Boston\u2019s Orpheum Theatre filled with electric energy at Patti Smith\u2019s concert on Monday, November 24. Anticipation buzzed in the crowd as everyone grew antsy in their seats, restless with expectation to witness Horses<\/em>, Patti Smith\u2019s iconic album released on November 10, 1975. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lights dimmed and onstage walked original members Lenny Kaye (guitar) and Jay Dee Daugherty (drums) along with Tony Shanahan (bass and keyboards) and Smith\u2019s son, Jackson Smith (guitar). Kaye and Dougherty played on the original recording of Horses<\/em>; Shanahan has been with the band for almost 30 years; Jackson Smith has been playing with them for more than 10. Patti Smith\u2019s daughter Jesse Paris Smith joined on keys for the encore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And on strutted Patti Smith, 79, her swagger effortless as she instantly commanded the stage. Her band leaped right into \u201cGloria: In Excelsis Duo,\u201d every person in the crowd holding their breath for the famous opening lines, \u201cJesus died for somebody\u2019s sins but not mine.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the first note of \u201cGloria,\u201d her voice cracked and she made the band start the song over. What makes Smith such an alluring artist is her humanness, and she used the false start to crack the ice by laughing at herself before proceeding to take us away with her magnetizing stage presence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

50 years after the release of Horses<\/em>, Smith proved its power isn\u2019t going anywhere. When she announced the tour earlier this year, the last thing I expected was to end up with a ticket to see her. Thanks to divine intervention, I scored a ticket along with my friend (thank you, Christian!) and wound up only three rows away from Smith on a Monday night in Boston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a stick of dynamite on stage, her grey hair loose in braids as she demanded every single person\u2019s careful attention, her band swirling sonics behind her storytelling. Smith\u2019s wordsmithery and Kaye\u2019s warps of guitar made the concert an out-of-body experience and for most of it I had goosebumps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith catapulted the reggae rhythm of \u201cRedondo Beach\u201d into new realms with her swinging, crooning voice, and \u201cFree Money\u201d was a burst of energy, an anthem that immediately raised everyone from their seats. \u201cBirdland\u201d ended the first set with Smith\u2019s stretching of language beyond the page and even beyond the planes of music: during the nine-minute song, she moved her arms and used different parts of her body to accentuate the speaking part. Her hands pointed upward to symbolize the song\u2019s lyricism and she knocked on her chest as she spoke. directions of the song\u2019s  to gesture directions Towards the end, her band\u2019s instruments died to a drum heartbeat as she sang the lines, \u201cTake me up, I’m going up, I’ll go up there \/ Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up \/ Up, up to the belly of a ship.\u201d Smith\u2019s mouth pressed close to the microphone; I heard the sound of her lips meeting at the P<\/em> of every subdued \u201cUp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith teased the next song. \u201cThis is the part,\u201d she said, when we \u201ctake the record and turn it over\u201d to the B side of Horses<\/em>: \u201cKimberly,\u201d a song about Smith\u2019s youngest sibling. The lyrics, \u201cI feel like just some misplaced Joan of Arc,\u201d resonated with me into the next song. Smith\u2019s lyricism is the cutting kind with lines neatly bowed waiting to unravel you. Smith then introduced \u201cBreak It Up\u201d by talking about her dream of Jim Morrison as a marble statue\u2014the inspiration behind the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following was \u201cElegie,\u201d a Jimi Hendrix tribute recorded at Electric Lady Studios. It tilted into the sprawling territory of \u201cLand\u201d consisting of \u201cLand: Horses\u201d and \u201cLand of a Thousand Dances.\u201d Smith doubled her energy as she roared about the world\u2019s destruction. \u201cWhat are you doing? Where\u2019s the love?\u201d she yelled before the song\u2019s protagonist softened. \u201cWe have one life to live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band\u2019s first set finished full circle with a reprise of \u201cGloria,\u201d the gift that kept on giving before Patti Smith went backstage for a break. Kaye, Shanahan, Daugherty, and Jackson Smith played Television songs \u201cSee No Evil,\u201d \u201cFriction,\u201d and \u201cMarquee Moon.\u201d The Patti Smith Group goes way back with Television. In March 1975, both bands performed a two-month residency at CBGB playing weekend sets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a delight to hear \u201cMarquee Moon\u201d live; Jackson Smith hooked me with his weaning guitar riffs, and Kaye provided incredible vocals (and I\u2019m not just saying that because I earned his smile by fist-pumping at him).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning on stage, Patti Smith radiated love for Boston. \u201cForget all the gourmet stuff,\u201d she said. \u201cGet me a cup of Dunkin\u2019 Donuts coffee.\u201d She admitted she loved their donuts, too, but has cut them out of her diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The set began with \u201cDancing Barefoot,\u201d a fan-favorite and for good reason, before \u201cAin\u2019t It Strange\u201d (a Jimmy Cliff tribute), \u201cPissing In a River\u201d and \u201cPeaceable Kingdom,\u201d which bled into \u201cPeople Have the Power.\u201d Throughout the night, Smith wielded her powers to bring attention to the environmental and political states of the world. She said every word with a tongue of fire, desperate to cement the message as the instruments carried her home. But with the ultimately uplifting \u201cPeople Have the Power,\u201d she raised everyone\u2019s spirits as the audience reclaimed control in uncertain times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause The Night\u201d seamlessly continued the evening\u2019s momentum, rolling into a precious love song for Patti Smith\u2019s late husband Fred \u201cSonic\u201d Smith. Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith co-wrote the song, the chorus first written by Springsteen before Patti Smith finished it. \u201cI\u2019m a good verse maker,\u201d Patti Smith said on stage. Off of her 1978 album Horses<\/em>, “Because the Night\u201d is her most popular song and was written in their first days of courting when she knew Fred was the one. They were married for 14 years until his death on November 4, 1994. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This date also marks Patti Smith\u2019s memoir Bread of Angels<\/em>, released on November 4, 2025. Bread of Angels <\/em>is Smith\u2019s most intimate memoir yet, a deep dive into her growing pains of childhood, unstoppable imagination, and introduction to the art worlds of poetry, lyrics, and rock and roll through Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan\u2019s work. Smith invites the reader into her life after music, too: her marriage to her one true love Fred, children, and following years of writer\u2019s block in which she lost her words in a time of grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are on this chessboard Earth,\u201d she writes on page 256, \u201cwe attempt to make our moves, but at times it seems as if the great hand of a disinterested giant haphazardly sends us on a trajectory of stumbling. What do we do? We step back and seek within ourselves what is needed to be done and serve the best we can. I want to write something redemptive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the concert, the audience cheered with returning anticipation, desperate for an encore. And what\u2019s a show without an encore? Not a Patti Smith concert. She returned onstage with Kaye, Shanahan, Smith, and Daugherty\u2014along with Jesse Paris Smith on keys. Both the band and the crowd rejoiced for two more songs: \u201cGhost Dance\u201d and a reprise of \u201cPeople Have the Power.\u201d \u201cGhost Dance\u201d serves as an appreciation for Indigenous people\u2019s appreciation for sacred ground and chants, \u201cWe shall live again.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople Have the Power\u201d was a wonderful last song, an opportunity I took to soak in as much of Patti Smith and her band while I still could. Orpheum Theatre\u2019s spirit flamed and I found myself smiling ear to ear just looking at the musicians on stage, grateful they\u2019re still performing 50 years later and with the same bolts of lightning. Horses (50th Anniversary)<\/em> released on October 10, 2025 and features alternative takes, early demos, songs that subsequently appeared in her releases following Horses<\/em>, and the previously unreleased \u201cSnowball.\u201d Smith\u2019s career continues to astound audience members and listeners from home alike\u2014a testament to her legacy that will reign for another 50 years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
