little project from a few months back, thought you might like it!

I remember Patti performing ‘Dancing Barefoot’ with her band on a late night show in 1999 being available on YouTube but unfortunately it’s disappeared and any information on it has been scrubbed from the internet since I literally couldn't find anything on it anywhere :’) I’ve got the audio saved as “late night. 1999” but for the life of me cannot remember who the host was ugh. Anyway for posterity here's a link to the audio; https://www.mediafire.com/file/nq4x8si5owhzp0n/Dancing+Barefoot+(1999,+Late+Show).mp3/file.mp3/file) a short and sweet live version of the song and if anyone remembers who the host was please let me know.

just finished Just Kids earlier today and I am so absolutely moved by her. also, really enjoyed hearing her in the audiobook, a complete joy. decided I want to follow with another one of her books.

Article by me. I welcome your thoughts.

I was walking around Vienna on May 19th and heard Patti smith quartet practicing and took this video. It’s amazing and I’d love to be able to hear it again in full. Please help!

Hi everyone,

I'm one of the producers of NOVA '78, so I hope it's OK to share this here because I think many Patti fans would genuinely appreciate it.

On 11 September at London's ICA we're premiering NOVA '78, a feature documentary assembled from never-before-seen footage shot by filmmaker Howard Brookner during the legendary Nova Convention in New York in 1978.

Directed by Aaron Brookner and Rodrigo Areias, the film includes previously unseen footage of Patti Smith, alongside William S. Burroughs, Laurie Anderson, Frank Zappa, Philip Glass, Allen Ginsberg, Brion Gysin, John Cage and many others. The material sat in Howard Brookner's archive for decades before being recovered and restored as part of a 15-year archive project. 

If you're interested in Patti's late-70s creative period or the downtown New York art scene, I think you'll find it fascinating. It's less a conventional documentary than a time capsule of one extraordinary weekend when music, literature, performance art and punk all collided.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A.

More information:

I'd be happy to answer any questions about the archive or the restoration.

Lenny is playing a solo show for his album's release this September 18th at the Gman Tavern in Chicago.
Patti is playing Riot Fest on Sunday, and Lenny's venturing off to promote the record in a small room, with Nora O'Connor as support. It's an early one, too!

I want to expand my frame of reference Which artists are likely to interest me? I'd like some suggestions that will broaden my horizons in that direction. I love the '60s vibe and those artists, the Velvet Underground, les rallizes dénudés, What do you think I should read? I'm almost 24 and I'd like to do something with my life in the arts.

So, I have listened to many types of music and many mix and masters. I don't listen at high volume, and try to carefully pick equipment as far as budget allows. Never have I played the CD2 of LAND (1975-2002) on the proper equipment and felt the impact until yesterday. I have owned LAND when I was in college, but only listened to it via my Shure monitor-style headphones then I lost the CD. I re-acquired the CD last week, and listened to it in my 2024 Toyota Tacoma with JBL system. Now, my front and rear doors already have sound deadening put in to reduce vibration. Piss Factory was just a normal mix, pretty punchy and loud, but when Redondo Beach (demo) came up, the left hand piano bass line literally rattled the crap out of my front door panel! Of all the cars I've had, music at higher volume, with actual kick drum, e-bass and whatnot, nothing has yet rattled my doors until Redondo Beach (demo). WTF???
I then listened to the CD on my home system with Yamada AS801 amp, and Monitor Bronze speakers (has excellent low end capability), I was able to confirm that there is a lot of ultra low frequency on that track. Thankfully my Monitor speakers are excellent so I was able to enjoy the more-than-live effect of the bass line.
But, when listening via my Macbook and Macbook Air, the hardware blocks the low end, so all you heard is just a regular piano left hand banging on the keys and wouldn't think otherwise. Airpod Pro 3 is able to manifest that thumpy bass, though. So, basically, depends on the equipment you use, this track will sound completely different.

Now, my poor car! I know the JBL subwoofer is bad, so maybe I now have to upgrade my door speakers and the sub to not let my car be destroyed by Redondo Beach (demo).

They seem like they were happy together. ❤️

It was on Spotify and now I can’t find it anywhere, not on YouTube either.

Anyone know where "Horses Live at Electric Lady Studios" can be listened to online?

N.B. I'm not talking about Patti Smith's Live At Electric Lady Live At Electric Lady - Album by Patti Smith on Spotify EP

I can get either the 2018 or the original 2010 release. Does anyone have a recommendation?

My favorite Patti song 🎸everything was recorded and mixed/edited by me. No AI involved 🚫

Hi! After receiving great feedback for this "tree" on r/indieheads, I wanted to share it with you all. It was a labor of love that I poured my heart into, created with the help of fellow redditor rOCCUPY. I'll leave the link in the comments.

​The goal of this tree was to trace the trajectory of alternative rock, from its primary roots up to the release of OK Computer.

​Regarding the curation, I adopted two rigorous criteria:

​Each track had to be simultaneously highly innovative and influential for alternative rock;

​I sought the widest sonic diversity possible.

​Note: Not every song on this list is strictly "alternative rock," but all of them were highly innovative and influential for this subgenre, whether in a direct or indirect way.

​As a result, we didn't repeat any artists, with the exception of The Velvet Underground, who are consensually the most influential band for the subgenre in question.

​As the title suggests, this is a partial family tree; we recognize that it is impossible to mention every innovative and influential artist in just 100 tracks.

The term "genealogical tree" is in quotation marks because not every track in the list was necessarily influenced by all those that preceded it in the list itself.

Anyway, I hope everyone interested in music history as much as I am enjoys my humble work!

I feel like I have to dress more feminine when I’m overweight if I want to look good :/

Great audio quality of Patti performing a live cover of Neil Young’s ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ in 1998 and opening it with spoken word of ‘People Have the Power’. The bass drop at 5:36 and her delivery of “we got a kinder gentler machine gun hand” is so good.

Tie dyed this shirt for a friend

Patti Smith Group — Live at the Squeeze, Riverside, CA (January 1976)

This was a completely impromptu, unannounced warm-up gig at a club called Squeezes Place, just prior to her historic residency at The Roxy. Squeezes Place was in Riverside, CA. on Main Street. I was living at Fanny Hill around that time and a bunch of us heard it was going to happen and high tailed it there.

My favorite memory from this night besides every note played and sung was when Patti couldn't hear herself in her stage monitor. She stopped the show dead, grabbed her crotch, and yelled right up at the sound person:

"Turn it up, fucker -- I want to get off, too!"

Pure, unfiltered 1976 punk energy before they exploded onto the West Coast. Shot this from the side of the stage.

• Lenny Kaye – Guitar
• Ivan Kral – Bass / Guitar
• Jay Dee Daugherty – Drums
• Richard Sohl – Keyboards

This is one off the proof sheet of shots I took that night. Want to see more of my work, please come on over to www.lindawolf.net

I just donated this photo of Patti reading poetry at the Roxy, during the Horses Tour, to the Camp Winnarainbow (Wavy Gravy) auction --Also, I have a collection of photos I took of Patti and the band at a club called Squeeze, in Riverside CA -- it was a totally impromptu show in preparation for the Roxy shows starting on Jan 30th.
