Patti Smith - "Dancing Barefoot"

On the long list of "songs I only know because U2 covered them" is this gorgeous one by Patti Smith.  First, a link to what might be U2's finest cover, which someone awesomely edited with the Staring At The Sun video: http://youtu.be/FSSAmMwYK4s

And here is Patti's original: http://youtu.be/gcbuG2w0Kzo 

And a bonus: Patti performing the song live with Eddie Vedder and Johnny Depp.  Perfect except for the idiot singing along.  People, if you're gonna watch the concert through your cell phone, please do not sing along and tell your friends to STFU.

(Also, to be fair, I got into U2 as I was coming out of my only pop/dance/hip hop phase, so I was long overdue for some exposure to all of the great rock I was missing!)
