Patti Smith – First We Take Manhattan: Live in New York, 1979 (Limited Edition 12-Inch Album on Translucent Yellow Vinyl)

This release is limited to 300 copies.

This album showcases the Patti Smith Group’s gig at New York City’s iconic CBGB, on 11 August 1979, during the Wave Tour.

Featured during this incendiary show, are several then-recent numbers, such as the singles Frederick and Dancing Barefoot, as well as notable cuts from Smith’s 1975 debut solo album, Horses, including Redondo Beach and Kimberly. Also included is an awesome cover of the Manfred Mann classic 5-4-3-2-1.

This album offers up a fly-on-the-wall earful of a punk icon at the peak of her prowess.
