That was clear. By that point, Willner and Chloe Webb had already read "Howl," earning the only standing ovation of the night for their dazzling performance, one that saw the seminal work accompanied by a video that transported the audience to s San Francisco and a rising musical arrangement that perfectly synched with the building drama in their reading.

That should've ended the night, but those who managed to make it all the way to the end -- Macy Graythe last new performer of the night, called all those who did stay "troupers" -- were rewarded with a jaw-dropping gorgeous finale of Cave and Beth Orton performing "The Ship Song" together.
