Our Take

Patti Smith's live performance in Washington D.C. in '76 is a whirlwind of raw energy and poetic brilliance that will leave you breathless and begging for more. The legendary punk poetess delivers a masterclass in charismatic stage presence, effortlessly commanding the attention of every soul in the room with her hypnotic vocals and politically charged lyrics.

From the moment Smith takes to the stage, clad in her signature all-black ensemble and with her unruly mane of hair flying in all directions, it's clear that this is no ordinary gig. The band kicks into high gear, with Lenny Kaye's electrifying guitar riffs and Jay Dee Daugherty's thunderous drumming providing the perfect backdrop for Smith's impassioned delivery.

Highlights of the evening include spine-tingling renditions of "Gloria" and "Land", as well as a hauntingly beautiful cover of The Who's "My Generation". Smith's poetic interludes between songs are equal parts insightful and amusing, showcasing her wit and wisdom in equal measure.

Overall, Patti Smith Live in Washington D.C. '76 is a must-listen for fans of punk rock, poetry, or just good music in general. Smith's performance is nothing short of spellbinding, and this album captures the essence of a true musical icon at the height of her powers. Raise your fists in solidarity and let the music wash over you – you won't regret it.

About the artist

Patti Smith

Patti Smith, the legendary rocker known for her revolutionary spirit and poetic lyrics, has been shaking up the music scene for over four decades. With her unique blend of punk, poetry, and rock 'n' roll, Smith has cemented her place as one of the most influential artists in the industry. Born in Chicago in 1946, Smith moved to New York City in the early 1970s and quickly became a fixture in the downtown music scene. With her band The Patti Smith Group, she released her debut album "Horses" in 1975, which is still regarded as a classic today. With songs like "Gloria" and "Land of a Thousand Dances," Smith's raw, unapologetic energy captivated audiences and critics alike. But Smith is not just a musician—she is also an accomplished poet, writer, and visual artist. Her memoir "Just Kids," which chronicles her relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2010. And her photography and visual art have been exhibited in galleries around the world. Despite her many accolades and accomplishments, Smith remains humble and down-to-earth. She continues to perform live, enchanting audiences with her powerful vocals and electric stage presence. With her trademark mix of punk attitude and poetic sensibility, Patti Smith is a true icon of the music world and a force to be reckoned with.
