Patti Smith - Dancing Barefoot (Later with Jools)

[@vncvenus]

I love you, Saint Patricia 💜

[@vivnoname]

That woman has got so much soul. What an absolutely great addition to legend status.

[@MrPjalex]

Just brilliant.. this is 2024 and this is so refreshingly raw and powerful...

[@AlexB_yolo]

Wow! Her performance, amazing! And the guy at the guitar… just wow! What a fantastic live version!

[@fynnhelliscate8961]

SHE (and HE) ! Just Brilliant, after all these years

[@robinlandland]

she's like a pagan goddess..very pure..very wise..and a great storyteller

[@christophezanardi5319]

c'est exactement cela! en tout cas,lorsque je l'ai vu au Paléo festival, en 1994,cela tenait du concert rock,du happening mais surtout dune cérémonie païenne,les plus grand artistes sont des "passeurs" vers d'autres dimensions ,Patti en fait partie,c'est la plus grande!

[@MickStJohn]

robinlandland she is amazingly spiritual

[@caribman10]

Well said.

[@anyanikolaeva9619]

A Druidess:)

[@Broatch6]

Witchcraft ! like U I'm still under her Spell !!

[@extremetrek507]

This guy still does not know that he just played the best version ever of that song. He just played it awesome

[@mokhtarbelalia6294]

He's livin' his music, he plays great

[@salvatorecorona]

Great guitarist​@@mokhtarbelalia6294

[@moderndancer9071]

Oh God I fell for Patti!

[@rendyandrian7149]

I get a goosebump whenever I listen to this video. Pure, raw emotion and expression yet she still sings in tune. The guitarist also plays perfectly. He plays soft and hard following Patti's singing.

[@eugenewardjr.3506]

What makes this acoustic version special is how much stronger and clearer her voice comes through as opposed to the electric ones. It really allows you to hear just how beautiful her voice truly is when she's not having to compete with a full band. God what a gifted singer as well as a songwriter.

[@sorayasenaofernandez5471]

Absolutely

[@samniacat]

What makes it worse is Patti was Oliver Ray, has her tootsie at the time, backing her up instead of her son, Jackson, or the fantastic Lenny Kaye.

[@sedisedita]

Her voice is everything

[@shaaymays5054]

Patti Smith will always be the Queen of Punk!!!

[@emilykrivak5591]

Idk why but Later with Jool's got some of the best live performances ever

[@cowpercoles1194]

Cos' all the great music acts in the world want to play in London, so it's possible to constantly book the best performers in the world. Location, location, location...

[@bretkindell6887]

100 %

[@loucat2779]

It's the legendary penis fo sho. You're welcome, Jools.

[@mokhtarbelalia6294]

The guy is givin all he gots, awesome ❤

[@leoncoquet4929]

One of the best female performers

[@johnbouskill4141]

I love Patty Smith. This is very special !

[@idicula1979]

I’m not a fan of Patty Smith but this song KICKS ASS, the true brilliance of a poet.

[@TheAtticradio]

One of those songs I consider a perfect song. Awesome

[@missfatcat]

So enchanting!!! Patti is such a priestess.

[@herry8488]

An excellent rendition. The original is still quite stunning. She has a great voice👌👌👌👌

[@extremetrek507]

This guitar player performed a wonder without knowing... awesome

[@BloodyRose3000]

Incredible, her voice is SO strong here.

[@angelamartin2811]

You can always hear when someone’s singing from their soul this live acoustic version is raw and shows what an amazing voice Patti has. These days almost anyone can be a singer with all the fancy voice altering techno stuff. This song is beautiful and deep!

[@Wuei108]

The guitar player gives it all.

[@mrss0712]

I think that it's her son.

[@winstonwatson1469]

That’s Oliver Ray. We met on the Paradise Lost tour. I played drums for BD. We live in Tucson, with our families.

[@johnegan7622]

@@winstonwatson1469 Saw this when it was first broadcast on the BBC by pure chance. My mate described the guitarist as Animal from the Muppets with a guitar rather than a drum set. It was meant entirely as a compliment. He really does give his all but in no way overshadows Ms Smith.

[@gino3286]

I would try a 12 strings More harmonics and less strained

[@irenahalder]

@@gino3286 the chords look manageable; I see Em and D, will look up the rest ♥️

[@caribman10]

Jesus, that's intense. She's a special talent.

[@martinpedersen4058]

dancing barefoot is poetry and music that really moves me.sets my soul on fire

[@breezyvibe]

I have to come and watch this every once in a while . . love her . .

[@marcusmaddenov2451]

Damn that was awesome!

[@marcobartoli3506]

Mamma mia che meraviglia...!! Love from Italy..100% passion ❤

[@johnschaefer2238]

Some singers have it and some don’t! Patti has it!!!!!

[@mrss0712]

My favorite version of this song.

[@hrnful]

one of the best rock artists ever

[@ambermackay921]

Beautiful !

[@sultanoftippoo3857]

Just love this lady and her body of work. A unique human being and talent.

[@paulperkins1615]

That momentary grin when the song is over. Wow.

[@joanntunnellmuench]

I'm an old hippie who used to play MC5 albums in my little East Texas town. Patti Smith was and is someone who touches me with her words and her gravitas. She's both tough and feminine and is my touchstone on how to retain the passion and no matter what age.

[@ianrussell2816]

What a song and what a singer , love it ❤

[@stevensalloway6288]

She is a force of nature - wowza!

[@thetheraine]

a perfect version that is now stuck in my head... a love song and a prayer... beautiful... I wish Jools would have said the guitarists name, he certainly deserves recognition and I loved Patti checking her fly and pulling it up... lol...

[@DavidYohn1]

Raimundo Amador

[@thetheraine]

@@DavidYohn1 - thanks...

[@thetheraine]

@@DavidYohn1 - no I don't think it's Raimundo... this guy is younger...

[@AlexB_yolo]

@@thetheraineit’s Oliver Ray. Got it from the other comments.

[@thetheraine]

thanks, I'll check him out...

[@allenwright9471]

Incredible and my favorite rebel rocker women!❤

[@jeffreyhusack2400]

He's really into that guitar , awesome playing 🎸👍👍

[@loucat2779]

All hail the Queen!!

[@johnny5057]

Bravo! I saw this on the TV when it went out in 2002 and its still one of the best Later performances ever.

[@indy26211]

eveything she do is perfect !!

[@johnlombardi8412]

It can only come out of her at this pure level like no one else. I really heard her in this super verson...

[@andisoshal3715]

Beautiful mother of earth

[@kreefko]

Dit is zo'n geweldige uitvoering. Wat een kracht!

[@elenvoar]

Que maravilha de música..... Que mulher fantástica!!!

[@atis9061]

one of the only great poets in music

[@dbora18]

Patti Smith es increíble!!

[@stevesalloway4950]

Wow wow wow! - She is a force! Magnificent - this performance is truly a masterpiece.

[@kimberlygrissom2315]

Amazing is all I can say

[@Janoostrom]

BRAVO PATTI !!!!!!!

[@galleriatoledo2872]

brava Patti!

[@ggforeigner]

HAPPY Birthday Patti. 💕

[@donnabendell7688]

She makes my soul dance

[@leonardbateman8602]

I read that she wanted Jim Morrison to sing this song. I love that they used it for the opening of Daisy and the Six. Great tune.

[@jamestrimble366]

Just Iconic ! I can't wait to see here in DC in September

[@tORIpeejbJorK]

Legend. Legend. LEGEND.

[@hopalongmusic]

Yup, that is the definitive version.

[@josefbruckner7154]

Because that song is completely powerful and intensive : This acoustic version is equally valuable with the HQ Audio version and other electric releases.

[@maryinaz6091]

😱 she becomes the music, amazing

[@driveoff88]

unbelievably amazing!!! what is music without patti???

[@danmang92]

such emotion.

[@alexisjigalin1006]

holy shit...that was incredible.

[@sistersuetube]

wow thanks so much for posting this!!!! I remember her singing this at the RNR hall of fame with U2 and Springsteen backing her up

[@MrPjalex]

Awesome

[@lindahabenstreit3219]

Fabulous!

[@matthewblue7839]

Patti sure can deliver , in a way this unplugged version is stronger then the record: missed the poetry at end though !:)

[@soalivepop]

Brutal 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@billbike4662]

Goose bumps ✨

[@caribman10]

FORTY YEARS LATER and it's still an astonishingly powerful song. Must admit I hadn't thought of it as an acoustic song until this version...now how about with a 12-string, electric or acoustic?

[@bretkindell6887]

So powerful, makes my hair raise on my arms..

[@Karencoraoliviarags]

Love this!

[@sima63]

so good :-)

[@Aurora-mt3qs]

I love you Patti ❤🔥🔥🥰🥰

[@donnafrost12strings]

Incredible. Even better than the original recording.

[@kirstenfunke433]

Seit ich 15 war meine absolute Favorit in.Super Video/Gesang/Gitarre. Ps. Bin jetzt 49 😜✌🙏

[@christinepranzo6710]

If I play music I wait for these praying there's a now one.😊

[@HandleGF]

She has a wonderful story about the only time she met Jim Morrison, when she was unknown and hungry. Elektra parties were the best for stealing food from, cos the food was always set up between the main room and the entrance. She's in there one evening, thinking she's alone, stuffing bread and fruit into a bag, when a man's voice from a corner says, "Those hamburgers are pretty good too." So she quickly takes a few of them and says thanks. Jim just nods.

[@avalondreaming1433]

John F So cool. To be a fly on that wall, or that burger, even!

[@russcohen3779]

Love love love ❤❤❤

[@rangvi1956]

Just awesome 💟💟💟💟

[@christophemonfort451]

What is poetry ? Understanding poetry by J Evans Pritchard (PHD !!). This IS. can't explain, I just love this.

[@HamelCastel]

authentic.

[@ctboland]

Love it...her fly's down @ 1:24 Love Patti.

[@caribman10]

No it isn't. Look again.

[@dustincarpenter3554]

Not sure..some adjustment there. Love you Patti.

[@annangel4828]

Love that broad! From the CBGB days. Hoping to see her New Year's!

[@heider.fernandes]
