Watch Patti Smith Perform With Michael Stipe, Bruce Springsteen

Patti Smith was joined onstage Monday night by her longtime friend and collaborator Bruce Springsteen and R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe.

Smith played New York City's legendary Beacon Theater as part of the Tribeca Film Festival. She is celebrating the premiere of her long-awaited documentary Horses: Patti Smith and Her Band.

Smith and Springsteen performed "Because the Night," a song they co-wrote in 1978, before being joined by Stipe for Smith's resistance anthem and set closer "People Have the Power." You can watch the fan-shot video above.

Smith's last live set was over the weekend in Los Angeles at Stephen Stills's benefit concert for Autism Speaks. There, she sang "People Have the Power" alongside Stills and Neil Young.

On Sunday night, Springsteen appeared at a fundraiser in Tribeca for the Kristen Ann Carr Fund for sarcoma. At that event, Springsteen's friends in the Tangiers Blues Band and his longtime photographer Danny Clinch performed alongside special guests like Eddie Vedder and Jackson Browne.
