So good. Indeed some of the best live versions of older songs, especially Coney Island.

I was at this show. Lou Reed was an hour or longer late for his set. The opening act was Ian Dury and the Blockheads. It was announced that Lou was late, but Ian & the Blockheads would keep playing until Lou was available. They played their hearts out, and they must have played Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll 3 times as Ian apologized to the audience for the band repeating their songs. Ian and the Blockheads won over every person in attendance that night! Then Lou and his band play this magnificent show. Since 1978, I had a bootleg of this show. I must have listened to this over 1000 times. That cassette is long gone, so it's nice to hear this concern again. I wish the Ian Dury part of that night would surface on KZfaq. It was my all-time favorite night of live music.

This is by far the best LR performance I’ve found so far; the music is super tight, but not over blown; the songs are like a best of ‘70s collection; Lou is in great form, actually hitting most of his lines, not parodying his own lyrics as he frequently does. Just beautiful.

@ghostexits Жыл бұрын
@@spaceengineer1452 it’s like he’s too cool to sing the same way twice. But his improv is so careless and awkward, like he has a disdain for his own material. I put Lou Reed in the company of Dylan and Leonard Cohen, but unlike those two, there’s a fair amount of Reed’s output I shudder to listen to.
@@spaceengineer1452 Yea he's the only major artist who was totally incapable of doing justice to his amazing songs in concert. He's almost totally unlistenable after the mid-70s. He just blows as a singer live--way too mannered and awkward, rushed, out of tune, refusing to sing the melody, horrible timing--Just Awful. And I'm a lifelong Velvets fan.

Thank you so much for sharing this recording of a truly wonderful show from Lou. I shall save it so that it will be on tap for future access. I had seen Lou a few years earlier when he performed at the Rainbow in London, during his 1974 tour. There is a video of his performance in Paris, during this year. As in London, he has bleached hair and wears his trademark dark shades - an image perfectly captured on the cover of Sally Can't Dance. I felt so proud to be there, witnessing the coolest act in town with a black girlfriend to give me extra street cred: how cool is that!

I have the 'Take No Prisoners' live album, obviously the same band, TNP is my absolute live Lou or at least neck in neck with 'Rock N Roll N Animal'. Soundwise this is very good, a soundboard recording I assume? Anyway, this one is a must-have, not only because of the whole punk ethos this exemplifies (Lou Would probably cringe at the comparison ) of those heady times, but for the fact, this has some cracking songs, not on Prisoners. I'm listening to Leave me Alone as I'm writing this, and this one goes into some crazy free form, Jazzy jam. So you have these songs not on Prisoners: 'Gimme Gimme Some Good Times'-Dirt'-'Rock N Roll', and he actually sings 'Walk On The Wild Side' instead of taking the piss out of the song while rapping about how the song came to be. R.I.P. Lou Reed-genius, Rock N Roll poet.
@GreenManalishiUSA3 жыл бұрын
This Chicago concert was recorded about a month before the Take No Prisoners shows. The TNP dates took place toward the end of Lou's USA tour. Perhaps by that time Lou had had enough of being on the road , and, back home in NYC, he could chill out a little bit. Hence the TNP shows contain those rambling and funny monologues. But this Chicago show is arguably a better showcase of the raw power that Lou and his band were capable of unleashing onstage.
