Patti Smith planning Horses 40th anniversary shows
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 9 October 2014
Patti Smith is planning to mark the 40th anniversary of the release of her debut album, ‘Horses’, with events in New York, Paris and London.
She tells Rolling Stone: “The exact date is 10 Nov, and I want to celebrate it in New York in a special way. We have things we’ll be doing in Paris and London, everywhere, because it’s a true milestone. I’m proud to have a milestone like that”.
On how the songs and her performance of them have changed over four decades, she continues: “I think we continue to deliver all of these songs sometimes stronger than when I was young. So I’m going to be happy to celebrate it, to perform the album with happiness, not with any kind of cynicism or a cashing-in thing. It will be a true, proud celebration”.
Further details will presumably be forthcoming in due course. Meanwhile, here’s Smith performing ‘Gloria’ on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in 1976:
