After her set was over, and the club had partly cleared out, Ms. Smith returned to the stage for a silent postscript. As fans held up outstretched hands, Ms. Smith reached into a bag and handed out little black pins. They read, “What remains is future.”
Oh gosh, lemme go get what I wrote down from watching most of it on the webcast -
Oh, she started with Piss Factory! (the spoken word piece - it kicks)
Not in order:
Birdland
Distant Fingers
Tide is High (Blondie cover)
Marquee Moon (Television cover)
Lou Reed tune, forgot what it was
Then pretty much in order:
Ghost Dance
Sonic Reducer (Dead Boys cover)
Free Money
Pissing in a River
Gimme Shelter (you know who cover)
Space Monkey
Medley of Ramones tunes with I think lenny kaye singing
Blitzkrieg Bop
Beat on the Brat
Rock and Roll (radio?)
Sheena is a Punk Rocker
Aint it Strange
So You Wanna Be a Rock and Roll Star (Byrds cover)
Babelogue into Rock n Roll N***er, just like off Easter
For your Love (Yardbirds cover)
My Generation (I don't have to tell you the original band I hope)
Horses into Gloria
There was one somewhere in there about Learning to Walk without Chains, I think it was new, a very anti-war song about someone who'd been in guantanamo.
I love Patti. I've loved her for many years.....

What I'm waiting for is if someone recorded it off the webcast and it goes up on yousendit or a torrent somewhere. If I find it I'll post where - you guys do the same okay?
While I was watching it, I was finishing some overdue paperwork, and the screen was real small, so I didn't realize FLEA was playing with them for a while and that's who they were singing happy birthday to! (He mentions it in his latest fleamail)
Tom Verlaine played with them for a while too.
Oops - gotta leave for work.

Damn, I didn't know about this show, or about CBGB's closing. I saw Patti Smith twice in London. Both great shows.
