Patti Smith & Sarah McLachlan - Because The Night

This is direct proof that style, grace, and presence does not come in a bottle of makeup. Patti Smith is a living legend.

Remember when live performances were live? and had some soul? feeling? emotion? One good thing about modern media I suppose is we can still watch Patti. Fukn awesome.

16 years later and I still get goose bumps every time I hear this.

Some people are just cool at a DNA level. Patti Smith is one of them.

She really is Punk Rock, like everything about her. She is a real artist,, poet, writer,, musician, influencer OG, and truly an icon of our time. CBGBs!

Patti Smith: Way back then, until this- simply AWESOME, AMAZING, this lady then/later just ROCKS! Terrifically written song, delivered then/later POWERFULLY, does IT get any better then this? AND to have the superb Sarah McLachlan doing the sublime piano intro, then later instrumental harmony. So GLAD I've lived in the BEST MUSIC times EVER!!

Patti must have performed this song a million times, but she NEVER mails it in. What an artist!

I always got a shiver up my spine when I hear that haunting piano introduction, knowing what’s going to come next when she starts singing. Love this song.

This is the first time that I have seen Pattie live and I am 66, thank you utube.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲☮️☮️☮️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎸🎸😀😀👍👍

She gives me chills every time I hear this. She is a major talent.

STILL TIMELESS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Who’s here in 2023? This performance gives me chills ❤

She still has it. Incredible. Always been a huge fan of her.

This is one of the world's most beautiful women, one of literature's most honest and intriguing voices, one of the most exciting performers on the stage... yes, you could say I've got a vibe for Patti, and it goes back to her first show in Detroit, at the Masonic Temple. Her band was preceded by Fred Sonic Smith's band Sonic's Rendezvous, which I had followed at Second Chance, a bar in Ann Arbor, and before then, when I was in my teens, I saw him many times with the legendary and genuinely revolutionary MC5. I've seen Patti many times and it's never anything less than a spiritual experience. And her book, "Just Kids," shows she doesn't need a band or a stage to be at her best.

La vita ci insegna a capire chi siamo ma per chi ha dedicato la vita all'arte esiste un paradiso non artificiale ma immensamente unico

What a great song! What a great performance!!!

That performance came from deep down in the soul, and what a powerful soul she is.

My God, that is the most soulful performance I've ever seen of Patti. Not the queen of punk the last queen of Rock n Roll.

she is the high priestess of punk and she knows the language... Love you Patti.

Her voice has lost none of it's power. magnificent.
