Patti Smith在洛杉矶Wiltern剧院举行的最后一场音乐会，庆祝她的专辑“Horses”四十周年。
Patti Smith's final concerts at the Wiltern Theater, Los Angeles, celebrating the fortieth anniversary of her album Horses".

这是Patti1994年的一张现场，她的老公Fred Sonic Smith于同年去世，我们可以借着这张专辑来了解当时的Patti，不过说实话，对于Patti真正的歌迷来说，这一定是一张必要的收藏品，但如果是一个没有听过她的歌的人，可能不会马上喜欢上这张现场，她没有宏大的场面，优质的音响，而只有Patti的声音，让人感觉到十几年的隐居生活，使她憔悴了许多。

Legendary artist Patti Smith and My Bloody Valentine s Kevin Shields are set to release a double disc set of their live performance of The Coral Sea on their own PASK imprint. The Coral Sea is Patti Smith s posthumous homage to her friend and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe and the title to her 1997 book. Kevin Shields accompanies her on guitars and effects and creates a haunting backdrop to the spoken prose. The love recordings were made June 22nd 2005 and September 12th 2006 respectively at sold out performances at the QEH in London. The set will run almost two hours with a different stylistic approach to each performance. The UK s Guardian upon reviewing
the 2005 performance gave it 5 stars and called it magical. One critic
said of the live performance: A kind of screaming requiem, The Coral Sea describes Mapplethorpe s terminal illness. Intense, layered electronics surged to a discordant climax as Patti Smith read her poem, the words sailing over the noise like an ocean liner, with the black and white video showing the ocean, the liner and the grey twilight of grief. The poem tells the story of M
(Mapplethorpe) on a final voyage to see the stars of the Southern Cross before
he dies.

November 2005 marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Patti Smith's debut album, Horses, a groundbreaking rock & roll masterpiece which continues its unparalleled influence on rock music, style and culture. Arista/Columbia/Legacy Recordings will celebrate this musical milestone with the release of Horses/Horses, a two-disc Legacy Special Edition of Patti Smith's debut album, on Tuesday, November 8.

Disc One of Horses/Horses features the original album, in its entirety, along with the bonus track, Patti's interpretation of the Who's classic "My Generation." Initially released as the B-side to "Gloria," the first single from Horses, in 1975, "My Generation" features John Cale, the album's producer, on bass. The Legacy Special Edition of Horses has been remastered by Greg Calbi producing superior sound to previous editions of the album.

The second disc of Horses/Horses showcases Patti Smith and her Band--Lenny Kaye (guitar), Jay Dee Daugherty (drums), Tony Shanahan (bass), Tom Verlaine (guitar) and featuring Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers--performing the complete Horses album live, with a "My Generation" encore, at the Royal Festival Hall in London on June 25, 2005. This historic performance of Horses was the culminating concert at the 2005 Meltdown Festival, which was curated by Patti Smith. (Lenny Kaye and Jay Dee Daugherty were both members of the ensemble that played on the original Horses while Tom Verlaine was a guest artist on the 1975 album).

Horses/Horses comes packaged with a deluxe booklet featuring rare archival photographs, ephemera, lyrics and documentation of the 2005 concert as well as Paul Williams' provocative essay on "Gloria."

其实这张专辑的风格和上一张Peace And Noise有些相像之处，也就是都同样精彩，同样的气势滂沱，Patti仍然以布道者的语气向听者“宣读”自己完美的词作。从第一首One Voice开始就是，也许这首歌的气势并比不上Waiting Underground，但整张专辑一定只比前作更有力度，更能振奋人心。Lo And Beholden，China Bird都是非常好的作品，第八首的Strange Messenger的灵感来自于Patti的同名诗集。到了最后一首的Gung Ho，整张专辑被带到了新的高度，滂沱的气势和复杂的编曲，将表现歌词的意境衬托得淋漓尽致，其实我也找不到什么更好的词来形容了，也许是这张专辑太让人感动，反而让我不知道该怎么介绍它了。
