Unearthed from the 2010 Meltdown's Kate McGarrigle Celebration tapes comes this rare fusion of rehearsal and performance. It's jagged and intimate and shamelessly emotive rendering that I feel captures the complex moment where Kate's family and friends via commemorating her artistic and human gifts shared their love and found solace. It's culled from a rediscovered one-camera rough cut that I shot and edited in 2010 and thought was lost. Until tonight...
