Live Lou

RBALLY has a great old LOU REED show posted. Its from Alice Tully Hall in New York, January 27, 1973:

RBALLY - LOU REED 1/27/73

To put the show in perspective, the DAVID BOWIE/MICK RONSON-produced "Transformer" LP came out in November 1972. On December 26, he played for a live radio broadcast that would eventually become the "American Poet" CD. The BOB EZRIN-produced "Berlin" LP (which he's performing in New York this week) would come out in July '73. And the live show that would become the classic "Rock 'n Roll Animal" and "Lou Reed Live" LPs was in December 1973. It was quite a period for Lou.

The show is a lot of fun, and I think this is the first time I've heard a live version of "Wagon Wheel". Thanks, rbally!
