SELECTED BOOTLEGS

Digital storage, the Internet, and other modern technologies have rendered the old notion of the bootleg redundant today; it seems that no sooner does an artist come off stage than somebody is uploading the show to a website or blog, posting footage on YouTube, and so on. Any attempt to document the wealth of unauthorized Patti Smith recordings to have appeared in recent years would ultimately turn into little more than a list of all the shows Patti has played since that time. The following, therefore, notes only Patti’s bootleg releases prior to 1980.
