PATTI SMITH
Broadcast Collection, 1975-1979
2018 U.S. 11xCD Box Set
Unofficial
I couldn’t leave my local shop without this today.
It’s going to take me a while to get through it in its entirety, but when you’re as much of a disciple of Patti as I am, it’s an endeavour you’re willing to partake in.
This sprawling 11 disc set documents live performances by Patti spread out over five years; NYC, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Oregon.
Tonight, I’m starting with the first two discs, which is ONE show from the Bottom Line in NYC, two days after Christmas in 1975.
Just a crazy snapshot of a wild five year window from one of the most important artists of all time.
