Cat Power.
Bob Dylan's infamous 1966 UK tour with the Hawks (soon to become the Band) had culminated with two nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London in May 1966, which sets (the same on each night) have been recreated in their entirety on two discs by Cat Power.
Each night Dylan played two sets. The first half was a solo performance with Dylan singing his own compositions, and playing harmonica and guitar, to rapt audiences. After the break he would return with his band for an electrifying set culminating in Like A Rolling Stone, but to an increasingly hostile audience, a significant minority booing and hissing at what they considered both a sell-out and a cacophonous assault.
To be fair, amplification was in its infancy and the sound the audience heard may have been less pleasant to the ears compared to what we subsequently heard on soundboard tape recordings, copied to vinyl and sold as "bootlegs". One such famous bootleg, released in 1970, was called  In 1966 There Was ... (Live At The Royal Albert Hall) and contained the famous audience cry, "Judas!" (it was later discovered that this performance had actually taken place at Manchester's Free Trade Hall, 9 days before the first London appearance).
Cat Power's audience were equally rapt during both sets, though one member of the audience did obligingly shout out "Judas" at the appropriate moment. Cat Power restricted her performance to singing, with others playing guitar and harmonica, and managed to convey a great sense of intimacy and connection in the cavernous Hall.

Whilst growing up, Chan Marshall would sing along to her parents Bob Dylan record collection, while learning the words and adding her own harmonies and phrasing to the songs. On these concerts she is not trying to sound like Bob Dylan but in her own voice is singing them the way she grew up with them.
