[The1632bass]

Patti has always been the real deal,so glad she has kept rockin ,my life is better for it,she has never been easy to predict ,which makes it fuckin fun to be a fan!!!!

I know that the song was originally done by Van Morrison, but other than the refrain, is the rest written by Patti?

[Anonandon]

I don't know if written is the proper word

sounds channeled (and i mean that in the best of ways)...

[sineddezra]

Don't know but on Horses, It is written Patti Smith as composer and not Van Morrisson..

This is actually a great performance - in Christiana - Denmark. This was a great place in the 70ies. One of the nicest locations for freaks and bohemians in Europe. I love Patty very much, since I have heared her first concerts in the 70ies. Nice concert - great song!!

i honestly believe this is one of the greatest songs of all time. it kills me and stops me dead every time i hear it. it's like i HAVE to listen. why did music degenerate so badly....

[haklarlun]

Damned right!

[Atouk]

Amen, mzzh. Music has take a huge dump and I really haven't seen true talent that hasn't been boxed up and bastardized in so, so long.

[CyrilleParis]

@mzzh the last sentence is a bit too much... I think when she sang it, Van Morrison's fan, old and grey, were saying "why did music degenerate so badly....". Youth is not a matter of age...

For better or worse I owe much of what I am today to Patti Smith. She, Costello, and others saved us all from the horror of the Disco Purgatory.
