[smakawhat]

Wow people actualy paid $45 bucks for this no talent hack...

Yes, the show was a mess in some parts, but it wasn't nearly as horrible as people are making out. She played so many songs! The only ones she messed up were ones that she rarely plays that were requests from the audience. She played many demos that are rarely heard.
Yes, she was talking to the audience, but she was making sense. She was just being herself and having a great time. It was unlike any other concert I've ever been to but I had the time of my life.
The only part that really annoyed me was that she had the girl with the iphone filming it which was blocking my view.

[RatBastard]

She was hardly coming close to making sense.  Wow what a train wreck.  This show was one of those that years form now I'll be saying "Yeah I was there" and not in a good way.  You could damn near see the heroin dripping out of the holes in her arms.

[Vas Deferens]

Fiona......but she couldn't hit the high notes, particularly Violet. SHE GAVE US THE EFFING MICROPHONE FOR THE CHORUS! That in itself is a BIG mess up.  And don't pretend it wasn't horrible!

Anybody who did not find that abortion last night horrible might be as delusional as that racist bitch is.

Okay, only a few select individuals will be able to answer this. Of those who were at the following shows, please rate them in order of disasterousness... anyway you want. Maybe use boxcars instead of stars or just place them in some order. Whatever works for you. Just please explain your reasons because we all love reading this stuff.    All shows were at the 9:30 Club.

Sunday night's Hole
The Vines
Cat Power* (The time that everyone was really pissed off at her.)

*For those who attended the Cat Power show, please, only those who hated the show. That's purely for fairness so we have an even playing field to compare shows by.

[azaghal1981]

Was this the Cat Power show from last year?

If so, Hole was much, much worse.

Cat Power did sound doped up but the torture had about an average concert length. There was also no awkward banter between songs.

[Jaguar]

Was this the Cat Power show from last year?

Not sure but seems it was a little more than a year ago. Could be wrong. Sir HC would know as it apparently made a big impact on him. LOL I know that it wasn't the last time she was around though.

[azaghal1981]

Oh ok.


The last time she was around, she was a mess as well.

[Sir HC]

Wait, was that the Cat Power show where in the middle of a song she said "I need to pee" and ran off stage.

That is near the bottom of my list, mainly I had to deal with the "Cut out the reverb in the monitors" (i had), but the house reverbed back.  THAT was a horrid show, this was a cake walk in comparison,

[Jaguar]

^ Don't know as I've never seen her live. I just remember you and a number of other people since then talking about what a mess she is and that the show was a complete disaster. But it was one specific show that always seemed to get the most shrugs.

[Firebutt McGee]

I remember Cat Power crying and turning her back to the audience at Tonic in NYC in like...2003? Now THAT was a weird show, but nowhere near the 3-hour Saw trap that Courtney put us through last night.

How amazing would this have been if NPR broadcasted it? Basically, best bootleg ever.

[azaghal1981]

They would have cut out all the banter like they did with the New Pornos show. The recording would have been one hour long.

[eltee]

Sounds like Hole was worse than The Vines. At least The Vines didn't speak on and on incoherently, their playing and singing was just the train wreck. I still bring up Badly Drawn Boy...I just remember folks saying how terrible that was...did he start crying....or...was mad / drunk?
(Re: Cat Power, yes, the show she ran off stage)
