Patti Smith Live "Are You Experienced" (Christiania 2007)

[JenR1]

Just because some of you don't understand Patti Smith, you don't have to put down her music. Can you do any better? My guess is no. Listen to her album "Horses" then come back and tell me or see her live or read one of her books. She is soo educated and amazing it is unreal just as this video proves.

this is SHIT



[mclaren450]

why did patti smith call jimi hendrix a rock n roll nigger then make a cover of his song?

[towser06]

@mclaren450 because hendrix was a Rock´n`roll Nigger, you don´t know what that means? He wasn´t like James Brown, who handled his business by himself, he was a stoned man you could drag around the country twice..but he was a brilliant man musically, but a complete faililour in anything else..

[tokiluv1]

@towser06 Not true at all.

Long Live Patti Smith

[klaotha]

This song - in which Patti Smith beautifully improvices in a salutation to Christiania, is tragically the farewell-song to CHRISTIANIA according to the government "normalization"(a crypto-fascist concept to which most "normal" danes agree )of the area. And that will probably mean the end of Christiania.

[ManoftheBeret]

Christiania will survive!

[dripley1]

What a memorable version of this song! Thank you Patti, Thank you Christine and Jay for a chance to hear it live in Philly on July 31st during a full moon with smiles on a summer night. Love Deb
