VIDEO: Patti Smith Covers Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush” on The Tonight Show w/ Jimmy Fallon

Patti Smith covered Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush” on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, Jan 9, 2020.

Before Patti began singing, she started with a poem from her new memoir Year of the Monkey: “Yet I still keep thinking that/Something wonderful is about to happen/Maybe tomorrow/A tomorrow following a whole succession of tomorrows.”
