Easily my favorite live video of SY

[@woden22]

SY channeling the ghost of some unwritten post-Beat neo-noir amphetamine-fueled pulp fiction written by Lou Reed and Clark Coolidge. Easily my fave track on BMR, with Ghost Bitch fugued into the intro. This is a great live version from a legendarily weird and technical difficulties-plagued show I'd only heretofore read about.
