Patti Smith: 3 live songs & interview, 1976 Brussels

Patti Smith interview and songs: 1:24 'Gloria (In Excelsis Deo)', 8:44 'Land', 12:36 'Let's Twist Again' (a rarity). Live at the Cirque Royal for a TV feature in Belgium on 10/12/1976. "I do not consider myself anywhere as foreign." - "An emblematic figure of the New York underground, Patti Smith explains in this interview that she continues to write, to paint, but that she considers that rock'n'roll is an art that integrates all other forms of expression. A universal art: "I do not consider myself anywhere as foreign, it does not matter if we do not speak the same language, in a concert, it's like babbling, all the fervor and all the energy that I put on painting or to write, I put it in the rock n roll, I use so much of my brain, my guts, my heart ... ".
Patti Smith also performs three of her songs including "Gloria" and a cover of "Let's Twist Again", accompanied by Lenny Kaye on guitar."
