"the blackest thing in Harlem is white"... god this makes me miss my young days in NYC in the late '70's...we had no money but boy, did we have fun! and then wall st took over everything, AIDS killed many of us, and the fountain went dry.

[PABLEITOR13]

[whangie1]

Watching this makes you feel like your there in the moment. It's quite intimate footage I think. Patti is awesome!

[MuchoKiller]

1:47-1:53

Real good time. 

[waynealarsen]

she always opened her shows with this back in the day. for those who never saw her before she broke her neck, it's is as close as ya get

[liveandmore]

Patti has some vital energy that never fades away. Go Patti!

[Larinho2]

[pmartin51]

patti rocks! she more than rocks, she is so way out of sight!! thank you patti!!

[findingarainbow]

The original punk girl way back in 1976. :) She started in 1973. :) and at 70 years old, she is still making new music and performing her classics today. one of the most amazing girls...actually girl or boy one of the most amazing PEOPLE ever, shes more than a musician too wow what a person i would give her a nobel peace prize for all shes done in the life, one thing being saving rock, being a hero for females, for her other humanitarian/activist work and other work saving poetry, art, people...

[11sweetdixie]

@findingarainbow Give her a break. She's not 70 years old. She turned 64 in December.

[wasp139]

She's great, she's brilliant, she's the mother, she's my goddes, she's the FUCKING GODDESS!!

[TheRevenge1995]

I need her songs! She is my god!

[Dachtewitz]

Patti is one of the female BEATS!!!

[Bopmuir58]

the best ever version of one of my favourite songs. bravo queen of all the bees, ms. patti!

[NilezII]

It reminds me of "Personality Crisis" (this is good)

[missZiggy549]

Wow.

[bartepixie]

I love this girl! She's a living legend!

[thekinksguy]

great song

[MsStevie65]

Good old rock..... They don't make that music these days.... Great!!!

[GardeMangerLove]

I would die for this woman

[tony0000]

"The blackest thing in Harlem is white." Even Lou could not have said it so well. Attaway, girl!

[melbatunes]

fucking great band!

[madofliv]

She's just the better rock'n'roll woman !!!! Hey patti ! when do you come in France?????

[Giiinful]

@madofliv  Le 10 Juillet à Argelès sur mer. Avec Iggy pop,le même soir. :D

J'ai hâââââte!

[Ease54]

I never get tired of watching this...

[DocWhat10]

saggy tits...

[leondenis00]

saggy brain

[suzebrewer]

i saw Patti many times in the 70's and she was NEVER ever a disappointment..just HOT

[WolfgangHolzmann]

@suzebrewer You rock!

[steelyman08]

It's nice to see Jay Dee Daugherty getting a bit of footage here: he really added a lot to the band (as did Richard Sohl R.I.P.).

[venisfurs]

you don't see lou doing any pattie smith covers!

[steelyman08]

This is one of rare times when I actually wish that I had been born earlier. God how I wish I'd been in the audience for this one. Dynamite!!

[venisfurs]

Great! could she be the female lou?

[whsonic]

no. never.

she's better!

[venisfurs]

ok let's not get carried away here!

[steelyman08]

lol

[aztiff]

Did she ever duet this with Lou Reed?

[louiseduvee]

It's eerie. We DO look alike... I was mistaken for Miss Smith at a concert once. Great cover, she's sharp! Thank you.

[Ease54]

Every time I scan my favorite list I have to watch this.

[louiseduvee]

Great cover!!!

Much thanks

[louiseduvee]

Great cover of Lou's song!!!

Thank you!

[SEANDI777]

She always knew how to kill a good song.

Hippie Fake.

[samsback4it]

Fake??? you are absolutely demented and know Nothing of what you write

[louiseduvee]

She's PUNK.

[ijustlovetea]

Let's see you do better. Until you can, fuck off.

[peskypesky]

I agree with you on both points. Very few artists should attempt VU covers. Patti Smith is an artist who has that license. Nick Cave is another.

[JasonBNYC]

I'd almost say this is better than the Velvets!!! AWESOME! BTW I don't think it's 1979 or 1980 -- more like 1975 or 76 would be my guess!

[empantallao]

This is the start of a concert in Sweden, 1978, the whole show was terrific

[deadflo]

10-3-76

[tony0000]

Great! On the BAI(?) recording she messes up the lyrics, which are wonderful (The blackest thing in Harlem is white.) Where and when is this show? Seems like Patti in her prime.

[tttrpaslikkk]

Hej čeština! Kdo by ji neměl rád?... snad jedině cynik bez srdce a bez vkusu. a bla bla bla.. Patti je úžasná, mrzí mě, že jsem ji neslyšela na živo. Ona tu písničku zpívá, jako kdyby byla její.

[NenapadnyStopar]

to trpaslik: jj. nevis nahodou jestli ma v planu nekdy v budoucnu vystupovat v ČR? nebo aspon nekde pobliz?

[keith25658]

really wonderful,powerful version,thanks for posting!!

[NenapadnyStopar]

ja ju zboznuju =)

[leseksemelka]

kdo by ji neměl rád?

[SkaterFTF]

Daaaamn. Sick performance. I love The Velvet Underground and Patti Smith. She did a great cover in this video.

[debrismiki]

i'm happy to watch this. thank you for your uploading!!

[MainStreetMonochrome]

around 79 or 80 I bought a bootleg LP "I Never Sang for Bob Dylan" of this concert. I bounced off the walls to it for months - suddenly I have the footage in front of me and I'm reliving the frenzy. She and her band look every bit as intense as they sounded.

[neoboy42]

Greatest female artist? Take out the middle word and you've got it.

[jimbo9998823]

Awesome version of a great Lou Reed song - by the best female artist who ever graced a stage! Thanks! I needed that! :)

[ThomasDeP]

awesome
