Note from the taper (MysticalCrow):

My ticket stub from the show lists it as July 10. I taped 
this show from the front row of the Houston Music Hall. 
Not exactly the best place to tape a show, but a good place 
to watch it from. First set is OK.  Patti comes back from 
intermission in a different world from the rest of us. 
Incredibly bizarre.

Notes about 79-May-23:

Info I found out about this:

Patti Smith Frederick (Rare 1979 US Arista 2-track promo 12" 
includes exclusive live version recorded in New York, 23/5/79, 
custom picture stickered sleeve. SP-62)

The Palladium show served as the source for two live 
B-sides the PSG released in 1979. A third live track 
was supposed to appear on a promo 7" single, but that 
never happened.

From Hit Parader, 1979:
Upcomlng plans for the band include the release of a 
live album taped during their recent European tour.

Notes that came with this recording:

Patti Smith  Frederick from unreleased live album

The story I heard...Patti was going to release a live album 
around 1978-79 and she had recorded a number of NY shows. 
Supposedly the track list was drawn up, but somehow the project 
was scuttled. All that remains, they say, is this promo only 
version of Frederick that kicks ass, and the cover of 
Manfred's 5 4 3 2 1.

In the next week, I'm going to put up an outtake of Patti doing 
Because the Night.  Please tell all your friends who are software 
experts. The song has speed issues that I can't fix. I'm hoping 
that if I throw it out, it will come back to me someday fixed 
and sounding great.
