She is still the greatest of them all. No-one else comes close to her: her lyricism, her energy, her intensity, her performing skills, her creativity, her sense of inspiration, her almost shamanistic contact with whatever it is that drives her, her unchaningness, and, below all that, her personality, her humility, her writing skills, her insight, her defiance of age, her quite unusual musical sense, her adaptibility in both life and music, her transmission of feeling and some other dimension, her unsurpassed connection with her audiences, her mixture of femininity and a certain masculine assertiveness - not one other singer in popular music has all those qualities.

Well said. And at almost 70 she don't sell nostalgia. She's still the "Horses" Patti Smith, here and now. No fake, no vapid routines. All those old rock bands that play at summer festivals may watch her and meditate.

Nice. But 1 thing- is it defiance of her age? Or embracing? She could not have been what she is now any earlier, not in the same way anyway.

1000% agree....my favorite concert ever!

Just amazing. Takes me right back to my youth. I am 68 now. We need all the power of poets and poetry more than ever.

I saw her do this in New York in the early 70's 80's it was like a volcano

A talent like this is metaphysical; a supernatural energy.

I don't much about Patty Smith all I know is that that is this song makes me want to cry

I was having a pretty shitty day, then I put on Horses and it improved. Then I watched this and now I'm ready to conquer the world!

She is 1,000 years old and gave a performance like this? I was mistaken. She is incredible. She is timeless in lyrics and music.

Es verdad... no hay tiempos...solo su esencia infinita 🌱☘️🍃🌿

This is what I call Rock and Roll!

I saw Patti Smith perform Horses straight through for the 40th anniversary. It was at the Wiltern in Los Angeles in early 2016 and Apple TV filmed it. It was the most transportive concert I’ve ever attended. I feel like I joined the Church of Patti Smith that night.

THE Misstress of the Ceremony for SURE! Absolutely fantastic! Love it! I have been listening to HER from the 70's.

Nobody does it like Patti..I always liked her but after reading her book JUST KIDS I have mad respect for her journey...

The boy was in the hallway...that's all we needed

You know that vocalist is really great when the bassist cannot stop staring at him even while play.

what a voice she has, how charismatic she is... the Spirit of the seventies : the best decade the World has known so far

Saw her in 1976 and she is still as amazing, as strong, as sexual, as powerful.

I'm listening to this at 1AM... And so does my neighbors.

This girl at any age has been spectacular. Now even more so at 70. RAW, Savage Rock n roll. No lip syncing,no pre Fab dance routine. No holding back on the vocals who else can say their performance didn't come out of a can?

She's ALWAYS like this.

See her in the 70' in his first gig in vienna. Raw energy rock! But this is a higher level..like a prophet of another dimension!

I hope I have Patti’s energy and vitality when I reach nearly 70 years. She’s such an exceptional artist.

EXACTLY.......VOTRE TEMOIGNANGE est D'UNE JUSTESSE REMARQUABLE.....il n'y a rien à AJOUTER, MERCI d'avoir EXPRIMER DE MANIERE ELOQUENTE & PROFONDE CE QUE JE RESSENS également......

She is my spirit animal, fairy godmother, natural woman, and champion. She is the word amazing personified!

I saw her in 1978 in Brussel. Amazing concert, but.....after the concert, when the audience was outside the area, she's came back and play 30 minutes extra for 100 people...Unbelievable !

A treasure, an original, an artist, a work of art, a force of nature and a badass. Love you Patti.

Just so fucken amazing still today!!!

I'm not quite sure how to express how much I love Patti. She may be the most inspirational person in my life

Great Patti, huge, magnificent. I love her

pure distilled 100% rock n roll

Living FKN legend woman you are everything

This is the best live performance I’ve ever seen. The fact she can still embody this type of raw energy is amazing

Ce qu'offre cette femme est beau à en pleurer.

This is what rock is about.........

Just Patti Smith. One and only. Millenium is not enough....

I am so excited to see her this August in Portland

One of the best interpretations of this binomial 'Horses/Gloria' that they always play. At least the starter is powerful and cool, all Patti Smith!!

Holy cow. This is one of the greatest of her performances. So much power. Astonishing. This kind of presence is what we all strive for, who perform.

Simply the best!!

My two favourite songs from Patti Smith together!! Awesome live performance!!!

the matriarch of rock n roll for decades to come.no one compares to the patti smith group.

Nothing but legendary queen👏👏👏

I saw her twice in France she is one of the best

I LOVE that around 6:30, she tried to start the verse but the crowd was too loud. So she communicated with them. Smiled, acknowledged, then asked with her hands to give her some sound space, and everyone understood. Beautiful.

WOW!😮Amazing!

ROCK ON PATTI WE LOVE YOU.

Fantastic song, fantastic performance. Patti is truly an ARTIST.

I agree with the person that said it was one of the best performances they had ever seen. that's what I thought when I was watching it. what energy!

the best in the world ! and always so natural so poetic so mystic A great Artist, it's rare !Thank you You and Nina you are my two loves

70 years old ! Best live performance ever IMO. Watched this a thousand times….what a crowd !

When you're free you're timeless 😉

I'm just now finishing Just Kids. I have so much respect for the commitment to her art/writing . Turns out she's in town tomorrow night. I think I gotta go . And while I'm reading this my husband spies Michale Stippe in a rock doc with Patti and discussing his admiration for her art. I am SO late to this party.
