Neko Case - Nokia night two pics & Letterman video
photos by Jacob Blickenstaff
"It seems like every time I go on tour and I'm in a hotel room and turn the channel, there's some sort of animal-disaster show on, or somebody's just been mauled by a tiger in a zoo, and everyone's always so shocked," Case explains. "And I'm like, 'It's a fucking tiger! You got it in a cage and you were poking it with something, and it killed you! What the fuck do you want it to do?'Neko Case completed her three-day run in NYC with an appearance on Letterman last night (4/15). Night one was a full show at Nokia Theater with Crooked Fingers. Night two (4/14) was at the same venue with Joan as Policewoman opening. Neko's setlist was almost exactly the same as the night before. Pictures from that show, and the Letterman video, below...."Zoos are a bad deal: elephants are meant to walk 70 miles a day, otherwise their feet go bad and they go insane and die. Killer whales need to swim 200 miles a day -- why would it be happy in that little ice box?" [Neko Case to Eye Weekly]

A nice lady, with a big voice, but I'm mystified, what is the bfd about her?

She sounded unbelievably amazing Tues night. Nokia Theatre, however, is probably the worst venue I've ever been to.

"She sounded unbelievably amazing Tues night. Nokia Theatre, however, is probably the worst venue I've ever been to."
Really? Aside from the horrible experience of navigating Times Sq, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was, and the sound was terrific.

What are talking about, 10:40? She looks all around fabulous; better than ever.
Indie rockers, smelly and unkempt is not a "look".

She does look great. Just don't like the outfit

The sound at Nokia is sterile as all get out. It's like listening to glass. Granted, I'll take it over a place with outright bad sound (Terminal 5, for instance) any day of the week...but you'd have to have a pretty low threshold for your definition of "terrific" in order to apply it to Nokia.

I don't think any of the women in the pics above would be very flattered by the up-nose-perspective of these shots.

12:35 why is there always a d-bag complaining about the photos? These are better than anything I've seen in recent coverage.

The Little House on the Prairie Museum called, they want the dress back.

The encore also included "Star Witness". Maybe second or third song. And it was just lovely.
The Nokia Theater's no gem, but the sound was tolerable. Neko's voice was at the forefront, of course, and everything else had to fight its way to be heard.
