Earlier this summer I saw that Patti Smith was coming to Iceland to perform her album Horses in celebration of it being 40 years since its release.  Since my mom is a big fan, and I’ve always been curious, I bought tickets for the two of us.

Fast forward a few months, and all of a sudden it was concert time!

I must say that she blew me away.  She’s a goddess of a performer, seemingly giving off massive amounts of her energy, but also receiving energy in return from the room in spades.  I can only hope that I’ll by as spry at the tender age of 68! (7 images total)
