Just got back from getting my PattiSmith fix for the year.  
       1. Seattle    2.  Portland   3. Santa Cruz

Seattles Showbox was the best of the three for me.  It ranks as the 
best Patti performance I have seen next to the La Zona Rosa (2004).
Patti's energy and The Bands performance was just plain "Far-Out Man".
The Showbox has a great set up and the Stage is low and a person can 
just see and hear everything.  She played 18 songs and just blew 
everybody out.  She was soaking wet at the end and all the crowd was 
drained.  It was a total unison of Patti and Crowd.
The year aint over yet, and The Bowery still looms out there at years 
end.  Might go.
Seattle:
Patti entered the stage wearing her denims, cowboy boots, black suit 
jacket and worn t-shirt.  As the show progressed she took off the jacket
and revealed that she was quite bra-less under the t-shirt.  She was so 
hot and sweaty she was fanning the t-shirt for air and giving us folks 
up front a rare nude shot of her upper torso.  Patti is a beautiful 
woman and showed us her beauty.  Amazing !!! and unforgettable.  There 
was another song, I think Teen Spirit, that she demanded only back 
lighting be on and the lights shown thru her shirt also revealing her 
silhouette.  Truly sexy and exhilerating.  The crowd was going crazy, 
and Patti matched the energy and it went higher and higher to a point 
of a 5 song encore.  Patti is just fantastic live and it seems that we 
cannot get enough of her.  After three concerts I could still go for 
three more, and three more after that.  I am sure most other fans feel 
the same.  She seems to be at a high point in her career and we all 
just love it.  Right on Patti, we support you and your Band.
