I recently listened to a recent recording of your One Too Many Mornings on youtube. Really great. Today I was listening to a recording of Bob in Liverpool in June of 1996. He opened the show with Drifter's Escape. I uploaded it here. Fantastic version I think. Quite different than any performance of it by Bob that I've heard previously. I like it !.. After the drums at the ends of the verses, I feel like it is about to go into a different song, but I can't quite put my finger on, which song I'm hearing .. nm https://youtu.be/7oiGteUdpFA

What an awesome cover Patti!! Love that album. Haven't seen Bob in a while, but got a ticket for Tuesday in Redding, CA on my way to Idaho. Thanks for the on the road posts. Enjoy the tour and maybe we will see you out West later this year.

This is most awesome! I love your poetic voice in melody telling the story of the drifter. The divine one. 🌟

Your sharing brings a lovely light into my day, Patti Smith. Thinking of you on the passing of Bob Neuwirth ❤️

At this moment, on BBC Radio Scotland, they’re playing you (Patti ) singing hanging of the Guard...

(amazing the difference one letter can make- Ed.) 🤭

Happy birthday, Bob, wandering minstrel of our time!. Great song to embody the beginning of your drifter's escape, your tour, even your writing. Like Kerouac and all of us who long for the road, it's the anticipation that can be so very exciting. Patti, take care and sing your heart out. I know you will! Rock on✊🎸

Great cover! Never heard this before. You know a whole album of you doing Dylan songs would be a pretty good idea.
