I played this for my teenage son yesterday. He said it was boring, fast forward one minute, he was bouncing off the walls with a huge grin. Heard him play it this morning when he woke up. Victory!!!
Love Patti. Punk doesn't give her enough credit for what she did. It wasn't about being a "hot girl", it was about using your voice. All hail Patti Smith, godmother of female punk.
In 1978 I heard Patti singing Because The Night on the radio and loved it. I bought Easter and Horses, because at 13 I liked horses. Easter was a great album, I liked the songs and read the liner notes. I had no idea what I had in Horses, tho. It sounded like nothing I'd heard before, adult music, the words were so different, the way the music flowed one song into the next. I read the lyrics on the album sleeve over and over, played the album again, fascinated. As I grew up, the songs had different meanings to me. Horses still grips me when I listen to it. It's an ever evolving process of discovery and appreciation that becomes richer as I age. What a wonderful poetic, musical journey it has taken me on these decades. Thank you, Patti!
I have loved her since I was a teenager...now 65. Fascinating as a poet, person, and performer. She bowed out while married to Fred "Sonic" Smith, of the MC5, and they just lived, quietly, raising their children, until he died of cancer and she needed to go back to work to support herself and her children. She combines incredible presence, insane talent, with unending work ethic. She referenced her mother, a waitress who made epic potato salad, reminding us none of our roles are less than any other.
Shamanism in the guise of music. She takes you to a place that is not of your normal experience and senses. And we, including her, are all together there. Sharing a unique moment that is beyond words or complete understanding. It can be so special.
NOW U R 18 ,😊 U GONNA hide behind a tag name Hey ❤ This SOUND D O N 'T A G E thats lenny Kaye & PATTISMITH.they broke the mould ,Dylan cgoose Patti to accept his Prize 4 literature that he turned down !!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Friends of mine and I saw the tragic fall Patti took off stage during the performance of "Aint it Strange" fracturing her neckbones Ran outside to the backstage entrance just in time to see the ambulance take her away. God so sad. But she recovered and came back stronger than ever. God Bless Patti Smith! Met Andi Ostrowe outside there too. We were all in shock. Would love to meet her.
" This skinny punk who hammered out dirty poetry....who never smiled. who was tough , sullen , bad , didn't give a damn.... She was a little Brando...a little Blackboard Jungle... a little Rimbaud...a little.... off the wall " Amy Gross , Mademoiselle ( 1975 )
Holy crap, this is a fantastic capturing of Patti and her band as they were taking off. Richard Sohl on piano, Lenny Kaye on rhythm (just to Patti’s left), Jay Dee Daugherty on drums, and Ivan Krall on the left of the screen on guitar. Note they weren’t using a bass player at this time, although both Lenny and Ivan were capable. She reminds me a little of Amy Winehouse. Overall, holy this is so wonderful to see!
Mike Quinlivan - Yep, that’s what I thought too, but this was before she’d been on SNL. It was an odd semi-private show in a college town outside of NYC, without bass or drums. Kind of stripped down. The venue was just a rehearsal room for musicians and dance classes … we sat on metal folding chairs and there was no stage or platform … they just stood in front of us maybe 12 feet away. I was doing college radio, and that’s how we got into the show. What a difference it was to see her on TV shortly afterwards bringing down the house on SNL! She exploded.
I was asked about what sort of music I liked and I said straight away Patti Smith. Who they replied. It made me laugh. When I was 17 she was so wild. Gloria, Horses, 25th floor and Because the night. She made a major impact on my life.
She made a big impact on my life too, even though I'm male and straight. Raw talent she had, and I guess still has. Would you agree that in this performance at least she looks like a female Jewish Mick Jagger?
Hope you have also read her books. I have a signed copy of her latest. I'm male and nearly half way through my 70s. She is phenomenal, one of a kind, at least among contemporary female singers. She takes a song such as this one, written by a male and performed usually by males, and turns it upside down. Is her version gay? I don't know, but it doesn't matter. It is definitely feminist. Her performance is as good or better than those by Jim Morrison or Van Morrison.
Wow, she sings with total abandon and yet the band is so tight and right there with her all the way. What a great film/video. What a great artist. Gives me chills!
I just read your wonderful book Just kids. I am from Lithuania. My name Ramune. It`s a flower comamile. I am writing about this period in my country. We lived in Soviet Union. We are independince now.
And may you and your country stay that way; I will invoke this as a blessing for you daily. The US (my country) of course is NOT independent from the Soviet Union or the GRU. Very sad, but we have a lot of hills to hide in and resist from. It's our time to learn this lesson.
I listen to this, she's unbelievable, they broke the mold, one of a kind, totally unique, no words for her amazing energy, her amazing self. So glad I was around to appreciate her then. Just carried away by her, this performance. After that I can't help but think, rock n roll is so dead.
To say this is Iconic is a huge understatement. I am a white Australian and this totally humbled me. Patti is the icon of what became new wave ('I knew Patti before she was hip') but for her to not only do Oils most relevant track, in Dublin, on 06/06/(06*3) and for people to sing the chorus is my ultimate. Thanks Patti.Thanks BumpkinzFunckRock
joseph ronco me too! I was 16 when it aired on SNL. Her performance changed me in a way. At the end while the audience clapped she stood there glaring. So badass! Love her. Going to see her in concert again this October in SF.
WOW!!!!!! The absolute rawness of REAL EMOTIONS bleeding out through sweaty pores of absolute BRILLIANCE!!!!!! PATTI AINT PLAYING WITH YALL!!!! You see and HEAR what you get and it's PHENOMENAL!!!!!!
@BumpkinzFunckRock, ThankYou for this GEM! Showing the clock, Patti waited till Midnight so it would be on Easter 1976. Patti & The Patti Smith Group raised “it” & us all Up with this performance on This Show. Best, dtf
I was 13 years old, when I heard this. I was flabber gasted - wow what an energy. It was my third LP I bought for my own money. As a 40 years celebration of the album she made a concert in the The Royal Danish Theater. Fantastic concert. The public was divided in two. Old geezers like me, who has followed her all the time and suprisingly a lot of younger girls and women. She is a big icon.
Janis Jhoplin y Patti Smith . Dos joyas . De este mundo Un exquisitez para el tímpano de mis oídos y para mis neuronas que Lloran de felicidad , cada vez que las escucho
Questa canzone per la grinta con cui é cantata,il crescendo delle note é semplicemente meravigliosae tutte le volte che l'ascolto non riesco a stare ferma e mi emoziono come quando ero una bambiba,Patty é un mostro di bravura e inimitabile.
This must be one of the greatest performances of Patti Smith's long and brilliant career. And "Gloria" is certainly one of her best songs: she reworks Van Morrison and Them's 1966 garage-rock "Gloria" into something uniquely her own, fusing sexuality and (anti)religiosity, with those piano chords chiming like bells - and those mad galloping drums - all the while behind it. Perfect! Sometimes I think Patti Smith is exactly the kind of performer that I'd give anything to be, and that I know I never could be. She's a true rock'n' roll poet, and as such, she's one of my greatest inspirations. P.S: If Steve Champion is reading this, can he please write back?
Hey there! I'm all right. How've you been? I was afraid you'd forgotten about me. I'm glad you haven't. I've got a video up on my TH-cam channel, of me reciting a couple of poems (one poem of my own, entitled "Wandering 'Round Alone Again At Night", and one of Lewis Carroll's, entitled "In Winter When The Woods Are White"). Watch it if you want to, and leave me a comment in the comment-thread.
The sychrony of the band that night was awesome. I can close my eyes, and try not to listen to any one thing in particular, and just groove on the oneness of it all.
I was born nearly a decade after this performance, but it still gave me the chills. The raw emotion and attitude this band shows is so difficult to find today.
"Gloria" has been covered very well, but never better and certainly never before Patti's cover was it an iconic Sapphic rocker! Her work was a breath of direly needed fresh air. There was no internet, few stations except exceptional ones like WNEW, WPLJ and WMMR in the Northeast even played that stuff and that mostly at night.
Don’t forget the many dozens of college FM stations around the country which could and DID play leading edge material like this. This was the hay day for them, with eager, informed jocks who played whatever turned them on.
I think I was in junior high when this aired on SNL...I think this was the first season...I was already a big fan of the show by this. Hey, it came on Saturday night, so my parents didn't care if I stayed up late watching t.v., if I kept the volume down. I would put a little portable cassette recorder by the speaker, and tape the show, so I could listen to the sketches and musical performances through the next week. Patti Smith did this, and The Who's "My Generation". I wore that tape out.
Congratulations for coming out on the other side. In my experience, there are three possible outcomes from dancing with the dark goddess: you die, you go to jail, or you get clean. #3 is the least likely.
I MET HER AT CELEBRITY THEATRE IN PHOENIX IN THE 70'S AFTER AN INCREDABLE SHOW. SHE WAS THE NICEST, MOST GENUINE, RESPECTFUL ARTIST I EVER MET. I WAS SO AMAZED BY HOW SHE GETS SO IN THERE WITH HER MUSE. I DISCOVERED PATTY THROUGH ANOTHER WONDER BAND, DETROITS OWN MC5 (KICK OUT THE JAMS). THATS WHEN MUSIC WAS ROCKIN GOOD MUSIC. I LOVE YOU PATTY & I LOVE HOW GILDA RADNER DID A CHARACTER BASED ON YOU, AND THEN YOU APPEARED ON SNL WITH THE ORIGINAL PRIME TIME PLAYERS. DAMN TIME GOES FAST
susan bond I too, was honored to meet Patti in San Franscico (78 or 9, saw her every time and place I could) she was very sweet and honest, she signed my Horses album. Sadly it was stolen. But my memory will always be there. She was my first girl crush, I was 16 or 17.
I played this for my teenage son yesterday. He said it was boring, fast forward one minute, he was bouncing off the walls with a huge grin. Heard him play it this morning when he woke up. Victory!!!

Good parenting!

Skinny punk androgyne so fierce and confident the way she puts the words together just raw poetry and energy.
Y...es!, you said it🙏
In 1976 this performance changed my life.
Same. No one else like her back then...and still.
Same. Life altering moment.
A mè nel 2024
Does that mean you came out?
My namesake song.
Always love the Hendrix version, but this is amazing! ❤
Love Patti. Punk doesn't give her enough credit for what she did. It wasn't about being a "hot girl", it was about using your voice. All hail Patti Smith, godmother of female punk.
I thought she was hotter than fuck...
Poet of New Wave
Oh ya ..th-cam.com/video/bVaBd8OjShE/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
Una de mis diosas rompedoras.
Personally, I consider her the godmother of punk, period.
seen Patti many times around NYC in the 70's She had a soulful powerful presence . love you Patti.
One of the best live performances I've ever seen. Incredible.
Agree 100%. Amazing. Plus she looks like Mick Jagger’s sister. If he had one.
In 1978 I heard Patti singing Because The Night on the radio and loved it. I bought Easter and Horses, because at 13 I liked horses. Easter was a great album, I liked the songs and read the liner notes. I had no idea what I had in Horses, tho. It sounded like nothing I'd heard before, adult music, the words were so different, the way the music flowed one song into the next. I read the lyrics on the album sleeve over and over, played the album again, fascinated. As I grew up, the songs had different meanings to me. Horses still grips me when I listen to it. It's an ever evolving process of discovery and appreciation that becomes richer as I age. What a wonderful poetic, musical journey it has taken me on these decades. Thank you, Patti!
Bought the Horses album in my youth and at 70 years old…..it is still very much in my playlist.
I've seen Patti about 12 times. No one compares to her.
This is one of very few songs that accelerate the tempo continually till the end.
I have loved her since I was a teenager...now 65. Fascinating as a poet, person, and performer. She bowed out while married to Fred "Sonic" Smith, of the MC5, and they just lived, quietly, raising their children, until he died of cancer and she needed to go back to work to support herself and her children. She combines incredible presence, insane talent, with unending work ethic. She referenced her mother, a waitress who made epic potato salad, reminding us none of our roles are less than any other.
What an original. Love the rawness in her voice. This song helped me through my childhood. Thank you, for putting yourself out there, Patti.
Danke Patty Smith! Great.........!
Her intensity is so strong the hairs on my arms stand up. She is a force of nature.
This happen to me too
Gets me every damn time! She's an original OG!
It wasn't just me then.
Shamanism in the guise of music. She takes you to a place that is not of your normal experience and senses. And we, including her, are all together there. Sharing a unique moment that is beyond words or complete understanding. It can be so special.
I love how much energy she has! I’m only 14, and I love all this old music
There's no such thing as old music. Good music is timeless

I was in high school when I saw this on TV. I was shocked and amazed and have never forgotten it. Chills to this day.
Awesome!! been listening to this since it came out in the '70's!!

And yet her smile is and was beautiful!
Holy crap, this is a fantastic capturing of Patti and her band as they were taking off.

you have that backwards Patti was rockin this shit before Amy was born
@@peterduerr4154 Yes buddy, I realize that. I saw them a little before this when they did a set without Jay Dee.
It’s strange that they didn’t have one of the guys playing bass. Hell, they could played it on open strings. Oh well.

now this is a true female rock vocalist! she was effin awesome! singers now cant hold a candle to her!
IS effin awesome! She's still touring and performing, and she's as terrific as ever.
@@Tracymmo I just saw her four days ago, and she's still killin' it, stirring up auditoriums full of of wildly happy fans.
Wow, she sings with total abandon and yet the band is so tight and right there with her all the way. What a great film/video. What a great artist. Gives me chills!

I watch this at least once a day, I can't put into words how much I love this.
Patti became one of my heroes in early 70s. One of a kind. So raw. So what I wanted to be!
Saw this performance on SNL. Completely blew me away.
She changed my life. It all started with this performance.
I listen to this, she's unbelievable, they broke the mold, one of a kind, totally unique, no words for her amazing energy, her amazing self. So glad I was around to appreciate her then. Just carried away by her, this performance.
After that I can't help but think, rock n roll is so dead.
Love the way this song changes up.
Simply Glorious !
What can you say about Patti Smith other than she has a brilliant and unique talent; both as a singer and a poetess.
Wow, to have been able to have seen this performance live.
I did, Superb.
Patti is still such a lovely person. You should see her sing Bob Dylan's "It's a Hard Rain" at the Nobel Prize ceremony.
What a woman. What a voice. What a song. I love you, Patti!
This is a truly great performance. Brings me to tears every time.
Gives me goosebumps every time.

STILL the best musical performance ever on this much deservedly maligned yet oddly evergreen show. WOW!!!
yes! PATTI and Gil Scott-Heron too (both 1975, right?)
Oh ya I forgot about Gil Scott! who knew him way BITDay?
Between the jumpy camera, a lack of focus, and my poor eyes ... is that Sonic behind her and to the right?
No...that is the great Ivan Kral...
One of the nicest men you could meet.

Was not into her back in the day. Discovering now. Love her live. Raw! Great presence.
Same here. I wasn't a big fan until I saw her live in the 1990s. (First of two times.) She's just terrific live.
@@JoshuaTanzer Ditto!
The sychrony of the band that night was awesome. I can close my eyes, and try not to listen to any one thing in particular, and just groove on the oneness of it all.
She is and was without rival.
No one more rock n roll.
When I was youg she was my favorite singer with Grace Slick and Marianne Faithfull Geat singers and Women with interesting personnalities .
Just perfect. She is a great performer!
Necesito a personas como Patti...las necesito!
I was born nearly a decade after this performance, but it still gave me the chills. The raw emotion and attitude this band shows is so difficult to find today.
It’s awesome to hear someone who really has something to say.
Lol
Fecking awesome !!
Patti the Queen❤
"Gloria" has been covered very well, but never better and certainly never before Patti's cover was it an iconic Sapphic rocker! Her work was a breath of direly needed fresh air. There was no internet, few stations except exceptional ones like WNEW, WPLJ and WMMR in the Northeast even played that stuff and that mostly at night.
Don’t forget the many dozens of college FM stations around the country which could and DID play leading edge material like this. This was the hay day for them, with eager, informed jocks who played whatever turned them on.
I like stories in music, and I think she is saying it is okay to love whoever you want to love✌️👍♥️
I think I was in junior high when this aired on SNL...I think this was the first season...I was already a big fan of the show by this. Hey, it came on Saturday night, so my parents didn't care if I stayed up late watching t.v., if I kept the volume down. I would put a little portable cassette recorder by the speaker, and tape the show, so I could listen to the sketches and musical performances through the next week. Patti Smith did this, and The Who's "My Generation". I wore that tape out.
Have seen You Tube lists of "best SNL musical performances" ever, and this is never mentioned. That's a big miss. This performance was the real deal.
One of the greatest songs of all time
betcha even God
Fell for Her
Gloria-us !!
This changed my life
Can't sing, can't play piano well, looks like an average person from a homeless shelter but...what energy. And what confidence. The essence of punk.
I 🧡 U PATTY SMITH!!!! U r so amazing!
Such a beauty in mind ...
Heard the Archdiocese of New York sent a complaint to Lorne because she was singing this on Easter Sunday morning. Love her shoutout to CBGB's
WOW.
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF OF DOING THE SAME THING WAY BETTER THAN BEFORE ❤❤❤❤❤❤
En discothèque, vers la fin des années 70, on devenait fous à danser la dessus, sacré rythme
Briljant. The album "Horses" helpt me trough a difficult period concerning heroin and other stuff. She is awesome.
Hope it is ALL behind you now...

I remember SNL parodying her in the 70's.....yeah she was that good, she was one first artist that original cast parody
I never read poetry until I learned about it from Patti Smith.

Powerful, goosebumps still
The high priestess of rock 'n roll. This is mesmerizing!
Beautiful song. Ive never heard of this before 2019
Listen to the Entire album, "Horses"!
LEGEND!
Holy f++k. What a powerful performance.
