Halfmoon Gig,cork

[HALFMOON]

Dear Cat..can we have our money back?...sorry dear that was the biggest load of bollocks i have ever seen in 20 years of gigging....the sad thing is you probably have some hidden talent somewhere but my dear YOU ARE NO JANIS JOPLIN.....

Come back n entertain us,


Meoooow

If you went there to look for entertainment, you must be some dumb dickhead who jerks off to Cat's music.

[MrTambourineMan]

And by the way; Dear Cat? Uhm, Cat? Who is Cat? Cat, Power? Who the fuck are you, paul shafer?

[marc]

go on guys, you know what he means. cat is cat and we can call her cat among friends right? so how about getting a life? this forum is the best place to bitch about cat's horrendous performances (when they are horrendous) so stop playing the older brother who always has to defend the family's honour or whatever you think you are doing...

[antistar]

Too much (unorriginal) bitching makes me wonder how many people who post here really know what her music is about.


*the younger sister*

[gerglegergle]

what exactly is her music about anyway?

btw, if you have a definitive opinion on the question, you don't know what you're talking about.

[antistar]

You ask me what exactly is her music about and then you say there is no definite answer. Seems like you're the one with the messed up thoughts.

I can't describe you exactly what i feel, can I?

[gerglegergle]

Nevermind.

Oh well, from what I've been reading on this board is seems to me that the Catpower Euro Tour '03 is quickly becoming a train wreck. The fact that all of you fans are so willing to let her shit all over you is laughable. The truth of the matter is that lousy shows suck ass, no matter who it is. That said, bands and singers have been doing this type of thing since it all began, so we have no recourse but to bitch about it, hope for another chance and enjoy the records.

I thought it was one of the most amazing gigs I've ever been to, more like an experience than a performance. I not gonna argue with anyone who says otherwise but then I briefly met Chan and talking to two young teenagers (and their dog) that she met on the street and brought to the gig so I was clued into much of the head scratching. It was like Lou Reed's TAKE NO PRISONERS album, the difference being Lou talked in between and during songs, Chan played a few songs in between talking.

Oh, apparently Chan is playing with a band on this tour except in Ireland and Portugal to answer that question.

[Futureman]

Eurosquares. Who needs 'em?

[T BONE]

Well i'm guessing chan needs em, otherwise she would'nt be coming over here taking our money.How do you think she pays for all that booze!

Yeah went to the Cat Power gig,didn't have/still don't any of her records,just heard she was good so went along. Never have i been to such a thing as it. You couldn't really say it was a gig as ........actually there was no word for it.#

I'm all for individuality,believe me,and she surely was that but........god i don't know,what the hell was that thing.

It was my first gig on my own and it put me off,i was so bloody uncomfortable with the whole situation. I came to hear her music,if she's an entertainer,as she perhaps likes to think of herself as then someone should have pointed that out prior to anyone going. Her music(the whole 6/7 songs that she actually played) was beautiful,i really loved her voice but god,i'd never go again to see her.

I don't care about the money spending but the time wasting wasn't fair. It's pathetic that she thinks she can charge people for what she offered at the halfmoon gig.What an ego she must have to think that anyone would want to listen to that amount of blabbering on.

At first it was amusing and refreshing to see a different approach to a gig but an hour in,i wanted to run out,staying only for the hope that she might get on with it towards the end.God help anyone else that has to put up with her and not be aware of her preformance records.

I'm not a cynical person and i never generally complain about gigs but her........i only looked up this thing to see if i had gone truely mad or really was it as bad/mental as i thought it was.
