Patti on Seven Ages of Rock BBC2



For those of us in the UK or anyone who can get BBC2 via satellite, there are
some clips of Patti (probably from the Old Grey Whistle Test I think) on TV
tomorrow:-

Seven Ages of Rock - BBC2 Saturday 2 June '07 at 21:00

A journey through the history of rock music. It's 1975, and rock gets shock
treatment on both sides of the Atlantic with the advent of punk. From New York
came punk poets like Patti Smith and Richard Hell, and the stripped-back sound
of the Ramones. From London came the sneer and swagger of the Sex Pistols, the
political punk of the Clash and the outrageous all-girl band Slits. Punk took
rock back to basics as young musicians took control to create a new kind of
music with passion and fury.

Also can anyone help me, I've been downloading Patti's gig from the Bowery
Ballroom NYE 2005 from the piratebay, but my computer crashed at 61% complete
and i haven't been able to get the torrent going again! Is there anyone there
that can seed it for me please?

Cheers,

Carol (UK)
