ppl have gotten most of the set.....i was sick yesterday so i didn't get a chance to look for the list but i'll try to fill any missing ones tomorrow...and for the order ......wrote it down. Wing was the one the I didn't know the name of, but recognized it.
on 11/22
I do know she also played ...peaceable kingdom {latest-- lovely almost lullabyish}
I'd recomend either Horses or Radio Eithiopia {2nd one} to start early stuff, then Easter or Wave
her comeback album Dream of Life is one of my later favs......
Tramping {latest} is mostly good to very good.. i only heard parts of it once.
I paid to see her Live last year to hear some of the new stuff/ older favs - is how i heard a lot of it....but then alot of my extra money went to saving up for U2 tour. So i hope to get it when i've paid off some of my u2 debt. :laugh;
glad you liked her!

I am still sad that I didn't have tixs for either of those concerts. To think I could have saved one of my u2.com codes for a chance to see u2 and Patti together. Not in my wildest dreams would I have ever guessed she'd play with them...who knew... It is a crying shame! I shouldn't have posted as now

sorry

It’s funny, I knew the name Patti Smith, I knew the legend about Patti Smith and the early days of punk in New York, but I didn’t know anything about her songs (save Dancing Barefoot and Because The Night) I’ve described her show elsewhere on these boards like watching a dangerous, caged animal with a certain kind of beauty to it, prowl the stage.
What was amazing to me was to see how much R.E.M. and U2 came from Patti. A couple of times I saw Bono from the Rattle & Hum movie, heard some of Edge’s guitar deliveries, and heard Michael Stipe’s phrasing and delivery.
Hate to get all geeky like this but…she is truly an original of the species!

aawwwwwwwwwww Val,
I was
when I heard the annoucement.....i always hoped tthat they might have had her & band on some date b/c of how much she among a few others Bono mentions on stage, interviews etc ESP when theie in the NYC area.I didn't know about the time B said something about her that she hated....so ppl then dismissed the combo as ever happening.
I hope I'll find her performance somewhere on line.
thanks for the hug...and if you ever do locate her performance.... please don't hesitate to give me a shout.

ps I love what Rafiennes said...she is truly an Original of the Species.

I was at the amazin msg nov 21 show and for me it was an absolute privliege to be in the presence of such a legend….being old enough to have gotten into patti before u2 even came along, she has been one of my idols for 28 years now……but having only see her play live on 2 occasions in the past, part of the reason I went to the nyc show was to see her, and she didn't disappoint.....she can still kick it as she nears 60, and is still as righteously angry as she was in the 70s……. and to have tom verlaine in the band was just an extra amazin bonus! as far as i recall in the dec 00 irving plaza show bono namechecked both patti & tom as major influences,,,,(and of course mentioned them again in msg on nov 21)
After patti’s set, a girl sitting behind me suggested that judging by my reaction to patti i had already gotten my money's worth for the night, and she was not far wrong...she told me herself that she had only gone to msg to see patti as she wasn't a u2 fan!,
the sad thing for me was that so many u2 fans missed this rock n'roll legend, and were either in the bar or hadn't arrived in msg)
…I also couldn’t believe how muted the reaction of those in the ellipse was, hardly anybody really getting into it…nor how they reacted to her iraq references…..
by the time u2 came on that night i was just riding such a high wave that i though they might let me down, but of course, as has been said elsewhere, they were also amazing ….i’d say easily one of the best of the 10 V shows i've been privileged to catch.
and to then see patti &u2 do 'instant karma' together was truly icing on the cake (earlier that day I’d gone up to strawberry fields and listened to lennon so it was a perfect end to a perfect day,!)
now if only somebody has a recording of patti’s set (and instant karma)????????
its 30 years since her extraordinary debut album, ‘horses’, and I would urge anybody who hasn’t heard that masterwork to get it as soon as possible and to give it a good listen, you will be amply rewarded by it’s power, rebellion, poetry, mystic energy, and damn fine r’n’r….its staggering to think that both "horses" and bruce's "born to run" are now 30 years old, and that both were released within a short time of each other in 1975……columbia rereleased "horses" with deluxe packaging that i suggest is really worth checkin out immediately.! .........but equally her more recent material, such as trampin show that, unlike many artists that have been going on the go a long time. patti she doesn't trade on her reputation.....the more screwed up the world gets the more we need artists like patti instead of the sanitised clear channel led b’shit we seem to be getting forcefed these days,…..
rock on patti, may you stay forever young!.......................bacedge
“suffer not your neighbours paralysis, but extend your hand…….”
ps: listenin’ to patti & u2 on random as a write and just played a great version of mysterious ways from copenhagen 01 with a bit of 'sexual healing' thrown in!
