Fifteen or 20 people showed up but the momentum slowly built. Patti Smith showed up next, a local poet with advanced show-biz genes, just beginning to build her legend by knocking them dead at the St. Mark's Poetry Project. With guitarist Lenny Kaye (read his tribute to Joey here) and band, she was added to the weekend lineup and for the first time, the place was packed...

His soloing on the greasy, rolling “Chicken Dog” called upon jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery’s pioneering style as he conjured segments of thick parallel octaves. These soon gave way to electronic pedal antics from tone bending to evocations of Jimi Hendrix’s wa-wa guitar bending on his legendary “Voodoo Child...
