An iconic and celebrated artist whose cultural standing in America remains resolute and heavily influential. The Patti Smith Group headed out on their first US tour to promote the release of their debut album Horses, produced by John Cale and released in November 1975. They then released their Radio Ethiopia album a year later and toured to support its release in 1977. An amazing performance by a great artist. Pink color vinyl.

Patti Smith live from CBGB, New York, NY August 11th, 1979. Few women in rock have had as enormous an impact and influence as Patti Smith. Smith was part of the early New York punk scene in 1975 with regular shows at the CBGB club between 1974 and 1976. A major record deal in 1975 took her far and wide across America, but she returns with a no holds barred performance, on August 11th, 1979, long after her career had exploded to the point where she was selling out 5,000-seater auditoriums.

"She'd been a New Yorker since moving to the city in 1967, aged 21. She had a child that she gave up for adoption, met and started a relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe -- with whom she shared a room at the infamous Chelsea Hotel for some time -- and she discovered the work of French symbolist poet Arthur Rimbaud. She appeared in Warhol superstar Jackie Curtis's play Femme Fatale with Wayne County, and -- for one night only -- in Cowboy Mouth which she co-wrote with Sam Shepherd. She was considered for the role of lead vocalist in Blue Öyster Cult, but instead contributed lyrics to many of the band's songs, and she started a relationship with BOC keyboardist, Alan Lanier. She contributed articles to rock journals Rolling Stone and Creem. By 1974 she was performing rock music herself, initially with guitarist, bassist and rock archivist Lenny Kaye, and later with a full band comprising Kaye, Ivan Kral on guitar and bass, Jay Dee Daugherty on drums and Richard Sohl on piano. The group released the self-financed single 'Hey Joe'/'Piss Factory' the same year and in 1975 recorded their debut album Horses for the label to which they were by then signed, Arista; the album was released in December '75 to near unanimous high praise. Two months later, on February 15th 1976, the group played at the Boarding House in San Francisco -- a performance which was broadcast live on FM radio. This album captures this concert in its entirety and illustrates perfectly the strange power of this pioneering band and its dynamic, talented and foresighted lead singer and main songwriter. 1976 was also the year that the United States of America celebrated 200 years of independence from the British Empire, a celebration that culminated on July 4th -- the date in 1776 on which the Declaration of Independence was adopted. Whether or not this event had any impact or bearing on Patti Smith is not recorded."
