Neko Case - "Red Tide" (Live on Jimmy Fallon)

HANK ALTOGETHER:

I saw Neko play a pretty disastrous show in Montclair, NJ two days before she performed this gorgeous rendition of "Red Tide" on Jimmy Fallon. At the Montclair show, the songstress got electrocuted not once but twice while the tech crew seemed to twiddle their thumbs. Putting on her sweater, Neko was rebuked by an idiot in the audience who yelled "GO!"

"I'm just putting on my fucking sweater," she responded. "You get a rock band. Then you can fucking go." We all applauded, but something was all wrong. Case turned to the band and seemed to be pushing them to hurry up. After "This Tornado Loves You," they all left the stage rather hurriedly and didn't come out for an encore.

I blame it all on Jersey.
