Meanwhile, in the Woodland Park Zoo, Neko Case made them… uh, soaked within an inch of pneumonia. After announcing her cover of “Buckets of Rain,” Case promised the song was going to have the opposite effect on the skies. Well, at a country show, promises are almost guaranteed to get broken. It poured and poured and poured. More than three-quarters of the crowd fled, allowing those wet and hardy souls remaining to creep forward until we had ourselves an intimate little concert. In the mud. Awesome.
