The Patti Smith group doing a live version of The Seeds number "Pushing too Hard". Lenny Kaye is singing lead while Patti Smith takes a break off stage. Lenny dedicated this song to what he said was his favorite Danish band, Savage Rose. I missed that and the beginning of the song fumbling with my camera. But I got the rest of it! Filmed in the gray hall (Den Graa Hal) of Christiania, Copenhagen, Denmark 20 June 2007 by Hunter Desportes.
For my playlist from these two nights in Christiania:

I will never, EVER get P. Smith. She sucks so badly in my estimation, I think she was a product of a moment when there was very little music for baby boomers to embrace, so they latched onto her. More " junkie chic" for a generation that was trying to convince themselves they were still relevant, when greed had become the daily raison d'etre for them. This is a great example.

Sky Saxon IS the Seeds.

Lenny Kaye and Patti Smith, the king and queen of the vainglorious. From such a second-city mentality, they become merely provincial pop. (no pun intended, Iggy)

If this was 1965, Patti would be a genius. But it's not '65, and this wannabe with questionable talent (more energy than actual mojo) isn't a patch on Sky Saxon's flower powered ass.

Nice try, but they're messing with the lyrics. Naughty!
