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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
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 !!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.
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!
Patti Smith is the queen of punk & Rock n roll! No woman in the music industry who can beat her ! She is real she never sold out she kept it real ! And truly amazing voice & performance! This shit we have today is gutless worthless !
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.
Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine Meltin' in a pot of thieves Wild card up my sleeve Thick heart of stone My sins my own They belong to me, me People say 'beware!' But I don't care The words are just Rules and regulations to me, me I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, well, anything's allowed And I go to this here party and I just get bored Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing Humpin' on the parking meter, leanin' on the parking meter Oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine And I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine Ooh I'll put my spell on her Here she comes Walkin' down the street Here she comes Comin' through my door Here she comes Crawlin' up my stair Here she comes Waltzin' through the hall In a pretty red dress And oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine And I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine And then I hear this knockin' on my door Hear this knockin' on my door And I look up into the big tower clock And say, 'oh my God here's midnight!' And my baby is walkin' through the door Leanin' on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge And oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine And I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name She whispered to me, she told me her name And her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is g-l-o-are-I-a G-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria G-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria I was at the stadium There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me Marie and ruth but to tell you the truth I didn't hear them I didn't see I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock And I heard those bells chimin' in my heart Going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong. Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong Counting the time, then you came to my room And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge And oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine And I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine Make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine G-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria, G-l-o-are-I-a gloria And the tower bells chime, 'ding dong' they chime They're singing, 'jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine.' Gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a, Gloria g-l-o-are-I-a, g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria G-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria, G-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria, G-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria
Thank you so much! I bought Horses in 1975 when it came out, but to this day there have been words and lines I just couldn't make out, like "Melting" and "Marie and Ruth". You have given me a great gift.
I've heard that song played a thousand times....I eventually got the album. And I eventually got UA-cam ...and played it hundred times more.... Yet, only by reading the poetry , does the depths of artistic beauty , talent , genius really have time to sink in. Singing like conversations evaporates quickly. Reading it let's the rainbow shine in the mind.
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.
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
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 UA-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 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.
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.
Unbelievable I'm 35 and this is my first time listening to this wtf, gives me faith in more searches ,I thought the van Morrison version was good 😟🤔 my god
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.
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
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.
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.
Two Morris sons have recorded this, Van and Jim. Jim has even done a "dirty" version which is worth listening to. Neither of them comes close to Patti's rendition.
Nessen was the White House Correspondent for NBC News before Ford hired him to be his press secretary. Buck Henry did a perfect imitation early on. Nessen went on with hopes of helping the Ford campaign (Ford taped the "Live from New York..." open and "I'm Gerald Ford, and you're not" for Weekend Update). All of the skits Nessen was in were pretty tame, but they did several skits that were pretty wicked and Republicans were pissed that Nessen went on.
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.
Patti Smith....Her imperfections are perfect.....she has no rivals in music or life.....we are all lucky to have been around her in our time.....
Exactly. She was unlike anything out at the time
@@Noodleydoo" Her imperfections are perfect". Hum. What does this actually mean?

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 ..ua-cam.com/video/bVaBd8OjShE/v-deo.html&feature=emb_logo
Una de mis diosas rompedoras.
Personally, I consider her the godmother of punk, period.
One of the best live performances I've ever seen. Incredible.
seen Patti many times around NYC in the 70's She had a soulful powerful presence . love you Patti.
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
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.
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.

Spot on !!
And yet her smile is and was beautiful!
My namesake song.
Always love the Hendrix version, but this is amazing! ❤
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.........!
Bought the Horses album in my youth and at 70 years old…..it is still very much in my playlist.
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'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!
Simply Glorious !
I saw this back then and it blew me away. The best all time music performance ever on SNL
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.
I've seen Patti about 12 times. No one compares to her.
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.
This is one of very few songs that accelerate the tempo continually till the end.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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!
Patti Smith is the queen of punk & Rock n roll! No woman in the music industry who can beat her ! She is real she never sold out she kept it real ! And truly amazing voice & performance! This shit we have today is gutless worthless !
The only other woman who had this force and effect was Grace Slick in her prime. These two are on a level by themselves.
Janis Joplin and Joni Mitchell are on her level but besides them, no one can top these goddesses
Janis Joplin!!!
Patti Smith is an initiator of punk, but the queen of punk is Siouxsie. People who don't get it don't know punk.
God!she was so young!!!The energy explodes and hits you in the face!
Awesome!! been listening to this since it came out in the '70's!!

This is a truly great performance. Brings me to tears every time.
Gives me goosebumps every time.
What can you say about Patti Smith other than she has a brilliant and unique talent; both as a singer and a poetess.

I did, Superb.
Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
Meltin' in a pot of thieves
Wild card up my sleeve
Thick heart of stone
My sins my own
They belong to me, me
People say 'beware!'
But I don't care
The words are just
Rules and regulations to me, me
I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, well, anything's allowed
And I go to this here party and I just get bored
Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing
Humpin' on the parking meter, leanin' on the parking meter
Oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
And I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
Ooh I'll put my spell on her
Here she comes
Walkin' down the street
Here she comes
Comin' through my door
Here she comes
Crawlin' up my stair
Here she comes
Waltzin' through the hall
In a pretty red dress
And oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
And I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
And then I hear this knockin' on my door
Hear this knockin' on my door
And I look up into the big tower clock
And say, 'oh my God here's midnight!'
And my baby is walkin' through the door
Leanin' on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
And oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine
And I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine
And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
She whispered to me, she told me her name
And her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is g-l-o-are-I-a
G-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria
G-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria
I was at the stadium
There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me
Marie and ruth but to tell you the truth
I didn't hear them I didn't see
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
And I heard those bells chimin' in my heart
Going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
Counting the time, then you came to my room
And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge
And oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine
And I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine
Make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine
G-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria,
G-l-o-are-I-a gloria
And the tower bells chime, 'ding dong' they chime
They're singing, 'jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine.'
Gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a,
Gloria g-l-o-are-I-a, g-l-o-are-I-a gloria g-l-o-are-I-a gloria

Tu es une fan..elle sera toujours à tes côtés...

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?
Hello stranger,
How's you?
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 UA-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.
Good luck 👍 xxxsusan 🙏🏻
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.
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 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.
She changed my life. It all started with this performance.
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.
She is and was without rival.
No one more rock n roll.
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!
Beautiful version...we all love Patti...amazing singer..
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.
excellente version pour une voix sublime et une personnalité unique I love her more and more
je l'ai vue en concert au Cabaret Vert à Charleville-Mézières..SUPER!!!
WOW.
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF OF DOING THE SAME THING WAY BETTER THAN BEFORE ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Necesito a personas como Patti...las necesito!
"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.
Patti Smith is a living legend
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
Just perfect. She is a great performer!
la version de Gloria de Patti Smith est plus qu'honorable. Bravo Patti.
Unbelievable I'm 35 and this is my first time listening to this wtf, gives me faith in more searches ,I thought the van Morrison version was good 😟🤔 my god
Hail the Goddess - there's no other like Patti.
En discothèque, vers la fin des années 70, on devenait fous à danser la dessus, sacré rythme
It’s awesome to hear someone who really has something to say.
Lol
When I was youg she was my favorite singer with Grace Slick and Marianne Faithfull Geat singers and Women with interesting personnalities .
never forget when she opened with this on SNL in the late 70s....MINNNNND-BUHLOWWWWWWW
It was Just past midnight Easter 1976. Notice the clock at the start, Patti wanted to wait till Easter to start This AmaZing GLORIA version.
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.
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.
Tous amoureux de Patti à une époque où on croyait encore que la musique pouvait changer le monde...
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
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.
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...
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 remember SNL parodying her in the 70's.....yeah she was that good, she was one first artist that original cast parody
This changed my life
I like stories in music, and I think she is saying it is okay to love whoever you want to love✌️👍♥️
betcha even God
Fell for Her
Gloria-us !!
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.
Brilliant! Nothing more to say!!! Love it!
Two Morris sons have recorded this, Van and Jim. Jim has even done a "dirty" version which is worth listening to. Neither of them comes close to Patti's rendition.
That's Ron Nessen introducing the Patti Smith Group on SNL...pure 70's bizzarro
Nessen was the White House Correspondent for NBC News before Ford hired him to be his press secretary. Buck Henry did a perfect imitation early on. Nessen went on with hopes of helping the Ford campaign (Ford taped the "Live from New York..." open and "I'm Gerald Ford, and you're not" for Weekend Update). All of the skits Nessen was in were pretty tame, but they did several skits that were pretty wicked and Republicans were pissed that Nessen went on.
Such a beauty in mind ...
Holy f++k. What a powerful performance.
Eu amo essa mulher com todo meu coração. O rock salvou a juventude dela e ela salvou a minha
I 🧡 U PATTY SMITH!!!! U r so amazing!
Thank you!
I love her and get to see her tomorrow night! I was at her first gig at CBGBs I had a great fake I’d. I was 16.
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven.
One of the greatest songs of all time
LEGEND!
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"!
this rocks me to the core.
Amazing!!!
Powerful, goosebumps still
