QOTSA It's hard to find anyone playing music on this sonic level who can hold it in the road for an entire show, much less reach the plateaus that were heard from time to time that evening. If every song in this concert were played as well as the best ones were, this show would have been heavenly. It would have been TOO good, and those in attendance would have been affected in a way that they may have never gotten over….

Neko Case has possibly the most distinctive sounding voice in contemporary American pop, rock, country, girl power today….
The vocal quality of this performance was probably the best I’ve seen in a concert performance in recent memory and she’s looking like a rock n roller’s dream girl on stage with her white Gibson SG. “The Tigers Have Spoken” by Neko Case is one of the stellar live recordings of the year.

At this point in history it's imperative that any band that has a CD out pick at least a couple of songs for release to be played to the public for free. For each new CD that's released the artists/producers/labels should select one or two songs which they consider to be their most accessable “Radio” songs. Once selected these songs should be made available to every conceivable broadcast outlet on the planet, including radio stations and internet web cast sites.
