^ The entire album comes out November 10, right? Before then you might wanna give
The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Live 1966 - The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert a spin, considering Cat Power's LP is supposed to cover that show rather than the studio versions. The second half (full band set) is one of the most apocalyptic rock performances ever recorded - Robertson sounds like he's slashing zombies, while drummer Mickey Jones (Levon Helm had quit because he couldn't take the audience's hostility anymore), I dunno WHAT this guy was on (he later founded The fuckin' First Edition!), but during that tour his shit was proto-punker badassery. There's room for the majestic as well: listen to Danko's backing vocals on "One Too Many Mornings"... Even if you don't dig it (which would indicate psychiatric trauma or neurological damage), you'll be fully "prepared" for Marshall's record.
