Patti Smith in Cleveland

[Ammagamalin Crew]

Just got back from her show at the state theatre here in Cleveland. She played the album Horses, incredible, then dancing barefoot, Kimberly, some new tunes, pissing in the river, because the night, people have the power, then encored hard with My Generation, breaking all of her guitar strings, feedback, then admitted she was fucking worn out. She's an energy powerhouse. Got us all up dancing, she plays Pittsburgh tomorrow, then one show in LA in April, then she's gone to Australia, Germany, and Europe until late August. Someone through a Jerry Garcia shirt on stage for her so she told the story of opening once for the dead , she thinks in Amherst in 1973, and she went behind a trailer to change into a rasta shirt when Jerry was back there taking a piss. She had no trailer, so he got 5 hells Angels to get her a trailer. She rambled more about JG.
