I had an epiphany this morning: On the exact day of this show, January 14, 1995, a Saturday, I went out with some "hippie" friends of mine (there was a black guy was punk too) to drink wine in a square closer to my mother's house in Sao Paulo, Brazil ... one of them played the guitar for us ... Late that night I wrote in my diary which went my first poetry book: "...Tragedy has a life of its own! And let the smell of night penetrate the nostrils of these bohemian seers, and bring them more and more to the edge of the expensive intelligence that comprehends everyone".

Track 1 is a cover of "Dear Brother" by Hank Williams Sr., released in 1950. Chan's tendency is to rework her covers until they are an unrecognizable trickle of beautiful weirdness, and this is in full effect on "Dear Brother".
amazing that this whole show is up. priceless footage. i've been seeing her since 1995 and was blown away countless nights ( even when she walked after 5 songs ). that was before i saw her at hammerstein ballroom last night. for the last time. thanks but i will keep chan the way i remember her instead.
Sometime around 98, I booked a show in Baltimore for Two Dollar Guitar and took Tim & Steve out for dinner. So many intense stories from this era. There is no before anymore.
Mike Keyes It's just a Dottie's crowd in the '90s. People were more worried about hanging out and catching a buzz. Plus, Chan played there a lot, so the Atlanta scene might have taken her for granted. Of all the shows and performers I saw in Atlanta through the '90s and '00s, the only one who was able to keep the crowd quiet was Elliott Smith. Just him and his acoustic guitar, in a bar full of drinkers, and you could hear a pin drop. Even the usual noise of glass bottles going into trash cans, instead the crowd would lightly place them into the trash, just to be considerate. I always thought that was funny..
'but her label said "we don't want that"' Kinda says it all there. I can understand changing your style in the progression of time, but just because the label dictates that it is not what they want doesn't mean an old time fan can't appreciate what Chan was before her break down, and what she is now.
It truly is two separate artists too me, as in two totally different styles. I'm not trying to discredit her recent album or songs, however if she is being 'forced' into a certain style, perhaps she should consider a new label, if that's not solely her intentions.
I remember this! I was bartending. Chan used to work the door. Crazy times in the ATL….Such an Amazing artist!!!!
I love early Cat Power! (I love all Chan's work, to be fair) But this is truly astonishing footage. Thanks #vacantmoon for this...

the sleepwalker is the best song ever no one can tell me otherwise
Soooo good. I wish someone could work on boosting the sound of the vocal.
Makes me wonder why some of those people are so insensitive to be jabbering incessantly while others are trying to hear the music.

Dotties was a tiny bar inside a mobile home. People went there to hang out.
i want to hug her

Agreed. This is so much better than her later stuff.
what's the song at minute 21:00 ?
whats the first song?
a cover of "dear brother" by Hank williams
Ben Vanden Heuvel I believe it is called "Wealthy Man"
