crap, Chan Marshall has really grown up and learned to perform live. When I saw her at Shepherds Bush in 2002 or 3 she babbled about Xanax for most of the show. I don't think she finished more than 2 songs.

you lucky bastard - even if it was for only two songs!. She suffered very badly with stage fright, so she used to get absolutely smashed and go perform but has since quit the booze

Definitely a unique show - wasn't the best of gigs. Afterwards I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to accept her as a troubled genius, or whether there is actually some kind of 'duty of performance' at every show you go to. You Are Free is still one of my favourite albums ever.

Great album - good memories. First job I ever had was a waitering gig at the Waterfront just after it opened in the early '90s. Every night straight after the last table left the head waiter would hit play on this album while we cleaned up and shut up shop. It never sounded tired. This is the last track and I don't think we ever got this far into it. But I met my first live-in girlfriend there and she had the tape at home and we revisited it over the next couple of years.
