Neko Case & Calexico @ Beacon Theatre, NYC – pics & setlist

The set was awesome: she played songs from every single one of her albums and each song was accompanied by a group of images or cartoons visuals projected onto a screen behind her.She also joked about the wattage of the amplifier and her microphone-alluding to her getting shocked by it at her New Jersey show the previous night.
But we come back to her voice. She truly is one of the best singers out there today. She makes singing seems so effortless and simple but the clarity, power, and purity of her voice is worthy of awe. She blew off the roof of Beacon Theatre and all I could say at times was simple: Wow. [TheNinthDragonKing]
Neko Case played six more songs at the Beacon than she did the night before at Wellmont where she was reportedly playing in fear of being shocked for a third time by improperly grounded equipment. More pictures and the setlist from the NYC show below…
