Audio: Patti Smith Live at San Francisco’s Boarding House – Feb. 15, 1976

The Boarding House was a club in downtown San Francisco that held about 500 people. The sound was great. It was probably the best club I’ve been in to see live music.

Patti Smith and her band were there on February 15, 1976, less than two months after Horses was released.

It’s an amazing show, and lucky for you and me, it got recorded. Patti Smith is still amazing, but this show (and others from ’75 and ’76, are exceptional.

The Time Machine: Patti Smith Performs “Seven Ways Of Going,” “Gloria”

This is a beautiful performance by Patti Smith and her original band at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, New Jersey, 1979. You really get a sense of the mystery of Smith’s ’70s performances. They were other worldly. I was lucky enough to see her at the Boarding House in San Francisco and at the Longbranch in Berkeley in 1975.

Check out “Gloria” too:
