  • BEAUTIFUL AS EVER!! Even better than the original...GO PATTI GO!!

  • beautiful rendition of a classic! amazing job Patti Smith!!!

  • I like the way it looks... don't want to say that she is beautiful, but if i saw her face first I thought: I want to here this women's music.

    When I see Kesha or Jonas Brothery or Rihanna I don't think so.

    So I have to say that the look of musicians is important for me, but in this case I don't care what girl might be nice to fuck.

  • ITT: People who've never seen a woman age naturally and not try to hold on to her youth with crap like Botox and "trips to the dentist."

    Patti Smith is 60+ here, I'd say 61? And she's a legend. Not everyone looks like Angelina Jolie forever. And screw Jolie.

  • she looks like iggy with boobs, weird

  • patti smith is one of a kind........ kind of woman and artist

  • Is that Iggi's sister?

  • When I first played this song just now on youtube (looking for "Because The Night" by Smith, I was thinking "wtf???" and automatically assumed this was going to be a horrific version of this song. HOWEVER, I MUST SAY....... THIS WAS BAD ASS!!!! I am SOOOOO impressed! I friggin' LOVE this version! I have listened to this 3 times in a row! Yes, I was that impressed. Being a person of the generation when the original first came out, I have to say this does justice to the original! GO PATTI

  • hihi i love try new things and thats why im here

  • Patti Smith is genius, but to this song she did not add anything. Maybe that because it has been perfect before already.

  • @maldoror97 Or because covers aren't supposed to "add anything" to the original.

  • lool like romantic nights

  • Patti just shows us what is like to do a cover with respect.

  • Best interpretation of this song I've heard.

  • @24241Nellie -- I completely agree with you Nellie... she is beatiful, in all the ways we can look at her... and she is great. She is like a new mother for me, her art touches my solu in so many ways...

  • But she IS beautiful. In all ways. Get right.

  • it's just a bit sad that people only pay attention to singers who are attractive.............and most of the artist nowadays don't really care about what they're singing, they don't even mean it for real. :( sad, depressing reality.

  • @MultiDoubleTake yea but Patti Smith is freaking hot. I'm a girl and not at all lesbian, and not attracted to woman but Patti Smith is freaking hot-sexy and I'd jump at a chance to get in bed with her.

  • We recently covered "On A Plain" in honor of the 20th anniversary of Nevermind. Have a listen and let us know what you think (it's titled "Chariots On A Plain Of Fire"). If you like, check out our other songs and videos. Thanks!

  • @fefewtf: !!! :-)

  • She looks good.

  • I Love her,in every aspect possible,why do looks even matter when there is a fucking person preforming their art?I think she is beautiful.

  • Rape me, patti.

  • This is fucken awesome!

  • shut up jackass.......lol that awesome dude in the background at the start

  • Just a great woman,songwriter and singer...

  • THE SEXIEST MILF ALIVE, I LOVE YOU!!!

  • love patti smith but fucking hell, she looks so much like IGGY POP!!!

  • @999duhast

    You say that like it's a bad thing ;-)

  • @Frankenqueenie hahaha not a bad thing at all mate

  • patti smith is my idol. i lovvveeeeeeee herrrrrr

  • I dare anyone to show me a more magnificent artist today.

  • Comment removed

  • @hanscarter jack white is pretty good, alison mosshart is a good performer, believe me just because there are a lot of crap music in the radio now there's too, lots of artists this days who are actually good.

  • That's pathetic how people nowadays consider that the clothes or the face of singers and so on are the most important.. It's not because the actual shit is mainly marketing and not music, and the appearance for a commodity is almost everything (actually.. everything) that it would be the absolute criterion for judge if music is good or not ! Just look at the Pixies or Sonic Youth in the 80s-90s and so many bands and you'll see that they just don't fucking care about their clothes !

  • @Elvendorkk Or look at early 70's bands ñike the Bay City Rollers...Sweet..rtc...AAAAARR­RGH!!!!! creashonrebel

  • @Elvendorkk couldnt have said it better myself

  • Patti has always been Patti no matter what. A real legend and they ara few and far between. Did she ever record this as I would love to hear a top quality version of it.

  • sound quality is rough on this is handheld video, but it captures the energy of Patti performing in person.

  • This is exactly why I love Patti so much - she knows just exactly what to cover. & agreed Kurt would've been proud, but I bet Patti was even prouder of this message in 1991... It was never about angst, or about being one specific generation, it was about the power of the people to take all this shit back. Like @asrael commented - she´s able to communicate with people, that allready lost the confidence in human beings. We should all try to still hold some faith back for humanity.... -rock&roll

  • yeah - Kurt Cobain would be proud of you !

  • sorry really of topic but the dude saying shut the fuck up jackass was funny

  • I respect Patti Smith so much. She's an amazing artist in many different mediums.

    ... But still... Is it just me or does the lighting and positioning make her look like the Fonz with long hair?!

  • hey asrael u got you view well ironically well spelt she was a punk queen who has never been a trend setter (wouldnt want to be)

  • thats a woman?!

  • I think that Tori Amos's version shows off her cunt more than this. Sorry.

  • A melhor versão dessa música que eu já ouviiii!!!

  • it patti batting for jesus' team now. that cross she is wearing is very shiny. i am surprised that Patti Smith wd. wear a cross. not like i expect a pentacle.

  • @kindkingkenne Don't judge a book by its cover ;) heehee

  • @kindkingkenne

    Actually, seeing her a wearing a cross is not a shocker at all... If you get a chance, pick up her book Just Kids, you'll get it.

  • @misfitmamma she was always very spirtitual, even back in the 70's , in her hey day, she marched up to Ted Nugent, who was calling her ugly scag, etc and she slammed a bible into his hand and yelled 'here, read Corinthians, asshole!'

  • what is the new generation?

  • @ninegray you are a homo

  • @sexsleepandshrooms

    I am, if you are prostituting yourself I think I should ask for you to banned.

  • kurt would not have approved im a patti fan but still the least she could do was learn the lyrics jesus christ

  • @srythtusrnmtkn fuck you

  • @srythtusrnmtkn Hmmm, I am not sure I agree, do you really think Kurt was such an ass, so as to not comprehend when somebody was doing their own version of his songs? Kurt himself did these things and having Patti Smith, someone as influential to the underground 'Rock and Roll movements' that proceeded her, I would think would have been an honor to Kurt, as it should be to anyone to have Patti cover your song.

  • @srythtusrnmtkn She was singing it right, just in a different way ;)

  • impresionante

  • @ninegray its not about the singing its about the movement

  • Press 3 to see jesus christ

  • @SpyroPanAkisMan the new generation will never appreciate patty smith

  • Just Kids...

  • Why does this dude sound like a lady?

  • Wow she did it better then Kurt did.

  • you know she is a woman

  • hello i am in love

  • hello i like yuo

  • @11xzxzxz love all you YT f''in geniuses summing up a decades long career so dismissively. I am far from a Patti expert, but have you ever listened to the album Dream ofLife? Or Trampin'? Both completely full of PS originals -- one better than the next. But i'm sure you've produced untold works of genius far better than "People Have the Power" and "William Blake." Riiiiggggghhhhhttt...

  • @drivebyfluffer Thank you for saying the truth. Patti has stood the test of time, and just keeps growing in stature. Dream of life album didn't get much noticed, but it has truly great songs and soul.

  • She is beautiful in every aspect

  • Shut The Fuck Up ! Jack Ass in the beginning

  • A glacer le sang , merci Patti

  • Back in the day, I soooo wanted to be her guitarist.

  • Donner une telle dimension à un morceau culte d'un groupe culte, il n'y avait qu'elle pour le faire...

    Une pure merveille.

  • Love her

  • Why is this old hippy lady doing a nirvana song?

  • @thebleedingjeans aarrgghhh...

  • @thebleedingjeans - When is punk rock performed by "Hippies"

    Wrong era, disrespectfully stated.

    Kurt Cobain was a big fan, give it a second listen.

  • @thebleedingjeans

    il faudrait peut-être revoir tes standards !

  • patti smith doesn't even care what you think... she does her art for art's sake and the ramblings of you tubers is not even worthy of being on her radar.

  • this bites

  • @MOSKII58 You thinks this bites? Man i digg it, i think it sounds killer.

  • @abusethisaccount well i listened to it again, cause you said it was killer, thought maybe i;d give it a better listen, but i'm still not diggin' it as you put it, well at least we are not at each others throats like alot of crazy tubers here..i'll listen again someother time maybe?? lol regards

  • Why do people expect people who sing good to look like a model?

  • @Jacquelyn104 its psychologically mate,when something is beautiful at your ears you expect to SEE something beautiful too :)

  • "shut the fuck up jackass"

    best intro ever

  • It's not nice to criticize her looks, sure. There is enough weakness in her music that one should never resort to that. She has always been way over-rated. Her best songs were written by others. She revived Gloria and Land of a Thousand Dances and didn't do a lot more unless you think Because he Night is a great song.

  • @11xzxzxz

    Free Money, Pissing in a River, Birdland, Rock N Roll Nigger, Piss Factory, Kimberly.....umm yeah

  • Ich sag´s mal auf deutsch: sie hat das absolute Gefühl und ich wäre so gerne wie sie!

    Aber ich habe auch keine Angst!

    Greez von Beep.

  • Such presence . . . such power!!! Her raw talent still sends shivers up my spine. Such an inspiration.

    "Just Kids" is brilliant

  • @alhuede

    Tell me about it. So pure...so beautiful.

  • As much as Kurt disliked his own song,he wouldve dug this by Patty.This is awesome! Its a keeper!

  • A masterpiece of life, activism and art.

  • My life just changed.

  • She's got so much presence, she could sing the phonebook and it'd be good.

  • Patti Smith and Nirvana, it is after all a perfect World. Well maybe if Kurt was there beside her, but hey ye cant have it all.

  • que mujer tan increible!

  • Kurt would have been honoured.

    Its a very good cover. Kurt is a legend in my eyes,

    I really love this cover.

  • At least get the lyrics right goddammit.

  • Some guy yells "Wonderful" and then another guy yells "Shut the fuck up jackass" and a chick yells shut up on top of him. I wonder what that was all about lol. The guy yelling wonderful must have pissed some people off there somehow. Does anyone know what happened there? Just curious...

  • is it meant to be "in the night time" coz im pretty sure the lyric is "with the lights out"

    anyway, apart from that small mistake... its a great cover

  • I think this cover is bleeding brilliant. Thanx for posting it :)

  • "Shut the fuck up , Jack ass" Sounds like Biafra joined the crowd

  • I'll tell you (if you excuse me for using my horrible horrible english xD ) what "naaaaa mal ahi" means.... (and I think one of you told it right before)

    Naaaaa = Noooooo

    Mal ahí = "She did it wrong" or "bad way to do it" or "that's wrong"

    It's simply a way to say that this cover wan't enjoyed bay the person who post "Naaa mal ahí" =)

    I'm from Argentina, I really don't know her, but I will research. It's a great "version" (Not a "cover". A cover it's an exactly reproduction of the original)

  • @Bluevetteboy2012 Yes boy, and I can see your will for SUCKING some too (you know what I mean)

  • @eche1986 Suck me biotch!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I wish she was my Mom

  • I think she`snot able to lie, that`s why she`still so fuckin beautiful,of course unique and she´s able to communicate with people, that allready lost the confidence in human beiings.

    i know my english sucks, but hope you know how I mean this.

  • @asrael70 pile of shite

  • She is a timeless beauty.

  • Yeh, Patti you are the ultimate. We'll take them down!! You are ther true rock freedom preachun rebel, recognizing the murdering hypocrits for who they are!

  • deviam lavar a boca com sabão antes de falar de patti smith...ela tbem eh uma lenda!!!

  • Kurt would've appoved.

  • Kurt would've needed to change his pants. Nirvana is/was one of the most influential bands of my young life, but could you imagine what it would be like to have fucking Patti Smith lovingly cover a song you wrote?

    @RemoteAbductionArm

  • @shelbyloveforever

    Oh, I agree completely! I was just baffeled by the amount of people who seem to dislike this, but love Nirvana.

    IMO, that shows that they've completely misunderstood Nirvana. Still, if they think it sucks, it does to them.

  • @shelbyloveforever

    I'd be fucking honoured! 

  • @RemoteAbductionArm What does appoved mean? I'm from Holland ><

  • @Lenjaful

    It's just a mistype. I omitted an "r" -> "approved"

  • @RemoteAbductionArm Thanks. xD

  • Grande diva do rock

  • -swoons-

  • there should be more P.Smith in the world..!

  • Oh yes...Patty should be held in the highest reguard. Anyone who would speak ill of her is just ignorant and does not realize how stupid they sound making hurtful statements like that. She is a great American... musical innovator, humanitarian, and artist. A real artist. I love how she sings this song.....so soulful. Kurt was a big fan of hers as well.

  • naaaaa mal ahi

  • @hijodenix  What language is that, please? I don't recognise it. naaaaa mal ahi. Anyone like to have a crack at what it might mean?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @Ianos23 I don't know why you've deleted your message to me, but anyway you say that 'naaaaa mal ahi' means 'bah, bad here'. OK, but what language is it? Is it Spanish? I suppose the English equivalent would be something like, 'Terrible, this!' Anyway, no matter, I was just curious.

  • @archdeaconj Yes, spanish. But i am not sure about what he mean. ''Bah, bad here'', or ''not bad here''... Thats why i deleted it.

  • @archdeaconj

    'naaaaa' is sometimes used as a contraction of 'nada' which in english means "nothing"

    'naaaa mal ahi' could mean 'nothing wrong there' or 'not bad at all'

  • @m1perrovago Ah, that was my guess (see below).  Thx.

  • @hijodenix naaaaa mal ahi. Hmmm. Now 'mal' and 'ahi' are Spanish words. Here's my guess. Assuming that 'naaaaa' might mean 'n-o-o-o-o-o', does it mean, 'Not bad that!' 

  • @hijodenix como que mal hay? este cover es grandioso!!! claro no es la version grunge de kurt pero un cover no es hacer la copia exacta es agarrar una cancion que te guste y hacerla tuya

  • Patti's new book is awesome "Just Kids" I couldn't stop reading it!

  • 6:32 haunting

  • She does a mad version on my Generation on Horses as well. What a lej

  • J,ADORE PATTY SMITH. DEPUIS 30 ANS ELLE NA PAS PRIS UNE RIDE....BRAVO... ET DOMMAGE QUELLE NE CHANTE PLUS....

  • Patty is the BEST!!! This does for Teen Spirit what Johnny Cash did for NIN's Hurt. The studio version is killer.

  • @pieceomeat

    sounds like shit? think about her talent she's wonderful and that's the matter, who cares how many ages... everyone going to get old sweetiee

  • Comment removed

  • That song is just mind blowing, i heared it in bar few days ago, never heard of her before. Shame that some incredible songs like that are unknown to the large public

  • She's so god damn cool, love her!

  • at the very least learn the words...damn! Tori amos did a better job imho.

  • @romaggot fuck you and tori amos the world needs neither of you

  • Comment removed

  • @romaggot pretty sure her lyrical substitutions were intentional

  • dudes she gets the words so wrong " its much to lose until the end"? and in the night time its less dangerous? but in another video of her covering it she gets em right lol

  • @gregslates2 i dont think the lyrics where ever meant to be carved in stone or not open to interpretations.  no?

  • Yes, that's because it's impossible to understand what the fuck he's saying and probably after several pathetic little fanboys and -girls ran up to her after the show and said "Those are the wrong words! Those are the wrong words! I have the 'Lithium' CD5 with the printed lyrics and that's not what he says!" and shoved a copy in her face she shrugged and learned that instead of what she could puzzle out from the record.

  • La amo... 

  • @Ginebrain Grandiosa!

  • She's so fuckin awesome. Patti can cover just about any song and make it her own.

  • haha wtf that dude at the start

  • It's a very  individual cover and it's good, it's Patty, what else can you say? She's a wonderful person. And these pour retards critisizing her physical appearance and those who don't have a clue of what she did or who she is, should have some lessons before quoting stupid comments....shouldn't they?

  • @JazzmineMartinez : they should listen to 'Easter' and learn who she is.

  • @JazzmineMartinez I couldn`t agree more.

    As far as I see it, Patti Smith is the only artist that has true sex-appeal. And that is simply due to her amazing talent! She is amazing - a true legend, the one-eyed person amongst blind people!

  • @JazzmineMartinez

    Right on! She's awesome!

  • @JazzmineMartinez Yes, They should

  • @JazzmineMartinez she is ,was and will be forever the mother of punk rock,wonderful person and great singer, long life pretty Patty,I love you..!

  • @JazzmineMartinez

    I am glad that you wrote this. It will prevent me form reading others ignorant comments. I think that Patti is amongst the most pure and beautiful creatures on this planet. I would not like to spend many a precious moments of my life amongst people who could not appreciate a soul as radiant as hers. And besides that point, she is wicked hot.

  • @JazzmineMartinez goes to show you that todays youth seem more concerned with image than the value of a song and the power it can posess. i'm 28 and patti smith was way before my time, but i learned about her and her music growing up from my parents. its a great cover with a strong message.

  • @bevmacisaac thanks for telling me this. I had some difficulties with my account and now I signed in I was surprises about all the support of people. It feels good to see that there are at least some thinking and feeling people in the world :))

  • @JazzmineMartinez

    absolutely- I'm a great admirer

  • Does anyone know what she's saying during her the talking portion of this song?
