Of course, Cat Power does not disappoint. Audiences may initially be lulled in by sweet music and somewhat insightful lyrics, but when all boils down, she needs only to captivate by voice. This particular performance was offset by what we’ll say were soundboard malfunctions (At one point a couple of disgruntled fans began chanting “Kill the soundboard guy”); however, the performance maintained professional fluidity mainly through vocal dexterity(Well, and a very patient band). High points of the afternoon included an always-incendiary rendition of “Fortunate Son,” crooned rather than sung. It may have just been the heat, but we were all lulled by the power of the voice of a skinny jean-ed lady bouncing about on a stage small enough it barely contained her energy. Guess the iconic Streisand also taught her a thing or two, cause’ no one can rain on her parade.
