Not Fade Away
Toni Sant's Blog: Not Fade Away: "Not Fade Away
Last night I went to Central Park to see Patti Smith live in concert at SummerStage, her third appearance at Rumsey Field since 1993. Although this was the first time I saw her here, it was not the first time I saw Patti Smith and her band perform in New York. Three years ago she appeared at the downtown River To River Festival, an ongoing effort to revitalize lower Manhattan after 9/11 - I even took my summer performance students to see that.
Patti Smith dedicated yesterday's show to Jerry Garcia, the legendary Grateful Dead guitarist, who died on August 9 ten years ago. As it happens, Garcia was born on the 1st of August, so she declared this week 'a nine-day week for Jerry.'"
