what's up with the gratuitous audience applause?
*Patti (not Patty) Smith
Thank you. I was just going to ask if there was somewhere to watch that.
Is Patti difficult for you to spell, Skavlan?
Who's the intense woman with the smeagle face?
Patti Smith is the greatest non-diva diva of all time.
Also emily carr
Well said, Ricardo! 🙏 👏
With the greatest mustache
Barbara Mulvaney I think she looks fabulous
Patti Smith continues to inspire. She handles this performance gracefully. Honestly.
We should all be grateful to live in the time of Patti Smith.
We agree!
so true man, so true
This made me cry!
Yes, yes we are! 🙌
amen, one of the last of a dying breed! so grateful she's still with us, imparting her wisdom on us all. 🙏🏼💕
It makes me a little sad to think she was humiliated and ashamed. I thought that her performance was INCREDIBLE! And I thought it took such bravery and courage and humility (not humiliation) to admit that she made a "mistake." I am so grateful that Patti Smith exists in this world.
She’s a true goddess
Goes with the territory! I love how she just told the truth and started over !!fabulous🙌🏼♥️♥️♥️🎶
I'm SO grateful that Patti Smith exists in this world too... When i'm sad or feel bad, i read her, i listen her... Her art is healing
❤
@@elizafaria967 No... She cannot play clarinet, or guitar and she's not a goddess.
The interviewer is great. I want to acknowledge his great sensibility towards Patti's work.
Thanks so much! And thank you for watching :-)
Excellent interview
Only Americans are paid to start drama and expound the views of their employer. This country has become a disgrace.
@@elsagrace3893 umm...huh?
Monique Douglas I so agree. Wonderful interviewer. Saw this for first time in June 2022.. Greetings from Adelaide, South Australia.
Is it just me but does Seth Meyer look as if he's thinking "ITS F@#KING PATTIE SMITH!! BE COOL...DONT FREAK OUT!". I love her & admire her so much!! TRUTH!
That'd be what I'd do.
I think it's more revulsion than adulation
Totally!! I was thinking the exact same thing! ❤️ He is ear to ear smiling. She is a legend and he knows it.
I think it's cringing not smiling
@@christopherdennis4280 How many times will you make the same point? Keep going, you're still wrong.
That performance was one of the most beautiful moments in music ever caught on film. She was the epitome of grace and humility. So real and vulnerable.
I agree. I respected her for starting the song over. And like she said it was “honest”. And people respect that honesty.
❤❤❤
❤
Yes thats right its the felings thats matter and not the form so autentic and heartly true ❤️❤️🥰🥰🌸🌸
One of things I love about Patti is that she is completely honest. She doesn’t filter shit, she just lets it out.
You've painted a very unpleasant, graphic image with your final sentence 🤢
@@aperson2730 Well, maybe for 7 year olds like yourself.
@@suchabadkitty1293 Feel better now?
I really dont think that's true. She is very intelligent and filters a lot, which doesn't mean that she is also very truthful to herself
Yes !
I saw her in 2004 in Houston. She looked just like that. During the show she walked to the back of the hall and stood a few feet away from me. A whole lot of people were trying to get close and touch her. She looked at me, and we just had a moment of respect; she knew that I didn't need to grope her to appreciate her and she signalled her appreciation for that moment. We saw each other as people, not as icons or strangers.
I love this. I get it👍🏻
Whatever you have to tell yourself..🙄👌
Oh dear... Patti was probably thinking about how to escape the escalating situation and her eyes happened to stop searching for a few seconds as you weren't acting like a nutcase. Sorry to burst your bubble, but mutual respect never happened.
@@juliegrace8461 You've "burst" nothing.
@@psst...heyyou6508 What's YOUR problem?
I love her. She's my North Star. A gorgeous woman and beautiful soul. She is clear, congruent, and filled with artistry. She would be the most interesting person in any room she is in.
Elma Kim Eldridge I reckon you listen to Florence Welch? ;)
I didn't know much about her honestly. I'm 41, which isn't an excuse at all--- but then I read Just Kids when it came out and Boom! Incredible artist, creative genius, truly cool human.
@@nitschpi4447 Why?
Her humility and warmth make me love her more.
Yes✌🌻
@@eldafyre
She's so real, I would love to talk to her.
I love that she says, "birfday". She's so vulnerable and human. ♡
@@joelspringman7748 Follow her insta and say gday :)
Yes. Why can’t all musicians and celebs be this way?
Patti Smith has nothing to be ashamed of. Her performance at the Nobel was impossibly beautiful and moving.
❤ Very Nice to play it on the guitar !
What an amazing woman.
I couldn't help but notice how respectful everyone there was to her. Then I realized they were all 100% engaged in what she was saying.
Not many people have that kind of power.
Way to go Patty!
When the Lady speaks my Monkey Mind stops and I practice Body Mind and Spirit listening and hearing 🙏
@@bobbycravens7153Haha omg 🙄🤮
I would want Patti Smith as a grandma.
Alex Delarge Grandmother of Punk!
Hell yea Alex
I’ll never see her as a grandmother. I don’t know why.
Alex Delarge who wouldn’t?
or a good friend or mentor.
What a great, respectful, warm interview. The interviewer is asking intelligent questions and not making the interview about himself. He's superb. Patti is the most amazing woman ever. ♡
Blondie101010100 This interviewer is awesome!!! Please someone have Jimmy Fallon watch and learn from this!!!!!!
the interviewer is the greatest!
@@peggie7126 *🙃*
Patti is an American Treasure. She has given the world a very unique and beautiful way of seeing the world. Her Art is so heartfelt and soulful
You gotta love Patti. Such a nice and genuine human being.
Beautifully said!
Yes.
Thank God I discovered Patti Smith. She is beyond words.
She was very important in my life too. I still have Babel, love this lady
Cat ji Same, i started doing poetry and songwriting because of her. Back then i didnt know how to do poetry especially when English is my second language but the more I read and the more I listen to her, something kinda clicks in my head.
@@catji9266 me too
Love the energy at the studio. No stupid clapping after every sentence. Honest discussion, yet lighthearted enough.
Well there's Scandinavian television for you.
Hey, I met you here years ago! I liked you profile pic, and you told me she was an Estonian actress, I believe.
HAHA, yes! What a coincidence. Wonder which video it was...
No idea. This must've been 4 or 5 years ago.
But I never forget a face, and this face is hard to forget. :)
Good memory, indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Graham Norton video.
Patti Smith's performance at Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize Ceremony was something that I'll n e v e r forget. It was so honest, so true. I've watched it a few times already and it moves me every time I watch it
Ditto
I won't forget it either, but I'll keep on trying.
i have watched it twice and have cried twice
It was a disaster how can you forget the words to a song like that
agreed!
Nonsense. Patti Smith was awesome and human. I loved her performance and the graceful way she handled forgetting the lyrics. She is beautiful.
I've seen Patti's Nobel performance more than 50 times. It's one of the best covers/performances of a Dylan song I've ever heard - flaws and all.
I like to look at people's faces in the video and try to figure out what they were thinking and feeling so that I can imagine how it was like to be there. It's that good!
Fernando Lino I so agree with you!
Excellent! What a song!
I'm not trying to be mean, but is she sporting a mustache?
Basil Fomeen does she care? I hope not!
Absolutely agree with you - the scientists, novelists and politicians in that room all know the pain she felt when she lost her part - they would have all had that experience in their lives. Her cover of the song was brilliant.
Patti was In Stockholm, at the Nobel ceremony to sing A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall, which is 7 minutes long, to honor Bob Dylan, the Literary Laureate. When Patti messed up at the second verse she asked if she could begin again. Later she spoke to Bob Dylan's oldest son who said the whole family were very happy with her and he said that his father said, "No one messes up his lyrics any worse than he does."
Thanks Charmian for this information. It is another example and illustration how humble Dylan in fact is. He only regards himself as a simple singer-songwriter, nothing more, nothing less.
Bob is a very private man..... Communicate with the family or fuck off. That is the message i am hearing....
Have you ever tried to memorize your own lyrics. Lmao have you tried memorizing when to sing on the right note from your own song. Yeah it’s pretty hard because you have a song coming up in your head while you sing. It’s happened to me when I was in my makeshift band.
I cant see why its a "thing" lol. Firstly, im just a random peasant. Then theres no way I could do a better job. Most of the times im impressed how well mistakes are saved by musicians. It was a beautiful moment when Patty Smith froze. With an intellectual audience that is cheering and sends love and understanding is a rare occasion. That's manners we should all learn from.
Yes, she said that in the interview, I was watching it too
Seth Meyers looks at her like he's in so much awe. He's a class act just by looking at his reactions to Miss Smith.
loveloses it’s obvious that he is so intimidated by her presence... he’s a nice guy and full of appreciation
Hello cutie! 😘
loveloses That makes him a class act? Sorry, it's about what's on the inside for me. He's absolute shit, he should try being funny once, then maybe try and not have a joke that's about Trump on his show. It's, ok I remember when I was 15. Kind regards.
jmgmarcus Yes- Seth Meyers is a Class Act, a Gentleman🦋♥️
He looks like he’s saying ... thats spooky
She is so freaking cool. So intelligent, loving, free, outspoken, simply amazing.
I don’t know what it is but she always makes me cry. Something from her grabs my heart and emotion comes forth, and I’m a stiff upper lip Englishman.
Arthur Arthur same ... and first time ive ever looked around an audience at a show and seen a sea of music snobs and hipsters openly weeping, without a hint of shame in the room.
me too
I was just going to post something along those lines but you said it best! Yup. Don't know why but she touches my soul..
I feel totally the same !!
That's why you cry.
Patti is more breathtakingly warm and human than I even realized before.
Americans that have late night shows should learn from europeans..they actually ask questions with value and allow their guests to be themselves and actually anwser the question.. not just laughing and making unfunny jokes every 3 seconds liuke the guy sitting next to patti!
Patti, You rock!
All the late show hosts are european.
Not all American talk shows are late night comedy crap. There are plenty of good,real TALK shows that allow the guest to be themselves and actually have a conversation with the host.
Always the bullshit “ We Europeans are superior “ mantra.
I guess that's the difference between trash and normal
“Americans could learn a thing or two” Shut up with your Eurocentric babble... Europe will NEVER have a Carson or a Conan or a Letterman or an Oprah or a Kimmel or a Jon Stewart or a Howard Stern or a Marc Maron or a Dick Cavett or a Larry Sanders or a Jimmy Fallon.... and the list could go on but I don’t wanna get carpal tunnel syndrome. Entertainment is the name of the game dude. Interrupting a celebrity isn’t a sign of disrespect. It’s a sign of moving on to the next question. An experienced interviewer knows that. If the guest isn’t a self-indulgent asshole, he should know that too. Also, it’s the host’s show, NOT the show of the person being interviewed. Nice try though.
Side note, does anyone honestly think that if Europeans were still running the show, the world would be a better place? I mean, I guess so, if they’ve never read anything about the history of the civilized world.
What happened in Stockholm was so human and of heart-whole vulnerability, which made it to a great moment.
I saw her live in the early 80's and she doesnt have a great voice by any means but the way she sings with emotion had me crawling out of my skin.. she was great.. Thank God shes living to an old age and can enjoy life.. SHe's a true legend
Bravo!!!
It’s like the line from “Cripple Creek” about Spike Jones (not Bob Dylan) - “I don’t like the way he sings, but I sure like the way he talks!” ;)
@@ScottHz I think that's about Spike Jones.
@@ScottHz Spike Jones. Nothing to do w Bob Dylan.
I have ALWAYS adored Patti. A straight-shooter. Pure & clean. An amazing woman-- her views, thoughts, & intellect make her incredibly attractive.
♡
Yes, I'm in love with her too.
I love this woman. I just finished her book about herself and Robert Maplethorpe. Great book and great lady
I've just started reading her book, it is a masterclass in language and emotion.
JUST KIDS is the book and it’s heartfelt ❤️💕
I am touched by the way Seth is in awe.

@@julieturner1541 That’s good to know. How’s the weather condition over there?
“By doing something you like and you believe in, it gives you internal strength”
Love how respectful Seth Meyers is
The performance that caused her humiliation, made that performance even more outstanding. I actually broke down and cried watching it when my brother showed me. Gives goosebumps.
Love that women. She inspired me when I was writing code in 1975 when Horses came out. That album broke me out of linear thinking.
linear thought is a joke
A great and genuine personality she is. And good job by the interviewer.
watch dog Yes, he allows the guests to actually speak and answer questions in full sentences! A breath of fresh air...
Billy is not charming at all.... 😱
@Charming Billy shit my pita bread's got a hole init
“I’m kid friendly” that was great.
Her "fail" in Sweden made me fall in love with her all over again. It revealed the depth and power of the love and innocence she has inside.
Patti Smith’s performance at the 2016 Nobel Prize Award Ceremony was the strongest come back ever.
To freeze in a situation like that - take a deep breath - and start again takes an inner strength.
This is a very grounded woman..she speaks her mind.and is full of love and respect.I Love her for being real in a plastic world.
I want people to notice how Patti tells a story. The white radiator and the blue coat when she first saw Fred. Those are the thoughts and words of a poetess.
I love her so much! I first heard her album when I was 15, now I'm 55 and still adore her.
Same here ! Still have those first three albums of her
"if you tell the truth to people , they are very forgiving" what words of wisdom. thank you Patti for the most memorable performance. ❤️🙏💐
No sugar coating music star. Patti is genuine to her crafts and soul. Truest soul.
Best interviewer since Cavett. His questions are interesting, he is genuine, and then he listens. No worries, Patti...telling the truth is simple and brilliant. The audience is always appreciative of honesty. Patty is so very interesting and down to earth.
I’ve had a lot of favourite women in my life but this one is my all time love . A true living legend

The first time I heard Patti Smith was on underground radio in 1975. My friends and I were driving around late at night and HORSES came on. I had never heard music like that. I love her so much ❤️❤️❤️ My biggest regret is that I never got to see her in concert.
Such a clear lovely woman.
She has a mustache and could of shaved!
@@lindadavies3281 .... she doesnt wanns shave lol leave her alone
People on UA-cam tried to hate on her and humiliate her for the performance at the Nobel event, but the audience’s reaction, and their thunderous applause at the end tells the true story.
As a french person I really want to thank Patti for her SO clear and easy understandable phrasing!!!! what a pleasure!!! I almost got every word at first listening! Great!!! and surprising!!
English is my language. I also have difficulty catching many English speakers words. It is a cultural phenomenon; most anglophones are imprecise with pronunciation & grammar.
As a kid I used to be scared of her photos because she looked so earnest and serious. As a grown up I know her to be a tender, wise, and loving artist.
She is such a sweet and special person.
Patti Smith is awesome! She has very beautiful voice , incredible courage, and extraordinary presence on stage at any age!
The Tale of Patty Smith in 1 sentence:
Once upon a time, the wisest & gentlest woman in the land said to herself, “Fuck this shit,” and all who heard lived more happily ever after for of it. 🤘🏽
LMAO
Just hearing her speak... i feel so emotional that tears are rolling down my cheeks.
Don't be that way.. she's just a person talking. Find a human closer to you to experience these things.
@@morbidmanmusic Dont tell others how to feel.
Patti Smith has such a beautiful past Peace will happen in our lifetime!
what beautiful eyes she has. Very kind.
@Sandra Kenny What do her songs have to do with her eyes!
Patti Smith was pure lighting in concert in 1979. I never saw such energy on a stage. The most memorable performance I’ve ever seen to this day. The audience was totally engaged and infected by her fire. Electric ⚡️💥🔥
"Outside of society, they're waiting for me
Outside of society, that's where I wanna be"......that's been my theme song since the first time I heard it in 1977 at the age of 13 and she's been one of my musical heroes ever since......
Yeah!
I remember she was playing at a venue in Hollywood Fl years ago. She wanted to keep playing when the concert ended. She stayed on stage even after the so called music director turned off the stage lights, shut off her amplifier and turned on the house lights to get the crowd moving. I stood there and looked up at her and she looked down at me and in between grimaces, kept playing her guitar. I sensed it was painful for her because she wanted me to hear her electric guitar. I’ll always remember her tenacity. Thank you Patty for teaching me how to keep on keeping on.
What an incredible, solid woman. That is what integrity looks like.
Integrity has gray braids? Always?
Such a beautiful soul, Patti Smith. ❤
I was lucky to see her live in '77, when I was 19. Powerful performance!
I gave you a cup of black coffee at Park West Club in Chicago during your early years. I was so honored to do that for you. Thank you Patti!!
Please tell the story 😍 ?
Park west was the place , went there many times wish I would of seen Patti when she played there
She is wise and honest. I will have my first child soon and I embrace the disappearing or pausing of self-fulfilment and giving my sole focus on this beautiful creature to come. She is an inspiration! Thank u Patti ❣️✌️
She is an honest and charismatic lady. Hope women/men would get inspired.
What a nice person. Just so pleasant to be around.
This is fantastic. So much integrity -- mature people sharing important personal insights. On so many other shows everyone would be trying to outdo each other being clever and interrupting the person speaking to get in a joke. American talk shows are notoriously trashy and phony that way (The View, The Talk, all the talk shows at night). But then there is also Graham Norton.
Noe Berengena Graham Norton is great! And British 😉
Very well said, Noe. We can even go further and say America as a whole (and popular culture) has devolved to become trashy, phony and self serving.
Well said
marcel1970x How is Norton a brit? He was born in the Republic of Ireland.......
Noe Berengena you r rite about the revolving door of crap that is generated on american tv . i remember when johnny Carsons show was like this , when they would talk calmly about mature subjects .
Patti Smith was and is a breath of fresh air. Her total lack of affectation and her honesty shine through. Thanks, Patti.
The day after I engaged my now wife in Berkeley, we walked into Golden Gate Park and Patti was performing a free concert. The craziest part is there was no more than a few hundred people. The park was practically empty, and she was singing her heart out and reciting prayers over the people. It still remains a lifelong blessing for my family, of now which my wife and I have been given three children. I attribute a lot of the core of our foundation to Patti. May she be blessed eternally in body and spirit. Amen. I love you, Patti.
What a beautiful, refreshing, honest and naturally likable woman! I've never heard Patti interviewed before, she's amazing...
Not a big fan of Patti Smith, nor punk rock but she is a great person! We still love her! She can bring out the humanity in us all! We do love "Because The Night" and "Dancing Barefoot" though! Those two tracks are always up there in me and my wifes favorites!
Her soul is PERFECT. .... It's more important than ever that we recognize and listen to The Saints who walk among us. ...
Great interview, she's such a treasure!
I strongly admire people who don’t conform to societal ideas. Patti
is one of a kind. Long live Patty ❤
Haven’t heard Patti Smith in so long. I remember back when she was young, falling off stage on her head and the band kept playing. That has stuck in my mind all these years later.👍
😂. That’s great.
What a beautiful soul.
I saw Patti Smith in 1978...she was absolutely wild and I have loved her ever since. But
I saw Patti Smith at Winterland, San Francisco, about 1978. We were both much younger then. It was an exciting period for rock’n’roll.
Patti Smith is a legend, a living legend. point.
And when she stops when singing a Bob Dylan's song, this is just 2 legends colliding, and melting when she continue. It's historic and not a flaw.
Incredible interview where interviewers let her totally express herself. Kudos guys, you know how to interview a Living Legend!
I've owned Horses on five different mediums and it still rocks and I still find her attractive inside and out
I saw that moment in Stockholm and I thought it was a beautiful moment - how she handled it, so graciously and humbly. It was great. No perfection, just humanity on display - kind, caring and honest.
When I first started listening to Patti, when I was about 13, I loved everything about her sound, but I expected her to be so abrasive and perhaps even rude. I'm 40 now, and every time I have seen her speak, she has come across as one of the warmest, most vibrant spirits I have ever experienced. She is always so raw, so vulnerable, but with unmeasurable strength.
A few years ago I read Just Kids, and also watched a documentary about her (it was wonderful, but the title escapes me at the moment). I'd adored Patti to the point of worship since I first heard her in about 1979, but then I found myself a little turned off by what I thought of as some name-dropping and her excitement about some expensive little designer piece of clothing she'd gotten. And then I realized that THAT is the beauty of Patti--she doesn't give a rat's ass about what I or anyone else think of what she does and how she looks and how she lives her life. If I think that I'm just so cool that I can have disdain for her Comme des Garcons outfit--that I think she's "selling out" because one day she doesn't feel like wearing a ratty tee shirt and jeans--that's just too freaking bad. She is exactly who she is, all the time, as far as I can tell. Who else can you say is so utterly true to herself? She will always be a role model for me in that way (and I LOVE her music!).
+Nancy Bevilaqua........You're an idiot.
She does what she wants and she's sort of filmic. Plus like you see in her books, (like the part when they were always going to Max's Kansas City), she and Robert got into what I see as non-egotistical self-promotion (dressing and looking a certain way) because they knew they had to get publicity for their art, which they knew was powerful and would change the world.
If this world could use anything right now, it's a big ole honkin' dose of Patti Smith. Love her more every time I see her.
Thanks. Her mother used to wait on me at the luncheonette in Woodbury Heights. Very nice lady.
i just wanna retire and be like her next door neighbor and every morning we smoke a joint and drink earl grey tea
I love that vision. I hope you achieve it, Jarrod.
ME TOO!!!!
@@catherinehart3775 I can't get my hands on some dope to smoke. I think it would help with my arthritis etc. Apart from that I love to sing alone in my home, and it always makes me feel better.
Amen. Cool, older people who have lived have awesome insight. Getting blazed with 'em would make it just a bit more cozy. I'll bring the coffee. Tea aint my thing. Yes, I invited myself.
@@bradagee9041 Orange Pekoe Tea is sheer delight. I'd get you some to go with your smoke, then later the Coffee you request. I make a great Clementine Cake A la Nigella Lawson. I wish I'd been able to get something to puff puff. Anyone? It's my birthday soon and what a gift to receive. I would pay. Oh ! Dear.
The interviewer is remarkable. He is kind, humble, and genuinely interested in his guests. Thank you for sharing this. Beautiful story, interview and performance.
Thank you so much for that, we appreciate it!

i would feel safe asking her anything, she seems so sweet and kind and so approachable really, after reading her book i feel like I know her
I remember the first time I heard Patti Smith's voice. I was driving home from work and she came on the radio. I literally started to cry.
This woman talks with so much passion that the words she speaks make my heart burst
I adore seeing and re-seeing her performance in the Nobel
What a wonderful interview!!! Love you Patti!!!!
What a beautiful interview. Thanks for uploading.
Years ago
If you wrote to her
Her sister always wrote the fans back
Many years ago my friend David wrote to her a couple times and her mother Beverly Smith responded.
@@Rose-qd2bl I've got letters from her mom and once spoke to her mom on the phone.
She is on Instagram and usually likes/responds to most of the fan comments. And always wishes a happy birthday to the ones that ask for it. She is so genuinely warm it melts my heart.
When I wrote to her, her mother actually wrote back. That was quite a few years ago and until I read this, I had actually forgotten that letter . I love her work so much. She's all grace and passion.
One of my favourite artists definitely. Her concert in Melbourne April was amazing.
Wow, what an amazing interview for such a special and strong person! And I love this channel and other interviews done. Thanks you Skavlan!
