Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert
The great CAT POWER is coming to Port Fairy Folk Festival, performing Bob Dylan’s lifechanging set in Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert.
Almost 59 years to the day, Bob Dylan’s most memorable moment in music history will be celebrated when the great Cat Power performs Dylan’s fabled and transformative 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert set.
Dylan’s powerful concert, seen in the capital cities of Australia in April 1966 and then a month later at the Manchester Free Trade Hall was THAT performance which saw Bob Dylan switch from acoustic to electric midway through the show, drawing passionate fury from an audience of folk purists and forever altering the course of rock ‘n’ roll.
In Cat Power’s own rendition of that historic event, the artist otherwise known as Chan Marshall has inhabited each song with equal parts conviction and grace and a palpable sense of protectiveness.
Experience the iconically classic songs such as It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue, Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues, Mr. Tambourine Man, Just Like A Woman and more, performed by Cat Power and her band on the Port Fairy Folk Festival stage.
This spellbinding performance honouring Cat Power’s hero will mark another historic moment, returning, reliving and reforming a pivotal moment in music history.
