This is one of Patti's finest interpretations of a classic, and she EXCELLED at interpreting classics - not merely interpreting them, but searching through them, one might say, for layers of subtlety and meaning no one but Patti could have found.This, as well as her version of Van Morrison's version of Gloria, are two of the songs in which she just hits you in the face with genuine poetry. Patti knows how the real poetry is in the feelings these songs, humble as they may be, evoke in those who love them. Feelings listeners themselves can't clearly comprehend or explain. Poetry that often will fly past and elude past more "important".i.e. more 'famous' artists in other musical forms. This isn't to say Patti is not cognizant and appreciative of such forms as symphonic music. She helped draw attention to Detroit's wonderful Orchestra Hall when it was going through rough times. I saw Patti for the first time at Detroit's Masonic Hall with a band that included Fred Smith, then still with the MC5, I believe. No. The Five had split by then, but Fred Sonic Smith and Patti had met, fallen in love and they were the TRUE royalty of REAL rock 'n roll, not any mock King and Queen of RnR, but the genuine article. Not great media idols, but instead half obscure, but anyone who was a REAL rocker knew who Patti and Fred Smith were. Genuine poets, Fred's compositions like Over and Over (with the Five) and City Slang (one of the greatest r n' r songs ever composed. Their identical last names were coincidental - Patti didn't take "Sonic"'s name. Unless maybe she did!!! Only PS knows.
I love that her shirt says FUCK THE CLOCK. We run ourselves ragged trying to do everything "on time," trying to "make good time," hurry up and wait, and it's the same 24 hour cycle every day. While we're wondering whether it's "too late" or "too early" life just passes by...life is more than time, time is an illusion after all. All we have is right here, right now - and to truly live, we need to make the most of it. This is why I love Patti, and why she is truly timeless. She lives "outside of society" and says "fuck the clock," and that's why she is FREE.
I'm freaking out about not feeling ready for children yet, and the lovely biological clock you have as a woman. On the way out of a 14 year relationship, and I'm saving up to have some of my eggs frozen. Fuck the clock.
ADRIENNE I TRULY BELIEVE WHAT YOUVE SAID HITS IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD. MY PATTI ( I've always called her that) lol I found at the age of 13yrs old. i was a gay misfit that lived in a very biased area in the Little Italy of the Bronx. When a friend asked to listen to LAND : OF A THOUSAND DANCES. When she spoke that first sentence, maybe im crazy but it was a divine intervention in my life. I sat there for almost 10minutes in complete awe. Her words went through my soul. and well the rest is history. I'm now 54 and my friends are like" havent you gotten tired of her at all? You listen to her still like its the first time youve ever heard her". ABSOLUTELY NOT I TRULY DREAD THE DAY SHE RETURNS HOME TO FRED & HER BROTHER ( who when he was head of her crew) i would go down to CBGB'S and drool over him. lol yes im gay. But i knew better than to bother someone that wasnt. I HAVE 2 PATTI'S IN MY LIFE. MY DEAR BABY SISTER THAT DIED ON FRIDAY THE 13TH 2014. AND PATTI SMITH & I THANK GOD THEY ARE BOTH PART OF MY LIFE
Patti at the George, WA... in the screaming rain, smoking hot ,and so wet. Breathing fire and breath, giving us heart and soul, never to regret the Horse writer.

i still love you Patti. Its been many years since we last wrote each other. Just want you to know that you were my idol when I was 17 and you are my idol now at 6o years of age. And thanks to you I had a music career for many year and still going strong. Lv U/
Wow to...and again thats why I live more than 4 to 6, 8 or 10 hours listening to music on d tube!!! Allways cames a long someone like, Patti!!...Thks Sara...

Wow. Patti Smith has the ability to inject herself into the listener's bloodstream. It's visceral. Ever since I listened to the 'Horses' album when I was at Uni in the late '70's it's been the same. This 'Hey Joe' version obviously has stylistic references to that great 'Horses' track which is pleasing as I know she's not stuck in a groove. Patti's poetry and music has evolved but essentially has that same edginess that gave me goosebumps when I was young and still does now that I'm an old fart. Love it.
amen brother i first heard Horses when i was 12 im now 57 and i still feel like its always the first time. Patti can do no wrong. IN MY EYES AT LEAST. SHE SAVED MY LIFE WITH SEVEN WAYS OF GOING. THANK YOU, PATTI
beauty and brains, hey, my mate was her husband, Fred Sonic Smith, we used to work in the MC5, maybe you heard of that, , but patti is an artist, she even kind of defines the term. Just so happy that youtubers like our old music, rock on
One of the few still performing that knows the "Spirit" of music intimately, like many others such as Billie Holiday, Jimi and Janis, Iggy, Monk, Parker, The Ramones etc etc. Those who've felt know it and know something very special. I've had moments depending on who I was playing with, but Patti has it in spades and instead of waning as she ages it has only gotten stronger, more focused perhaps less confined by ego and youthful blindness. All I know is this version haunts me with its beauty and strength.
And on utterly diffrentent subject {Sort Of} I'm really getting tiered of RU-vidGoogle+ equally HORRIBLE inability to correctly post our comments that I double check for accuracy, yet after posting more offten than not it looks as if its been run through their clunky language translation software !!! Is really that difficult to❓ Come Google, caugh up some of those insane profits for an infrastructure Upgrade instead of buying out more small developer's ingenuity only to degrade its functionality... Its past annoying. It's pathetic‼️ Get it together theres more to life than profits Google Heads 🤖
I think Billy Roberts wrote this song but I hear Hendrix do it first. Strange to hear it with piano up front. Patti Smith is an amazing performer. I love her
Honey, the way you play guitar makes me feel so Makes me feel so masochistic The way you go down low deep into the neck And I would do anything, and I would do anything and Patty Hearst You're standing there in front of the Symbionese Liberation army flag with your legs spread I was wondering will you get it every night From a black revolutionary man and his women or whether you really did And now that you're on the run what goes on in your mind Your sisters they sit by the window You know your mama doesn't sit and cry and your daddy Well you know what your daddy said Patty, you know what your daddy said Patty, he said, he said, he said Well, sixty days ago she was such a lovely child Now here she is with a gun in her hand Hey Joe, hey Joe, where're you going with that gun in your hand? Hey Joe, I said where're you goin' with that gun in your hand? I'm gonna go shoot my ol' lady You know I found her messin' around town with another man And you know that ain't cool, watch me Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down You shot her down to the ground, you shot her Yes I did, yes I did, yes I did, I shot her, I shot her I caught her messin' round with some other man So I got on my truck, I gave her the gun and I shot her I shot her, shoot her one more time for me Hey Joe, where you gonna, where you gonna run to? Where you gonna run to, Joe, where you gonna run to ? Go get a cover, I'm gonna go down south I'm gonna go down south to Mexico I'm going down, down, down to Mexico where a man can be free No one's gonna put a noose around my neck No one is gonna give me life, no I'm goin' down to Mexico, I'm going down You're not going to hear 'em stand there And look at the stars as big as holes in the arms And the stars like a back truck electric flag And I'm standing there under that flag with your carbine Between my legs, you know, I felt so free of death beyond me I felt so free, the F.B.I. is looking for me baby But they'll never find me, no, they can hold me down like a And I'm still on the run and they can speculate what I'm free But daddy, daddy, you'll never know just what I was feelin' But I'm sorry, I am no little pretty little rich girl I am nobody's million dollar baby, I am nobody's patsy anymore I'm nobody's million dollar baby, I'm nobody's patsy anymore And I feel so free
It's music people. If it has something meaningful to say (through word or sound) and it connects with something enduring in the human experience it doesn't matter when it was produced. Please stop making these inane ridiculous comments. You are growing up listening to her music.
...On her Tshirt you can read F*** the Clock ...so true ! I never thought I would have seen her in concert ...that was 10 days ago, in a church in Bton, tickets were sold out and I only knew about it 2 hours before !! What's more ...I didn't have to pay, easy ! Which goes to prove that we can always find a way...
I think what you're saying you would have enjoyed the incredibly creative and heartfelt musical experience of that time. I live through it and it was awesome. What we do have to day, though, are these snippets and reminders which can recreate that atmosphere for you.
Here, Patti, is covering *Hey Joe*, in part, but, in reality, it takes on a different intro story, where she talks about Patty Hearst (who staged her own kidnapping many years ago), in quite a *brutal manner*, typical of Patti Smith's straightforward attitude... Her voice and performance is quite hypnotizing and grabs your soul and heart right at the core, as you ask for more. LPM
who are these people who always claim "I'm ** years old and I love *****!" He cares. It's music people. If it has something meaningful to say (through word or sound) and it connects with something enduring in the human experience it doesn't matter when it was produced. Please stop making these inane ridiculous comments. You are growing up listening to her music.
B there or B □ ! Uh-oh, scheduling conflict: Annie Clark St. Jerome's Laneway Festival The Meadow, Gardens By The Bay, சிங்கப்பூர் குடியரசு [Singapore] Sat, 24 Jan 2015 Decision, decisions.
Patti is amazing, beautiful and can bring me to tears in a heartbeat, fucking amazing is an understatement. She does a lot of covers but holy shit, she can bring them to a new level vocally, fucking awesome. Listen to Everybody Hurts. I don't know if it helps me but once again, holy shit!!!
I bought this mail order right when it came out and had broadsides of poetry by her, signed, with Mapplethorpe photos, but my second ex-husband kept all my autographed collectibles. This was a time many today could not grasp. There really was "no future" in the Rust Belt. Many Americans were medically malnourished. I couldn't get a job and my last paycheck in Ohio as a parts clerk bounced. So ... I went to NYC. Patti was very nice and accessible.
yeah you can listen to what ever you want, but growing at that times is different. you can listen the legends but you cant live the society they used to live in, times were different you know, that s what people wish for, i am 16 and i wish i was 16 in 70's.
OULA Patti Smith vous etes énorme car passer derriére J.Hendrix Led Zeppelin, A.Baschung en dégageant une telle sensibilité,je dis RESPECT !!!!!!!!!!!!! Est cela la Poésie?Pouvoir jongler avec les mots
i have always liked her and her music...she is one talented ass lady.....if any of you have ever heard her " Easter" album all the way through with lots of wine and pot you will know what i mean.....!
I wasn't there, I'm 28 so it was a good 8 years before I was born...but there was/is just something about it, that early empowerment of "Jesus died for somebody's sins...but not mine". The building power to the track "Land", it's just magical. If the "Horses" Album didn't appeal to you I would suggest "Easter".
Lots of them are from parents who escaped over from former Yugoslavia to Italy around WWII. I studied in Italy and my friend Roberto in Livorno, his late father Andrej got out with a pal in a rowboat, they lied to a Nazi in Croatia and rowed across! They changed the name to sound more Italian, however. The mother was born in Abyssinia in the '30s, wild, huh? She is fully Italian. That is such a trip. I love Italy.
Lieve Patti ik mij mijn wouter leven overal waar je ze niet verwacht zijn we zonder dat weten waar we zijn onze liefde is zo groot vooral in het zijn van dimensies zo als jij nu hier zou kunnen zijn uit de kracht van je liefde zo als ik meer dan 130 kinderen heb blijf ik iin afzondering van mijn wezen en mijn zijn zal er liefde zijn in de pijn van het lijden op Kerstmis weer gboren zijn de dag na pasen zal ik stijgen sta ik op verlangd dat ik eens de omhelzing van mijn levenzijnin de zoen van stilt in de eeuwigheid ddakje wel wouter joannes
+GeorgenotSmith There were nearly a dozen recordings before Hendrix recorded this. It was performed as early as 1956. The Leaves' 1966 recording is the only one to hit the Top 40 charts.
The only thing that made me feel masochistic about 'him" playing guitar was staying home with our baby, holding down a full time job while he was on the road chasing a dream. And when he came off the road, I only wished he was gone again.
wow i haven't heard this in years. what a voice. what a powerful song. love the spoken intro so much. outrageous. it's not the original though is it? sounds so differant to the 12 inch i had.
I can picture Jimi swaying his head back and forth with a joint in his left hand and a big fucking grin on his face feeling mad love, crazy love, big love.
