I saw this tour in Detroit. Ian Dury blockheads opened. Lou was late and the crowd getting nasty. Lou walks on stage and says “fuck you detroit, you’re lucky I even show up”. The crowd loved it and the show was great.

I don't know it's just something about it that makes LR and that guitar guy addictive for me. Of course, Robert Quine (had to go look it up) and the great Fernando.

I was at the show and I seem to remember an idiot in the audience that had painted track marks on his forearms and had a guitar coming up on stage pretending to be Lou and having the security taken out anyway it was an amazing concert and Lou seem to handle the distraction really well😊

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 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 KZitem. 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.

@@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.
