Patti Smith was one of the key artists in the breakthrough of New York City punk rock with her 1975 debut album Horses being hugely influential on the whole New Wave genre. Her distinctive blend of rock, punk and poetry combined with her uncompromising style has ensured that she has remained a credible artist throughout her career. This concert at Montreux from 2005 was part of the tour in support of her 2004 album Trampin and the setlist features tracks from her first album right through to that release. Patti Smith remains a vibrant live performer and this first ever live concert DVD is a long overdue treat for all her fans. / Line-Up:
Along with Patti Smith on vocals, guitar and clarinet, the band line-up includes original Patti Smith Group members Lenny Kaye (guitar & vocals) and Jay Dee Daugherty (drums), Tom Verlaine of Television on guitars and long standing band member Tony Shanahan on bass, keyboards and vocals. / Track Listing - 1) Redondo Beach 2) Beneath The Southern Cross 3) Dancing Barefoot 4) Free Money 5) Ain't It Strange 6) 25th Floor 7) Like A Rolling Stone 8) 7 Ways Of Going 9) Peaceable Kingdom 10) Because The Night 11) Not Fade Away / Memento Mori 12) People Have The Power

I liiiike it!

Wonder if there will be a corresponding CD release... they've done that with some of the Montreux titles.

if they dont i'll make my own. did that for the talk talk.

Great to finally get an official live DVD of Patti, but disappointed that it's only a partial performance.

I just saw her perform before 20,000 people in Golden Gate Park this past Sunday. She only played
for 55 minutes but her set included R'N'R' Nigger, Gloria and Because The Night. Definitely as intense
as ever.......
