MICHAEL ON PATTI
I went and saw patti smith perform at BAM [the brooklyn academy of
music] on Wednesday, nov.30th. The show was landmark, even for her;
she has been on fire lately, her performances confident, strong,
ecstatic. The show celebrated the 30 year anniversary of the release
of horses, and they played the entire album in sequence for the first
set. The band consisted of j.d.daugherty and lenny kaye, founding
members of the patti smith group; tony shanahan on piano and keys,
flea [of rhcp] on bass, and tom verlaine [of television] on guitar.
Having flea on bass through most of the evening [he was magnificent,
like a barely contained, super elegant tasmanian devil---who else
could fit that description?] left supermusican tony shanahan free to
interpret on piano and keys, a crucial element in many of patti's
earlier compositions. It added a brilliant grounding to the horses
material and a new depth and illumination to the recent songs.
