I didn't know Neko Case had her turn on Letterman. Here is the evidence. I generally don't like these small stage late-night tv performances. The environment is always too sterile to get any live energy while still allowing the fragile live performance.
Neko is super-human though and -I am convinced- has never actually made a mistake. This performance comes off well enough. I don't think they mixed the backup vocals enough and there was that looming lack of live energy.
I had the pleasure of seeing Neko case on Friday night at the The Music Box better known as the Henry Fonda Theater (Does anyone know why they changed the name?). Narry a sour note, I was utterly impressed with the capability of everyone on stage. Neko Case, herself, performed to what I can only percieve as complete perfection while those backing her up performed their individual magic. The slide player, in particular, performed with the subtlety and musical conscience of a master.
I've been to quite a few shows... and I've really just never seen one come off this well. I forgot how bad my feet hurt until the lull before the encore. That is impressive.
