Description

Performed at the intimate Cellar Door club in Washington, DC, for the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio series, Smith comes bouncing onstage like Muhammad Ali, jumping up and down on the spot, punchy and laughing while Lenny Kaye adopts the New York strut; legs wide apart, guitar slung low. Mic in hand, she grabs the audience, taking them up there with her. The true spirit and raw energy of New York street punk was delivered in two explosive sets at the Cellar Door in 1976 and both are captured here to convey the energy and burning passion of an icon whose debut Horses had only just hit the record stores. TimeLine proudly presents Patti Smith, live in Washington DC on 16th January 1976, performing in support of Horses and with Radio Ethiopia also in the can. Superb, professionally remastered original broadcast with background liners and timeline photos.
