Patti was an unseen force in the seventies. Not even punk. There was punk but she was a romantic of theatre and rock. A poet and almost Morrison style. Her tempos changed with her back up band. Lots of furious Gibsons rhythm and crescendos. Lots of playful rock. She was a rocker in the sense that it blindly took her to heights of rock ecstasy. kind of a hero in my books when there was lots of mainstream AOR FM playing Eagles, Jackson Brown, etc. and new founds like Foreigner and Cars. Even in her movements of music you can tell she committed to her art long ago. She was no dancer, not pretty, not the best voice, but she damn had the heart to break out and make a people knew there was something out there that she and we liked. my peace. bless all during this pandemic.

Coolest performance by any singer ever, let alone female. This is what I left home for.

In 1975 I was 19, and Rolling Stone was still a good rock magazine. I read the review of this album, bought it, loved it, played it for my best friend. We saw Patti at the Roxy in Hollywood later that year, and our love for her genius was born.

Powerful performance from one of music's true poets. She remains simply awesome to this day.

If Patti Smith were to come out today, 2011; the media, audiences, everyone, would call her ugly, strange, and completely reject her. She's a woman that doesn't look or sound like an American Idol winner. So she would completely go unnoticed.

That is Rockpalast, jerks, which is hall of fame for any rock singer or rock group. She was the first American rock- singer to get there. Rockpalast in Europe meant a lot more than Superbowl!

Her first 3 albums were classics - listened to them over & over & over!!!!!!!!!! She was in a league by herself - pre punk - she rocked!!!!!!! Saw her in a college gym in Glassboro, New Jersey, where we stood right with her - feet away!!!!!!!!

America begins with voices not bought in boardrooms.

Tricia is so mellow spoken in person when talking. But on the printed page, the lighted stage, on the wind she is FEROCIOUS!! Growl. Ferocious poetry without piety.

I absolutely love how the musicians are taking cues from her and adjusting their playing accordingly, like when the guitar player bends down to see what Patti's doing near the end. That's amazing to see in any live performance, especially one for a song as musically complex as this one.

I saw the Patti Smith group in the 70s. Un-fucking believably great concert. Bad ass band. Lenny Kaye on guitar...awesome. Jay Dee Daugherty, one of my favorite drummers, doesn't get the credit he deserves. And of course Patti. People have the power. I was expecting a good show, but it was one of the most high energy shows I've ever seen.

Greatest cover of the greatest rock n roll song ever written!

This performance really pushes forward the impression that she is like Jim Morrison. Great to watch as much as he was

This is rock'n roll.

A windscreen wiper (Commonwealth English) or windshield wiper (American English) is a device used to remove rain, snow, ice, washer fluid, water, or debris from a vehicle's front window. Almost all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, train locomotives, and watercraft with a cabin-and some aircraft-are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement. A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots, and the other end has a long rubber blade attached to it. The arm is powered by a motor, often an electric motor, although pneumatic power is also used for some vehicles. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water, other precipitation, or any other impediments to visibility from its surface. The speed is usually adjustable on vehicles made after 1969, with several continuous rates and often one or more intermittent settings. Most personal automobiles use two synchronized radial-type arms, while many commercial vehicles use one or more pantograph arms.

Well said review!!!

I loved seeing her in concert in 1985 on the NE side of Chicago! We left slowly, still in awe, and since most of the crowd was gone, she yelled out of the 2nd story window if anybody wanted to party! My ex & I sure wanted to but Randy was driving so we had to go.

Went to see her in Scarborough UK 7 years ago. She was absolutely amazing. Never seen anything like it before or since, real talent just shines through 😜

O to have such passion for something. Powerful.

can't decide whether she's more beautiful on the inside or on the outside... but she surely is both !!!!

Love how she exits the stage leaving the microphone on the floor... Just plain cool... She works herself and anyone watching into a hypnotic groove that's just pure longing fist pumpin gyration - that's how it feels... You wanna shout , 'Say it honey!' G-L-O-R-I-A... !

Refreshing to see a good audience absolutely loving a television performance- that was awesome!!

Absolutely stunning performance. Love Patti!!
