🐆 Cat Power — Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat (Bob Dylan) — live in SF — 2024

Cat Power, a/k/a Chan Marshall, sings the Bob Dylan song "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, California on March 8, 2024. Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat originally appeared on Bob Dylan's seventh studio album Blonde On Blonde (1966). Dylan played the song in his concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London on May 26, 1966. Cat Power performed the same setlist, song for song, at the same venue in November 2022, then released a live album from the show the following year. This multi-city tour followed a few months later. Joining her onstage were Henry Munson (lead guitar), Aaron Embry (piano / harmonica), Erik Paparozzi (bass), Adeline Jasso (guitar), Jordan Summers (organ / wurlitzer), and Josh Adams (drums).

Cat Power Sings Dylan:
The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert
Official Show Announcement:

Last November in London, Cat Power took the stage at Royal Albert Hall and delivered a song-for-song recreation of one of the most fabled and transformative live sets of all time. Held at the Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1966—but long known as the “Royal Albert Hall Concert” due to a mislabeled bootleg—the original performance saw Bob Dylan switching from acoustic to electric midway through the show, drawing ire from an audience of folk purists and forever altering the course of rock & roll. In her own rendition of that historic night, the artist otherwise known as Chan Marshall inhabited each song with equal parts conviction and grace and a palpable sense of protectiveness, ultimately transposing the anarchic tension of Dylan’s set with a warm and luminous joy. Now captured on the live album Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert, Marshall’s spellbinding performance both lovingly honors her hero’s imprint on history and brings a stunning new vitality to many of his most revered songs.

A singularly gifted song interpreter whose catalog includes three acclaimed covers albums, Marshall holds an especially strong affinity for the songwriter-poet. “More than the work of any other songwriter, Dylan’s songs have spoken to me, and inspired me since i first began hearing them at 5 years old,” said Marshall. Like the original concert (and all of Dylan’s 1966 world tour), Marshall kept the first half of her set entirely acoustic, then went electric for the second half with the help of a full band: guitarist Arsun Sorrenti, bassist Erik Paparozzi, multi-instrumentalists Aaron Embry (harmonica, piano) and Jordan Summers (organ, Wurlitzer), and drummer Josh Adams. “I knew that when representing a performance that changed the rock-and-roll landscape forever, I needed to be very serious about it,” she says. “Although serious feels like a small word for how deeply immersed I felt.”

As revealed on Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert, Marshall approached every song in the setlist with both heartfelt reverence and a deep understanding of the delicate nature of song interpretation. “When someone covers a song you love, there’s the potential for them to give you something you can keep with you forever because of their way of performing it, their voice, the way they tap out or hum a particular line,” says Marshall. “A song changes when someone else sings it, whether they’re trying to stay faithful to the original version or not.” And while Marshall admits to a nervous anticipation prior to the show, a certain sense of devotion helped to carry her through the night. “I had and still have such respect for the man who crafted so many songs that helped develop conscious thinking in millions of people, helped shape the way they see the world,” says Marshall. “So even though my hands were shaking so much I had to keep them in my pockets, I felt real dignity for myself. It felt like a real honor for me to stand there.”
