Patti Smith "Free Money" CBGB October 15

[ChessVertigo]

Patti is the best. What a performer... absolutely amazing.

[ritzel95]

i wanna see her live :(

[mikeyross88]

I have the entire concert on cd. It is a classic...a nugget if you dug it!

Love this song, pure energy, good to get some visuals with i.

Thanks

This woman IS rock and roll, as much as her South Jersey compatriot Bruce Springsteen. If she hadn't existed, someone would have had to invent her. This song is one crucial proof of that... RIP CBGBs. I saw many shows there, including the Ramones, Patti and Richard Hell, and met her former friend Allen Lanier there one night. I will miss the place. There has never been another like it and never will be.

[revolution23]

what a shame they didn't play free money in philly this year. amazing show though! god, she hasn't lost any of her energy!

[Gremlov]

She still kicks ass like back in the seventies.

[the3penguins]

This is one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen. The camera is shaky, the sound is awful, the video is fuzzy...and that's all perfect for the vibe of this show. The energy of this performance is so incredible I feel like I was there. Fabulous.

[pinholedstars]

who's on drums?

Naturally.

[pinholedstars]

holy balls, that's TOM VERLAINE...

[pinholedstars]

oops... um, I mean richard lloyd.

right band, wrong guitar player.

[riotxcheese]

[pinholedstars]

guitar player.

[riotxcheese]

oh. the youtube comments were out of order when i replied, so i didn't see your correction. i was looking for tom verlaine, haha.

[overflite]

When all we have to listen to is rap people will preserve and save remnants of the past. Like her.

Thank God for CDs. Plus that young people love old people. Who kicked their whatevers in their day. Blessing the world. I am thankful that I grew up in the transition from the old to the new.

Few and far between. Patti. Sinead. etc. God bless.

[revolution23]

that guy on the bass looks like the bassist of the red hot chilli peppers?!

[Gremlov]

That´s because he is ;)

[Bikerhannover]
