Patti Smith performs U2′s "Until The End of The World" live

Definitely did not see this one coming last night!

I am so divided on this cover of the song. I think she starts off strong and think the initial attitude and perspective work, but then feel like the performance loses its way a little bit–and not just because of the lyric changes, or that she forgets the words at one point. I think it's that I just want it to work so incredibly badly that I will forgive it a million sins, which robs me of true objectivity.

More on the show later.
