What a kick ass performer...hadn't seen her in 30 years...still looks the same except older but the same high energy...lots of new material and I enjoyed her version of The Doors "Soul Kitchen" It was heartening to see lots of 20 somethings at the show in addition to older guys like me.

He came to Philly, pit of the civilized world, to introduce rare garage rock films and TV episodes at Secret Cinema.But he did not bring Patti, dammit.

Who was playing guitar in the band? Only Lenny Kaye or is there another as well. I'd like the name of the 2nd if there is one...
eb
the venerable Lenny Kaye played lead guitar and also bass...there was a young rhythm guitarist who played occasional lead and a bass player who also doubled on keyboards. She played stuff from the early 70's up to now with music from the new album "12" that's coming out....she did an Iraq war rant and yelled at a couple of hecklers who didn't agree politically and did one tune about freeing Tibet....her lyrics are in a class by themselves...she's still tall and thin...the long straight hair is now gray but she had on the trademark big white shirt with a tee underneath that had the peace sign....this was a great show, two sets and the first of her tour...she hasn't played live for years.

..."hasn't played live for years?" She's performed here in DC and elsewhere in the world quite a bit since she "came back" after her husband died. It may be 18 months or so since her last DC show but there have been lots of other gigs. I've seen her 2-3 times during this period, including the first night of her first re-emergence tour after "Gone Again" came out (who else would title the album marking their return in such a knowing way?). That was pretty thrilling because I was also at the first night of her very first US tour at the Bijou in Philly back in the mid-70s.
Lenny's a given. The bass player/keyboardist (tall guy) is probably Tony Shanahan who's been with her since her reemergence. For the first four records since then the 2nd guitarist was Oliver Ray, but he seemed to have disappeared after the release of Trampin'. Tom Verlaine played on a few dates but I'm wondering if Oliver Ray is back in the fold or someone else has joined up. I was assuming she announced the names of her bandmates but maybe she didn't or you didn't catch it.

...and I've seen her two or three times since her reemergence after her husband's death. She's one of the greats in my book.
I saw Patti many years ago, and the show still sticks in my memory as one of the better ones I've ever seen. Talk about high energy. Wow!!! And she seems to be getting better with age, which is all too rare in the music industry.
stopped making music didn't she
I
think she is ready for the Cuckoo Nest !!!!!!
Her looks are fading fast.
