(PR) The Patti Smith Under Review DVD is set to hit stores on October 30th. With rare and previously unseen performance footage, rare film, interviews with Patti Smith and with those who know her best, location shoots and lengthy contributions from friends, colleagues and esteemed experts, this program closely examines the astonishing music she has been making through three decades.

It also includes interviews with her first publisher and biographer, Victor Bockris; her ex-songwriting partner, Blue Oyster Cult�s Albert Bouchard; engineer on Horses, Frank D�Augusta; producer of Radio Ethiopia, Jack Douglas; engineer on the Easter sessions, Shelly Yakus; author of Horses and the Remaking of Rock n� Roll, Mark Paytress, English music journalist and author, Jon Savage; Rolling Stone magazine�s ex- editor, Anthony De Curtis; New York�s Village Voice music editor, Robert Christgau; Patti Smith biographer, Nick Johnstone and more.

It features live and studio performances of Patti Smith classics such as: Gloria, Easter, Because The Night, Dancing Barefoot, Frederick, Ask The Angela and many, many more. The target of more sexist clich� [largely emanating from those who should know better] than just about any other woman in rock, Patti Smith is not �the female Bob Dylan�, �the first lady of Punk� or �the most dynamic female artist of all time�; she is simply a unique performer, stunning songwriter and superb vocalist who has stayed at the cutting edge of contemporary music for more than 30 years.
