Notes:
* Norah’s current biography states that she got this gig—a reception for an art show at this Mercedes Benz
dealership—and called up Adam, adding “How could he say no?”
* Adam went into more detail in Rolling
Stone’s 2004 piece on Norah: "The first time we played together,
we hadn't rehearsed. It was just me and her in this art gallery inside a big
Mercedes dealership, near the Lincoln Tunnel. People are dipping celery sticks
into spinach dip and sipping champagne out of plastic cups, generally ignoring
us, and I'm standing there playing guitar behind Norah and going, 'Whoa.
Something really different is going on here.' Those were three blissful hours
for me. That gig was some of the best ignored music I've ever made."
* In a 2003 interview with SF Gate, Adam revealed that he and Norah were paid $50
for this gig.
