Sounds like you were rewarded aplenty! We had the great fortune of seeing her at the Rock and Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert in New York a couple of days before a Van concert in 2009. Many renowned stars performed, including Lou Reed, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Jeff Beck, however Patti's performances were the highlight! For us.

Pretty much sums it up.
(I sold ...Cool review Pat! <br />Pretty much sums it up.<br />(I sold Pat his ticket on ebay as my mate couldn't make it but I still went on my own. To Bath on the train with bike and camping kit, stayed at Newton Mill campsite which was real nice, the weather was hot and sunny all that day. Got a taxi in and out of the gig as I have health conditions and not strong enough do it all, standing for 2 hours dripping in sweat at the gig was extremely hard work for me, but so worth it, even though it took me three days of rest to recover! <br />I first saw Patti in 2004 in Brum on her 'Trampin' tour - a totally spine tingling two hours that was!<br />At Bath though, 'BENEATH THE SOUTHERN CROSS' was indeed the most amazing live performance BY ANY BAND that I have ever seen, anywhere, anytime - a truly transcendental experience, it just kept moving up a gear, then another, then yet another, like someone turning up the 'intensity' rather than the 'volume' absolutely stunning!<br />Patti Smith & her band remains one of the best rock acts ever to play planet earth!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644869986802501174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011863.post-2779527180469655572012-07-01T13:58:33.086-07:002012-07-01T13:58:33.086-07:00Mary,

My greater joy came earlier as we were in the lamb and lion and saw Patti come in , I was overjoyed. Not so over joyed when the waitress came and told us our scampi and vegatarian lasagna had been given to somebody else. We were given their meals as a replacemen ;piri piri chicken and steak and ale pie. You cannot even begin to imagine my utter joy on hearing Patti and her friend had eaten our meals what a thrill we were so pleased.Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011863.post-57963513589304664122012-06-30T06:21:45.801-07:002012-06-30T06:21:45.801-07:00Sublime article Pat.

What can you say about her live, in Wolverhampton she had grown men weeping, and shamed quarrelling women ! Listen to her, read her, but most importantly SEE her while you can, she wont play live forever !Marcusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011863.post-39588302785437392722012-06-29T15:16:23.204-07:002012-06-29T15:16:23.204-07:00Thanks for your comment Nic.It was a great concert...Thanks for your comment Nic.It was a great concert and i hope you enjoy tomorrows gig as well.<br /><br />Cheers, Pat.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09117192766330939568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011863.post-85982434223195335982012-06-29T08:14:48.790-07:002012-06-29T08:14:48.790-07:00Truly excellent gig in a nice friendly venue.

'Lenny Kaye did a song' was a bit harsh - when he introduced his turn with 'this is a nugget, for those who dug it', he was refencing his compilation of 60s garage hits that he'd put together in '73. Including No Time Like the Right Time, and Pushin' Too Hard, which were what he was playing.<br /><br />Good gig though; very clear sound -saw Buzzcocks with Howard Devoto the other week in Manchester, the sound just about wrecked that :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011863.post-51466871159201091642012-06-29T04:28:25.820-07:002012-06-29T04:28:25.820-07:00I was there last night and it was the first time I...I was there last night and it was the first time I have seen Patti live despite being a long time fan. She did not disappoint. It was a transcendental experience that will live me for a long time. She's almost 30 years older than me, but God she's a sexy woman. She's an inspiration and I can't wait to see her again at Hop Farm on Saturday.Nicnoreply@blogger.com
