23rd October 2023
Renowned singer-songwriter Cat Power has announced a Valentine’s Day performance at America’s premiere concert hall, Carnegie Hall. Tickets go on sale this Friday, October 27 at 11 AM ET. The show is a 15-song recreation of Dylan’s 1966 acoustic and electric performance at Royal Albert Hall and is a companion to her album, Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert, out November 10. Set to take place on February 14, 2024, the Carnegie Hall show follows performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House. Dylan himself hasn’t headlined the venue performing this material since 1965.
To help celebrate the Carnegie Hall performance Cat Power is releasing two more songs from the soon-to-be-released album. Her distinct and evocative takes on “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “Like A Rolling Stone” are available for streaming everywhere now.
Recorded November 5, 2022 at London’s vaunted Royal Albert Hall, Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert sees Marshall paying tribute to Bob Dylan with a complete live reimagining of his legendary performance at the Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1966. Long known as the “Royal Albert Hall Concert” due to a mislabeled bootleg, the original performance saw Dylan switching from acoustic to electric midway through the show, drawing the ire of folk purists and forever altering the course of rock ‘n’ roll. Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert both lovingly honors Dylan’s imprint on history and brings a stunning new vitality to many of his most revered songs, including the recently released “She Belongs to Me” and “Ballad of a Thin Man,” both available everywhere now.

In November 2022, Cat Power took the stage at London’s 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-and-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.
