Patti Smith

[Justiceforcedave]

It was when she shouted "This one's for life!"

[eFestivals]

Slightly embarrassing story.  We nearly got run over on the to the pyramid by a fleet of exec range rovers which we moaned about elitist VIP's, why can't they walk like the rest of etc. etc.

 

spg (poster on here) was nearly run over by them earlier, when they'd been on the way to the stone circle.

[bellboy]

I was fully expecting a Horses set.  That's what they are currently touring with, that's what they are geared up for etc.  she walks on stage, I expect the classic slow Gloria intro and ..... bang straight into Privilege.  It was then a case of what's going to happen next!    And playing with a sore throat too!!

[CaledonianGonzo]

We saw them driving down through West Holts just before Ibibio Sound Machine. At that point noone had twigged that he was in the back car so I gave him a big wave and got one back and a big grin in return

....I only own Horses but would very much like to get some more records. Can you guys make some recommendations please?

I've been wanting to see Patti Smith for a good 10 years now. It was everything I expected her to be. Very moving and full of energy. Her voice is still incredible!

yeah she needn't complain about having a sore throat or her voice going or whatever it was - she really sounded great. and to think i almost decided to not see her because my back was giving up on me / i'd already seen her at Primavera. i would've been so pissed with myself

[brendan84]

One of the highlights. Would have been one of the best sets of the weekend but to bring out dalai lama made it an all time Glastonbury moment.

Loved how she stacked it cos she is a fucking animal!!!

Depends a bit on which tracks you like best on Horses.  if it's the more far out stuff, you might like Radio Ethiopia (Pissing in a River is from that one) or Peace and Noise. If it's the more melodic bits, I'd suggest Easter or maybe Wave.

 

Gone Again is also very good, full of mourning, but includes Beneath the Southern Cross.

 

I must have seen Patti live about 10 times over the last 16 years (Glastonbury '99 being my first encounter), she really was hoarse this time - but it suits her.

Always has a great rapport with her audience.

The Dalai Llama coming on stage had me in tears

Tell me about it, i was barely holding them back and just give up in the end!!

[shoptildrop]

Well that was phenomenal.

 

The contrast between her set and Lionel's slick, plastic set couldn't be greater.

TBH I think the combination of the 2 sets made it for me for the w/end it was a great Sunday afternoon

[MichaelsBeard]

Amazing. Set of the weekend.

[mungo57]

gutted now as I just went to get tix for the horses shows in October and they are both sold out!

At least I saw her at Glastonbury though, its all good

[The Nal]

A lot of the set on the iplayer. 

 

*spine shivers for all of it*

[Justiceforcedave]

I want all of it! Any ideas where one might find a sneaky bootleg that has the missing footage?

[The Nal]

"Yeah I fell on my fucking ass at Glastonbury but you know why? BECAUSE I'M A FUCKING ANIMAL THATS WHY!!"

 

Will live with me forever.

Dude, me too man. me too..

 

Edit, would love to see / read an interview with her after, to see what she thought, coz it looked like she was buzzing, as buzzing as I was with it all.

 

"I dont give a fuck what anybody thinks, we're gonna change the fucking world"

These words will stay with me forever, thinking of getting them written out and framed for my wall:

 

 

People raise your arms

Feel who you are

Remember who you are

Without technology

Without governments

Without anything fettering your freedom

Feel your blood

Feel your creativity

Feel your mind

Feel your hearts

Feel your freedom

WE'RE ALIVE

Cross over brothers

Cross over sisters

Cross over

The simplicity of "Thank you Glastonbury, I had a great time" is all you need to know really!

[Winslow Leach]

It's a little known fact, but the sound of that final guitar string snapping caused James Bay to crumble into a small heap of dust.

[Earthwindandfire2205]

Must be honest I had never heard of her before seeing her but OMG how good was she. Set was everything a set at Glastonbury should be . Was truly amazing

[CaledonianGonzo]

As we walked to see the Smithstress we had to navigate through the huge, huge crowds of people leaving the Pyramid Arena after watching that Hozier that they have these days......the walkways were busier than at any other point that weekend.

Who does that? I mean, I can't even....

There are no words. But they were rewarded by missing the dalai lama guesting on the set of the festival so...
