Patti Smith sings a Neil Young song recorded in 2005 ... there comes a time, I suppose, when men begin to reflect on things beyond their own dreams and truly care about those reflections concerning loved ones ... and how it all still seems so ... so much like a dream.

"It's a dream
Only a dream
And it's fading now
Fading away
It's only a dream
Just a memory
Without anywhere to stay"

  • Purely beautiful ...was there...tears streaming down my cheeks. So glad you captured this. Perfect Patti Smith moment for Young and us all.

  • @Mosey418

    Thank you. I'm glad you were there too.

    Except for a few bands, I think I teared most of the time myself.

    They were singing the best of Neil Young with their very own hearts,

    with voices from the head and from the chest.

    It truly was beautiful.

    Best,

  • Amazing. 

  • Heard this cover at Barcelona. Pure magic. Didn't know the Neil Young song. Since then it's one of my top 10 songs and top 3 covers.

  • My wife & I saw Patti at the previous year's Who Tribute at Carnegie Hall, where Patti yelled out "Forgive me Carnegie Hall for what I am about to do" and then proceeded to spit on the stage and launch into one of the Who rock chord anthems in a manner which would not surprise any Patti Smith fan. We were at this performance as well, wondering if she will again do the "spitting thing" in true punk priestess style and were incredibly disarmed by this wonderful, restrained performance. Well done!
