Psst! Patti Smith fans, rock and roll lovers, punks and poets, I've got one of the greatest bootlegs of all time for you.
Patti Smith, Teenage Perversity and Ships in the Night (1976).
Part 1
Part 2
Great sound, amazing performance, stellar playing, cool covers, surprising guest stars (John Cale! Iggy!).
Thanks for that, David! I'm downloading part 1 now and will grab part 2 in the morning.
I think it's better than any of her studio albums.
You really get a sense of her shamanic rock and roll quality here.
Grrr, mine won't unzip properly. Might not be a good link.
Is it not unzipping, or it is that your 'puter doesn't know what to do with .shn files? My downloads unzipped fine. I use a Windows utility called Traders Little Helper to convert them to .wav or .mp3. Not sure what the best Mac equivalent is.

That one!
I've got some utilities that can change formats. I didn't even think to do that.
If you like old school jaunty Billie Holiday type jazz, my HS friend Linnzi has a new cd out! [link]
There were rumors of that last night, but I didn't want to believe it. So sad.
