SG RI Bass sighting -- Patti Smith on Letterman
« on: June 13, 2012, 08:10:25 AM »
I saw Patti Smith on Letterman last night. Bassist Tony Shanahan was playing a shiny SG Bass in cherry. I had only seen him with Fenders before.

No video up yet.  Patti was in good form too.

Good to hear that the old girl is doing fine.

She always looked haggard to me. Even way back in the 70's she looked older than she was.

Patti has something, both in her voice and in her looks. And she looks like the kind of thinking woman it is fun to have sex with. Intellect can be a turn-on, you know.

I really liked that record, Banga. In fact I liked it so much it got five stars out of five in my rewiew of it in the local paper. (I'm a retired reporter, but keep doing some album - that's cd for you, kids  :mrgreen: - rewiews, plus some live too)

I saw an interview with her a couple of months ago on CBS Sunday Morning, with Anthony Mason, in front of an audience. It's online here. Definitely worth watching for Patti fans, hope it's viewable in Europe. She was candid, sang a couple of songs and took some audience questions too.

Hey wait, why aren't we talking about that SG Bass?  ;)

 Probably the best up in the mix bass sound on a TV performance ever.
