Patti was an unseen force in the seventies. Not even punk. There was punk but she was a romantic of theatre and rock. A poet and almost Morrison style. Her tempos changed with her back up band. Lots of furious Gibsons rhythm and crescendos. Lots of playful rock. She was a rocker in the sense that it blindly took her to heights of rock ecstasy. kind of a hero in my books when there was lots of mainstream AOR FM playing Eagles, Jackson Brown, etc. and new founds like Foreigner and Cars. Even in her movements of music you can tell she committed to her art long ago. She was no dancer, not pretty, not the best voice, but she damn had the heart to break out and make a people knew there was something out there that she and we liked. my peace. bless all during this pandemic.
I have some of her stuff on my channel, her vinyl is something that I actually still put on just to listen myself. She's so awesome and different. She's a punk rock poet with a savage rock n roll voice
She’s incredible. The energy she can pull out of a song with only three or four chords is insane. I love the increase of tempo and volume, you don’t see that as often these days. Patti is the shit lol
@@andrewdyke5561 Patti made it one of the most iconic punk rock lines ever. She wrote with lots of people. bruce springsteen in because the night for example. Van Morisson is a great song writer too. Musicians tend to play with each other ya know?
Herman heuningbier No. Shepard, who was a few years earlier Smith’s liver, played drums for awhile in Nyerere Unholy Modal Rounders, a group that had nothing like Patti Smith’s success.
In 1975 I was 19, and Rolling Stone was still a good rock magazine. I read the review of this album, bought it, loved it, played it for my best friend. We saw Patti at the Roxy in Hollywood later that year, and our love for her genius was born.
I'm late to the game with Patti Smith. Always known who she is but never paid her much attention. Then I had an epiphany. This came on my random songs whilst in the gym and I was just overcome. Wow. Unbelievable.
Waren das noch Zeiten, Sommer Zeit und Rockspalast, was waren das für Musiker, meine Kinder selber Eltern sind immer noch begeistert, nicht's gegen Rapoder so, Musik war damals und ist fûr immer
I’m an old man. Seen a lot of concerts in the last 55 years. Saw her in El Lay at end of her “Trampin” tour 1999/200. Incredible stage presence. The BEST concert I ever attended.
I absolutely love how the musicians are taking cues from her and adjusting their playing accordingly, like when the guitar player bends down to see what Patti's doing near the end. That's amazing to see in any live performance, especially one for a song as musically complex as this one.
+Thomas Headley -- I saw Them at The Fillmore in San Fran just before Van left and the band broke up. That was 1966. I am a year younger than you at 65. As for my comment above, I just like the Patti Smith version better. It is simply a matter of personal taste. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the music.
*@Michael Szymanski* Might it be that you failed to search out other bands......? Besides Smith ,there were plenty bands that made the early to mid 70's livable ,Bowie , Roxy Music ,Brian Eno , Todd Rundgren , Early Aerosmith ,Blue Öyster Cult ,Iggy Pop, Sparks, Ian Hunter ,Joe Walsh , Lou Reed , Early Queen , Man , Zappa, Beefheart , Robert Wyatt , Joni Mitchell ,Ron Wood , New York Dolls , The Pretty Things , even The Stones were still interesting . Bytheway....the first Boston album had some great songs ; later admittedly mediocrity set in . But still some dare to state that the early till mid 70's sucked .....We should be so lucky if we had such bands these days .
@@fizmath1994 Indeed ...Early Yes was brilliant , so were ELP and Zeppelin ..although admittedly these bands seemed to become the personification of the dreaded "dinosaurs"....but besides them , there was still plenty to enjoy .
This is what makesTH-cam such an asset, I have seen Patti Smith many times but I have never seen a performance like this what a band what a performer. Killer in every way
I'm with you. We had the Rockpalast synchronized with stereo via WDR FM radio. There was already color television and my friends had installed a huge stereo system. And we still smoked weed back then. Now almost 69 years and good memories. Thx You Tube and Rock Palace.
I saw Patti Smith when she first kicked off the tour to support 'Easter.' I've seen many, many concerts in my life, and this was the best of all. I can't explain it - - there was something in the air and she put on one hell of a show! The whole band did!!
A tour to support Easter? OK, why not? And why not even after what I'm to say is my belief, because she was, perhaps still is, a contrarian. I believe that prominent in her genes, so more likely in her mother's line, is a Jewish progenitor. Which is neither here nor there. I'm not prejudiced, as far as I can tell; though certainly this is impossible of subjective proof.
Phil Cooper It's actually aged very well. Like any singer it's not as strong as when she was younger, but she still sounds pretty much the same. A little smoother and lower, maybe.
From back when music could still give you goosebumps, a time when music mattered almost as much as life and death, I give thanks I was around for those times, we were all lucky bastards !
@David Vance So you're saying that Andy Warhol, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Nico, and Patti Smith are right wing neo Nazis? Nah, sounds like you're just senile. Do us all a favour and catch covid.
Ladies and Gentlemen. The closer has arrived. The vein popping , nerve tingling, poetry lines and vibes of the The real deal, Blessed from birth. PATTI SMith
I saw Patti at CBGBs in 75 when I was in college and that began a lifelong love: I’ve seen her (and her band) more often than any other artist. A few dozen times. Before her child-raising years and after. Every birthday concert for a decade. Thank goodness I live in NYC. I’ve seen almost all musicians I love in small venues.
During the Covid19 Pandemic of 2020 this song/video has brought me real comfort at a most precarious time for humanity.. It takes me back to a different time in my life, young, fearless and optimistic..Thanks Patti, you're the gift that keeps on giving!. Toronto Canada, March 2020
Patti, still gives me goose bumps after 40 years! She is a power house, poet, singer, dancer and Rock& Roll lives in her heart still! Thank you for all the fabulous shows and great band!
I was so fortunate to have seen live, Patty Smith in San Francisco's WinterLand- shortly after the release of her Album, Horses. It is a a cliche but I really was, Blown Away.
I love how Patti tries to protect the first guy from the violence of the security staff (what happens to Borg the viking, afterwards, is just hilarious!). God bless this woman, her natural-born kindness is only exceeded by her talent and creativity.
Patti's the best poet I've ever heard. She bends words to the beat so they fit her meaning; she effortlessly carries me into her emotions. She replaces reality with her thoughts. And she rocks. I mean, she really rocks. I stain my pants thinking of her.
Quel merveilleux souvenir d'avoir vu ce concert à la TV allemande. Malheureusement, en faisant mon service militaire à cette époque. M'enfin, G.L.O.R.I.A. 😊 Merci, Patti.
Saw this in my youth live on German TV. "Rockpalast Night" was a big event then once a year. Patti Smiths concert caused some controversy but she blew me away.
Mark E oh man i thought you just made one stupid comment but you’re all over this vid talking trash, if you hate the song so much why do you bother to comment so much on the video?
@@australien6611 I bet you can sing it better than her, then. People just enjoy her passion. Are you tone deaf? How do you tell? You're right that she is terrible which is why you never hear her doing a duet with Micheal Jackson or Micheal Bolton. They would never play Patti Smith on radio stations either because they will get too many complaints. But fuck them. If my girlfriend sang like Patti Smith I would still fuck her, would you?
Yeah, a cover in the end but she owns it! Possibly the poem is entertaining the thoughts she has about a gloria. She plays with her hair which is a very unusual effeminant and uncharacteristic move for Patty. She was hooked up with the Boss , Bruce Springstein when I was introduced to her. She did a great duet with Springstein and she immortalized his tune because the night. Then it was wierd, I lost touch with her , her music as if I was strangely not needing the punk . However, years later , when punk took a right turn, into a quasi- punk sound and absent was the true appearance and style held together by punk rock a few safety pins, I faded away . After the shit hit the fan with the Sex Pistols , sometime after , I found myself in a wreck of a relationship with this dude who constantly played 80's big hair mostly American rock music I was actually arguing with him about the the superficial, top 40 shit that the record companies forced almost all the bands into via their contracts all for the love of money , music became a commodity of a spaghetti sound in a bowl flung against the wall hoping most if it would stick to the wall! He was thoroughly confused. So, to prove my point , I remeber forgetting Patti' name if you can believe this. Pondered it for a week or so and even after the fact of me mobing on to a more copecetic relationship, I drove my ads over a half a state away with Ms Smiths music and a few other jewels of my past punk life ( now in the renewal phase because once punked, that shit never really leaves you ) I knocked on his door with a great bottle of wine and some party favors and popped in a CD I created with the best punk music ever and of course the headliner was the original punk queen herself. This combined with the great sex and a spaghetti dinner changed his dull life forever. Punk music is equal to the rap music movement of today. It's raw naked outrageous approach either turns you into someone you ever knew existed or you run away screaming down the road both emptions are completely misunderstood to this day. I guess it's fair to say you had to be there.peace
It's nothing like "punk". Just because someone has "attitood" doesn't make it "punk". This is far closer to Bowie, prog and Krautrock than anything to crawl out of CBGBs. It's rock, plain and simple.
Saw her just a couple of years ago live. Still a supremely compelling performer - total intense rocker. Grips the audience and doesn't let them go. It was fantastic!
I have news for you. There are others like her out there. But we will never hear those ladies. If Patti Smith were to come out today, 2011; the media, audiences, everyone, would call her ugly, strange, and completely reject her. She's a woman that doesn't look or sound like an American Idol winner. So she would completely go unnoticed.
frank zappa told the truth. the media is all about a buck and mind control... this era of music does not get air play in northern nevada. i worked as a dice/21 dealer and the clubs had great musicians... no punk, but we did have jazz.. off to s.f for that... music was !!! i got to see patti in austin texas. it was like she was singing to me alone. intense !!! i was lucky to see beefheart and zappa also... it is weird to be an old man.... rockettebob in reno
She didn't need the media. It was the time we're watching Richard Hell. New York Dolls. The time of Max's Kansas City and after a while bands like Talkin' Heads. Ramones. New wave, American punk. I don't care about names.
A windscreen wiper (Commonwealth English) or windshield wiper (American English) is a device used to remove rain, snow, ice, washer fluid, water, or debris from a vehicle's front window. Almost all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, train locomotives, and watercraft with a cabin-and some aircraft-are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement. A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots, and the other end has a long rubber blade attached to it. The arm is powered by a motor, often an electric motor, although pneumatic power is also used for some vehicles. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water, other precipitation, or any other impediments to visibility from its surface. The speed is usually adjustable on vehicles made after 1969, with several continuous rates and often one or more intermittent settings. Most personal automobiles use two synchronized radial-type arms, while many commercial vehicles use one or more pantograph arms.
wanted to visit the gig but was too young-13- so I watched rockpalast at night on TV realtime I always loved PATTI for her lyrics, her enormous strenght and power and her TOTAL dedication to music and her kind of art
wow i saw her on PBS last night the Patti smith movie which took 10 years to make.She is a great poet.Artist filmmaker.She does it all.I was a little baked on some bud last night.She makes sense.What an inspiration to all real artists in the world.within the darkest reach of her soul she pulls out some really wicked rocknroll...peace..danrockss
Tricia is so mellow spoken in person when talking. But on the printed page, the lighted stage, on the wind she is FEROCIOUS!! Growl. Ferocious poetry without piety.
I saw the Patti Smith group in the 70s. Un-fucking believably great concert. Bad ass band. Lenny Kaye on guitar...awesome. Jay Dee Daugherty, one of my favorite drummers, doesn't get the credit he deserves. And of course Patti. People have the power. I was expecting a good show, but it was one of the most high energy shows I've ever seen.
hardly anybody expresses the feeling of this time (the late 70s) better than Patti Smith ... okay, there are a few others ;-). I am sure it was a privilege to be able to experience our youth during this time
"I would like to see you some morning I would like to talk this over, very sincere Maybe we could meet in this life or after But until that time, I'm tabling him He's the one who disabled these veterans Veterans of pushing through an extra hymn There was only one layer covering the garden I don't know when we'll get there again But for now this is my answer I must accept the truth But then again, is this answer forever? Or is it just one simple question in the quest for my youth?"
Just love the old rock and punk performances from the 70's. So much energy and the audience total addicted to the music and what's going on in front of them. Not like today where people spending more time looking at their cell phones.
Grandma, tell me about Rock&Roll. Okay, let's start with Patti Smith. They say one shouldn't gild a lily. Well, if one adds the gold in all the right places, you get a work of art, regardless of what people say. She built the song into a supersong. How do these guys get Les Pauls to sound like that? Lucky audience tonight.
And that, kids, is a good method to bubble some plehpleh on the internet, or, with other words, loosing the pad. The music, but only for a while. Let's go back, har har har. Peace and love. By the way, Mick, i am with You, man.
Just yesterday I read an article that life is all about intensity. Well, me deems, it won't get muach more intense than this. (Except her performance at Roskilde Festival which i was lucky to attend. And I don't think I will ever forget the moment she tore her boots off and started into "I'm dancing barefoot")
I loved seeing her in concert in 1985 on the NE side of Chicago! We left slowly, still in awe, and since most of the crowd was gone, she yelled out of the 2nd story window if anybody wanted to party! My ex & I sure wanted to but Randy was driving so we had to go.
This woman is pretty much the only reason that I am not ashamed to have been born and raised in New Jersey✌🏼

I have to disagree. Seeing them live was one o the greatest times of my life.
Sam Shepard was on drums...
Herman heuningbier
No. Shepard, who was a few years earlier Smith’s liver, played drums for awhile in Nyerere Unholy Modal Rounders, a group that had nothing like Patti Smith’s success.
Chris Jx: ...and not just Lenny Kaye.
Every time I watch her perform live it's like falling in love all over again. I feel it in my heart and stomach. Long live the High Priestess.

I was 15. She blew my mind!
Rolling Stone was still a good magazine - like Star Log and Time. How about Newsweek? LOL
I saw her in Cleveland that year, I was 15. Could not believe her energy!
I think this is one of the best live performances that I've seen in TH-cam
Raw, spontaneous rock n’ roll.
i find that often videos on here of my favourite musicians are best when they are performing at germany's rockpalast venues.
This is a very good performance by Patti Smith.I also like Joe Cocker at
Woodstock singing “With a Little Help from my Friends”.❤️🥰😍❤️.
YES
I served in Germany during the cold war. i'm one of the good guys!!!!!
This was like a spiritual experience
The GREAT Patti. Saw her first in 77. Brussels. The front rows were totally destroyed. Whart a concert8

i like the doors
All I've got is "holy sh**!" I've loved Patti for 40 years.
Patti Smith breathed life into me at a time when Kansas and Boston and Yes made me dead. I owe this woman my life long love of music.
God isn't that the truth!!! Suck ass bands took over the airwaves back then!
Lumping perhaps the greatest prog band in with Boston and Kansas is fucked...
look up the early music from Yes around 1969, amazing.

And without drugs!!!!! She don't need it, because she IS too much

I adore this version of the song. Right now it's my favourite in my car. Extremely loud!
Mark E oh man i thought you just made one stupid comment but you’re all over this vid talking trash, if you hate the song so much why do you bother to comment so much on the video?
@@australien6611 I bet you can sing it better than her, then. People just enjoy her passion. Are you tone deaf? How do you tell? You're right that she is terrible which is why you never hear her doing a duet with Micheal Jackson or Micheal Bolton. They would never play Patti Smith on radio stations either because they will get too many complaints. But fuck them. If my girlfriend sang like Patti Smith I would still fuck her, would you?
Original Punk Rock Queen
Yeah, a cover in the end but she owns it! Possibly the poem is entertaining the thoughts she has about a gloria. She plays with her hair which is a very unusual effeminant and uncharacteristic move for Patty.
She was hooked up with the Boss , Bruce Springstein when I was introduced to her.
She did a great duet with Springstein and she immortalized his tune because the night.
Then it was wierd, I lost touch with her , her music as if I was strangely not needing the punk . However, years later , when punk took a right turn, into a quasi- punk sound and absent was the true appearance and style held together by punk rock a few safety pins, I faded away .
After the shit hit the fan with the Sex Pistols , sometime after , I found myself in a wreck of a relationship with this dude who constantly played 80's big hair mostly American rock music I was actually arguing with him about the the superficial, top 40 shit that the record companies forced almost all the bands into via their contracts all for the love of money , music became a commodity of a spaghetti sound in a bowl flung against the wall hoping most if it would stick to the wall!
He was thoroughly confused. So, to prove my point , I remeber forgetting Patti' name if you can believe this. Pondered it for a week or so and even after the fact of me mobing on to a more copecetic relationship, I drove my ads over a half a state away with Ms Smiths music and a few other jewels of my past punk life ( now in the renewal phase because once punked, that shit never really leaves you ) I knocked on his door with a great bottle of wine and some party favors and popped in a CD I created with the best punk music ever and of course the headliner was the original punk queen herself. This combined with the great sex and a spaghetti dinner changed his dull life forever.
Punk music is equal to the rap music movement of today. It's raw naked outrageous approach either turns you into someone you ever knew existed or you run away screaming down the road both emptions are completely misunderstood to this day. I guess it's fair to say you had to be there.peace
What about nina hagen
@@paulgriffiths3082 ❤ Nina Hagen
"New York" !!!!
It's nothing like "punk". Just because someone has "attitood" doesn't make it "punk". This is far closer to Bowie, prog and Krautrock than anything to crawl out of CBGBs. It's rock, plain and simple.
@@LaughingStock_ She played at CBGBs on more than one occasion, the first time in 1975. Patti Smith is well-known as the Godmother of Punk.
Saw her just a couple of years ago live. Still a supremely compelling performer - total intense rocker. Grips the audience and doesn't let them go. It was fantastic!
I have news for you. There are others like her out there. But we will never hear those ladies. If Patti Smith were to come out today, 2011; the media, audiences, everyone, would call her ugly, strange, and completely reject her. She's a woman that doesn't look or sound like an American Idol winner. So she would completely go unnoticed.
frank zappa told the truth. the media is all about a buck and mind control... this era of music does not get air play in northern nevada. i worked as a dice/21 dealer and the clubs had great musicians... no punk, but we did have jazz.. off to s.f for that... music was !!! i got to see patti in austin texas. it was like she was singing to me alone. intense !!! i was lucky to see beefheart and zappa also... it is weird to be an old man.... rockettebob in reno
She didn't need the media. It was the time we're watching Richard Hell. New York Dolls. The time of Max's Kansas City and after a while bands like Talkin' Heads. Ramones. New wave, American punk. I don't care about names.
That was G-L-O-R-I-0-U-S for sure. The crowd sure enjoyed the hell out of it. Love Patti Smith
Great song, great theatrics, one of the greatest performers of the 20th century (and still today!).
A windscreen wiper (Commonwealth English) or windshield wiper (American English) is a device used to remove rain, snow, ice, washer fluid, water, or debris from a vehicle's front window. Almost all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, train locomotives, and watercraft with a cabin-and some aircraft-are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement.
A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots, and the other end has a long rubber blade attached to it. The arm is powered by a motor, often an electric motor, although pneumatic power is also used for some vehicles. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water, other precipitation, or any other impediments to visibility from its surface. The speed is usually adjustable on vehicles made after 1969, with several continuous rates and often one or more intermittent settings. Most personal automobiles use two synchronized radial-type arms, while many commercial vehicles use one or more pantograph arms.
Well said review!!!
Oh my god I so wish I'd seen her live back then; bloody amazing!
Sorry youngie hehe, I saw her in the late 70's. I tell you the best concert. I think after Easter release.
Extraordinary version cover of Gloria.
Intro is Incredible-Immense.

That was one hell of a rock n roll band.
another Voice of the wilderness thank you Patti
wanted to visit the gig but was too young-13- so I watched rockpalast at night on TV realtime
I always loved PATTI for her lyrics, her enormous strenght and power and her TOTAL dedication to music and her kind of art
Ive loved her since day 1. Funnily enough, for all her great punk, the most beautiful song she wrote was, "Little Blue Dreamer" for her infant son.
wow i saw her on PBS last night the Patti smith movie which took 10 years to make.She is a great poet.Artist filmmaker.She does it all.I was a little baked on some bud last night.She makes sense.What an inspiration to all real artists in the world.within the darkest reach of her soul she pulls out some really wicked rocknroll...peace..danrockss
Tricia is so mellow spoken in person when talking. But on the printed page, the lighted stage, on the wind she is FEROCIOUS!! Growl. Ferocious poetry without piety.
You want to see how to command the stage watch this a 100 Times. An artist and a shaman channeling the divine.
i am obsessed with this performance
Primal. Hypnotic.
"A terrible beauty is born."
I saw the Patti Smith group in the 70s. Un-fucking believably great concert. Bad ass band. Lenny Kaye on guitar...awesome. Jay Dee Daugherty, one of my favorite drummers, doesn't get the credit he deserves. And of course Patti. People have the power. I was expecting a good show, but it was one of the most high energy shows I've ever seen.
hardly anybody expresses the feeling of this time (the late 70s) better than Patti Smith ... okay, there are a few others ;-). I am sure it was a privilege to be able to experience our youth during this time
Love and thank you to those who share, to Patti Smith and the musiciens, to the crowd there
It is giving joy so much
"I would like to see you some morning
I would like to talk this over, very sincere
Maybe we could meet in this life or after
But until that time, I'm tabling him
He's the one who disabled these veterans
Veterans of pushing through an extra hymn
There was only one layer covering the garden
I don't know when we'll get there again
But for now this is my answer
I must accept the truth
But then again, is this answer forever?
Or is it just one simple question in the quest for my youth?"
thanks for the transcription.
Incredibly profound! Did she write that passage herself?
Thanks for this. Chilling.
Just love the old rock and punk performances from the 70's. So much energy and the audience total addicted to the music and what's going on in front of them. Not like today where people spending more time looking at their cell phones.
can't decide whether she's more beautiful on the inside or on the outside... but she surely is both !!!!
Grandma, tell me about Rock&Roll. Okay, let's start with Patti Smith. They say one shouldn't gild a lily. Well, if one adds the gold in all the right places, you get a work of art, regardless of what people say. She built the song into a supersong. How do these guys get Les Pauls to sound like that? Lucky audience tonight.
my Dr told me I need to watch this at least once / month
SoCal Dazed a cruel and unusual punishment indeed
Nah nah. That doctor had literal soul. This is damn therapeutic
I will forever be in love with this rendition, this masterpiece.
Phenomenal talent! A brilliant poetess and rock singer!
i was lucky enough to see van and patti play gloria before i turned 18
Thank you Patti Smith, thank you to all Artists who give with their soul !
Full energy to all women in the world to WAKE UP !
my whole body is crying. beyond good. crazy!
This woman taught me the real mening of art. Thank you Patti!!
And, kids, THAT is what real music is like.
+Mick Wilson Be like.!
And kids, THAT is what my ass smells like.
And kids that's how to destroy an otherwise pretty good song
And that, kids, is a good method to bubble some plehpleh on the internet, or, with other words, loosing the pad. The music, but only for a while. Let's go back, har har har. Peace and love. By the way, Mick, i am with You, man.
SEHAWE wtf are u talking about ?
I always had respect to Patti Smith cause she was true artist nothing fake.
She is a true uncompromised artist.
talk about complete emersion in her art! following her since 1974
Just yesterday I read an article that life is all about intensity. Well, me deems, it won't get muach more intense than this.
(Except her performance at Roskilde Festival which i was lucky to attend. And I don't think I will ever forget the moment she tore her boots off and started into "I'm dancing barefoot")
Iconic Performance....
I loved seeing her in concert in 1985 on the NE side of Chicago! We left slowly, still in awe, and since most of the crowd was gone, she yelled out of the 2nd story window if anybody wanted to party! My ex & I sure wanted to but Randy was driving so we had to go.
