If you can sleep through anything, keep quiet about it. Let your bright eyes and...

Patti Smith review – utterly transformed by the power of music

Four songs into her set, Patti Smith starts to cry: “First tears of the tour!” she sighs, wiping her eyes.

Perhaps in Brighton they are even more reverential than those Smith usually faces, 60 years on from her debut single. The first but not the last loud scream of “I love you...
