Comment
Patti Smith: vocals, acoustic and electric guitar
Lenny Kaye: electric and acoustic guitars, vocals
Tony Shanahan: bass, guitar, vocals
Jack Petruzzeli: keyboards, guitar, vocals
Jay Dee Dougherty: drums
Jackson Smith guitar on last 5 tunes
Jesse Smith: keyboards on "People Have the Power"
Michael Stipe: vocals on "People Have the Power"

Not much I need to say here: Patti Smith's band, performing "Horses" in its entirety, on the 40th anniversary of the album's release. (Also the 40th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which Patti noted at length, but she did not perform the Gordon Lightfoot song.) It was everything anyone could have expected, including guest appearances from opening act Michael Stipe and both of Patti's children, plus a feedback solo by Patti herself on the encore of "My Generation."
