Patti Smith Group - Land Live
I can't get enough of the first Patti Smith album Horses. It's been a regular listen down the years and shows no sign of abating. The songs veer from the short and snappy proto-punk pieces like Gloria and Break It up to rolling, ambient, poetry epics like the starkly chilling Birdland or the three part title track. It really is timeless and still manages to exhilarate me.
Below is a live version of Horses/Land of 1,000 Dances/Le Mer - from the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test. It's short and snappy and markedly basic compared to the multilayered, John Cale produced, album version, but still packs a punch. Go Rimbaud indeed.
