Lack little to Patti Smith finish your full interpretation of Horses , seminal disk of a punk who was coming, released 40 years ago, when the middle of the penultimate issue, the feverish Land , warns the Lisbon Coliseum in Lisbon, the music will slow down a bit and then go back to moving towards the climax. The singer gave himself already possessed, the verses of a poem in delight, a fury that sometimes lends him a pirate voice, and enjoy now the instruments trying to catch my breath so as not to lose sight of the endless impetus This woman of 68 years to tell the public that “we are in this together – one mind, one heart and everything is within reach.”
When Patti Smith in a recent interview with Publico, confessed his admiration for Pope Francis and heralded see in him a true revolutionary move toward a humanitarian instinct, perhaps what we witnessed on Monday at the Coliseum (and before the In Spring Sound in June in Porto) equals him in this quest for a class action, a gesture that also aims to unite all before him under the influence of a strong community of masses. If the Primavera Sound, outdoors and for many thousands of people, we could talk about a beautiful open air mass now at the Colosseum, the energy was more concentrated and almost flammable.
Patti Smith knows this very well. And it is no accident that chooses the brief moments of calm before giving new rope to the unbridled intensity of Land . In the final minutes, Gloria , opening theme Horses and the show in Lisbon, breaks out again on stage, picking up the Land and setting of absolute ecstasy reaction in the room. And the reason is simple: the first time Patti performed the song tonight, an elaborate version, there were still different classical roles; she was up there on the stage and the audience was dedicated to a profound act of worship of one of the most important musical creators of the past 50 years. The second time, however, the “GLORIA” of Gloria no longer meets us in different planes, Smith already blurred differences and called in a manner as whole and sweeping to your music we’re all in it together. That is the message passing in and repeating after an evil end: “ I am you ” [I am you]. This is not just music. This is religious, this is poetic and it is political.
The perfect script
And it is so political and so beautiful that after the end of the presentation Horses , with the touching Elegie , where will reeling off the names of the dead who rescues – even for Seconds – to oblivion and put back on the stage, to be applauded (Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and family Ramones, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Robert Mapplethorpe and Lou Reed), Patti Smith focuses its encores a memory idea. Not just yours, their 70s, the cultural landmark that was Horses and that is naturally made in a concert that takes you by heart; but also of its New York who trod with Mapplethorpe and the Velvet Underground are honored by his band a medley including Rock & amp; Roll Waiting for my man and White light / white heat , while Smith momentarily cut scene.
After a Horses that juraríamos invested the original vitality, crossed by all his poetry ghosts beat untouched in his artistic relevance, and following this path it would take Patti Smith to the Velvet Underground, the singer told his visit to the Casa Fernando Pessoa, amazing is to see the collection of books of the Portuguese poet the same as today we read – Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, Walt Whitman – even imagining that Allen Ginsberg was also there, because the person would never stop reading if it was his contemporary. And soon after we were sucked into the unstoppable vortex Beneath the southern cross , inducing theme perfect trance for the final blow.
In a magnificent final sequence, Patti Smith recovered everything that a perfect concert was done, of charged emotions, away from any cold and mechanical reproduction of a disc with 40 years history in connecting a rawness of punk music and a tear poetry beat . First, speaking of the love relationship that marked his life, his marriage to guitarist of MC5 Fred “Sonic” Smith, who returns to her boyfriend said, every time singing Because the Night , superb anthem song-writing socks with Bruce Springsteen. Then, with a People have the power where noted that the power to dream, vote, stay and love belongs to each one. And not to companies and multinationals and the “ fucking Governments ” that begged his audience not to let them have freely in the world.
