From the vault: Listen to peak-era Patti Smith put her spin on the Velvet Underground's 'Pale Blue Eyes' on this day in 1976:
was crowned the official art-punk queen of New York. About a month later, on Jan. 16, 1976, Smith and her band traveled to Washington, D.C., where her coronation continued. Their performance at the Cellar Door club included timeless hits like “Gloria” and “Redondo Beach,” as well as this lively cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Pale Blue Eyes.”
While the Velvets’ version is relatively gentle and subdued, Smith adds a bit more bite to the melancholy love song, thanks to her signature wobbly vocals and Lenny Kaye’s slick additions on guitar.
