Artifact Overview
Patti Smith was one of the pioneers of hard-edged punk rock in the 1970s. In 1995, when she performed this concert, Smith was reentering the music scene after the unexpected death of her husband, MC5 guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith. Patti Smith was on the cusp of artistic rebirth-fueled by her ability to reshape her music to speak to new generations.
