Our Take

Patti Smith, the OG punk priestess, graced the legendary CBGB's stage in 1979 with a performance that left the crowd begging for more. The energy in the room was electric, as Smith's raw, powerful vocals cut through the haze of cigarette smoke and spilled beer. From the moment she stepped on stage, Smith commanded attention with her signature blend of poetry and punk rock. It was as if she was channeling the spirit of the New York City streets, spitting out lyrics that were equal parts defiant and vulnerable. The setlist was a mix of old favorites and new material, each song delivered with a sense of urgency that was impossible to ignore. Tracks like "Gloria" and "Because the Night" had the crowd singing along, while newer songs like "Dancing Barefoot" showcased Smith's continued evolution as an artist. But perhaps the most memorable moment of the night came when Smith launched into an impromptu cover of The Velvet Underground's "Rock and Roll." The crowd went wild, feeding off Smith's infectious energy and enthusiasm. Overall, Patti Smith's performance at CBGB's in 1979 was a masterclass in punk rock attitude and artistry. It's no wonder she's considered a living legend in the music industry – and this album is a testament to her enduring talent.
