This is the definitive collection compiling live performances from 1976—Patti Smith's most popular era—covering the *Horses* and *Radio Ethiopia* albums. It features soundboard audio on CDR and newly broadcast pro-shot footage on DVDR. The audio component features a high-quality soundboard recording of the Madison concert—carefully selected from among various available sources—as its centerpiece, with additional San Francisco recordings included as bonus tracks to fill the remaining disc space; all tracks have been remastered from high-quality masters. The video portion is sourced from a new broadcast master recently aired in Sweden, offering superb picture quality. I believe there has never been a release capturing a 1976 Patti Smith concert with such stunning visual clarity. It is a definitive live collection that covers the performance from both audio and visual perspectives.
