DELUXE VINYL EDITION!!!
Patti Smith - CBGB's 1979 - The Classic New York Broadcast Vol. 1
This recording, made in 1979, after the release of the Todd Rundgren produced "Wave" album, is a classic CBGB performance long after Patti Smith's career had exploded to the point where she was filling 5,000 auditoriums.
Because it was a radio broadcast for the King Biscuit Flower Hour, and because they had returned to their punk roots at CBGB, Patti and the band play a very loose set filled with covers like John Lennon's ‘Cold Turkey’, the Yardbird's ‘For Your Love’ and The Who classic, ‘My Generation’.
This two-instalment set now features this quite extraordinary gig in its entirety for the first time on vinyl.
SIDE A:1. Revenge 6:14 / 2. Frederick 7:04 / 3. Seven Ways Of Going 7:18
SIDE B:4. Poppies 8:39 / 5. All Along The Watchtower 4:11 / 6. Spider And Fly 3:43
SIDE C:7. So You Want To Be A Rock ’N’ Roll Star 12:00
