Tony Shanahan, who plays with Patti Smith on Banga,
backed her up on guitar and piano.
A vision.
My hands and mouth and ears and eyes were surging with a force to find expression as I left the Paramount the other night. Patti Smith's down-to-earth and brilliant performance made me want to make something. She read from Just Kids in between songs, and somehow managed to pick out the passages that touched me the most when I read it. Her humor and smile and light were mesmerizing. Her voice was the rock and the river. And, she spit on stage, like the Queen of Punk can and should.
