Ich liebe ihn auch seit ich 16 Jahre alt war. Bin jetzt 65. Wir wurden in der geilsten Zeit geboren. Habe ihn zum erstenmal live in Harlem NY gesehen. Liebe auf den ersten Blick!! Wir sind Glückspilze! RIP Lou. ❤️❤️🇨🇭
I’m 71 and just discovered Lou! I’d heard “Walk On The Wild Side” from way back in the day, but never listened to anything else...This man is amazing...I’m glad to have found him.
You are like me. I’m 55 and a big music guy but never payed much attention to Lou…. but this concert woke me up and I’ve been listening to him like crazy on Spotify. He’s a genius and his Velvet Underground stuff is equally as good. Enjoy brother! ✌️
@@johnschkeeper no...hahaha...hardly!..I have listened to music since mid 1950s. But I’m still “Alive” so I plan on enjoying all different types of music... The Tibetan monastery was a nice touch...Thanks for your concern✌️
@@OutOnTheTiles thank you! Yeah, I don’t want to look back and see what I missed. I’m sure there was a lot! So I just listen in the “Present Tense” Take care✌️
@@johnschkeeper I know. Late 60s I was having my 1st son. Beatles, CCR, Stephan wolf (sp) Cream, you get the picture. But believe me that if I had known of Lou and VU I would have been buying their 4,8 tracks😜
Well, that was about time Virginia !!! You've heard since then about The Velvet? The Factory in NYC? Lower East Side? Midtown? I'm from Europe myself and not native English speaking at all, and if it's your case... I mean being a Yankee girl or from I don't know where in the UK you really have to improve your real good old culture... Mind you there's no age at all for this, but still...

The version of Street Hassle played here is almost comical the way the tune is played and his vocal delivery. So much more upbeat than the subject matter of the song. Lou was quite the character and he definitely looks to be having a lot of fun during this show.
In 1999 I had a band in college and we started playing sweet jane. than we started adding other Lou's songs to the set and ended up playing a whole set of his songs. I can proudly tell that I played in a Lou Reed tribute/cover band. By chance and by accident, so to speak.
RIP not only Lou Reed, but ROBERT QUINE! He was playing lead guitar for Lou Reed AND Richard Hell & The Voidoids at the same time! He began as a fan of the Velvet Underground, taping their performances in San Francisco which were later released as "The Quine Tapes." From just a face in the crowd to a rock star in his own right. Thanks Bob!
We do have points in common then...Alice, Bolan, Purple, Led Zep, Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Graaf, Sabbath, Santana, Tull, Heep... And a few hundred more I guess: into prog, punk, psyche, classic rock (The Who & the likes), new wave, new romantic, Cold Wave... And my two heroes: Patti & Jimi of course ...
@@ga5782 They are 100%. Obviously you're musically illiterate. Every punk band was inspired by Lou Reed. He was the link between 60s scene and the beginning of punk. Everyone knows this. Him and The Stooges.
Yeah definitely. I started seeing him live in the 80’s. Some great lyrics lots of fodder with Reagan . New York is a masterpiece. One of many for King Lou!!! An American poet….
I know a bloke who saved for years to go and see his hero Lou Reed live. Got the tickets, hotel and flights. Turned up at the gig. The hype train is whistling full speed. Lou looks out at the crowd, says "Fuck it" and walked off stage He still says it was worth it
Listening to to his Music there is (are) so many levels to the simplicity. The lyrics are simple, lyrical, political, humorous, existential.....so not simple but to the point on so many levels....I love his rhythm playing......I miss em.
Lou Reed felt the style like no one else. The way he sang can hardly be called singing. Almost all of his songs sound like prose stories. That's why I love him.
@@jonjones820 Doug Yule sang lead vocals on half or more of Loaded. Lou is one of my fave all time regardless. One thing he could do proper that Dylan never really did (Dylan is my fave all time artist), is compassion.
It's so great to see and hear the legendary Robert Quine (RIP). One of most underrated rock guitarists of all time. If you're a guitarist and you're reading this, go listen to everything he ever recorded. You won't be sorry. He was the master of the Stratocaster.
@@LaughingStock_ It's absolutely brilliant how Quine arranges the two guitar breaks in "Blank Generation." The first one is more composed, the second one is more primitive-exactly the opposite of what you're supposed to do. Therein lies his genius.
Been watching Lou, Tom Petty, Joe Strummer, Stuart Adamson, David Bowie and Prince tonight, god bless those guys, I can't believe they're no longer here.
Man, Jim Carroll was all that and then some, my favorite poet. I have so enjoyed this concert, it takes me back. My life was saved by Rock and Roll. Thanks, Chris
I was born in 1944 in Passaic NJ But in 1984, I was not a Fan of Lou Reed. I saw many Concerts at the Capitol Theater while growing up in that area and throughout my life, my musical interests changed and Lou became one of my favorite musicians! Lou is a hard core Rock & Roll Animal and he is missed but His music will live on!
I was a teenage punk when the Challenger space shuttle exploded on takeoff. I called the radio station and asked the DJ to play Satellite of Love. That's when he told me I was a teenage punk. Then he hung up.
I was at this show. Went to college not too far from Passaic. An unknown rap group named Run DMC was the opening act. 8 songs were broadcast live on WNEW in New York. Great show! My ears rang for 3 days.
A lot of people in the audience had almost never heard rap, there was more than one act that opened for Lou. All New York rap. ..I was at the show too, it made an impression on me. I was 23.
I agree, and I think the keyboardist is pretty good too. As for the drummer, I guess when you start out with Maureen Tucker it's all downhill after that. Seriously these songs don't require anything fancy on the drums, but it can be said Reed had a band with Hunter S. Thompson and John Cazale look-a-likes in it.
@@gillesbourgeois5348 I didn't say I disliked his playing. If you re-read it I was joking about Mo Tucker but I agreed with you his songs don't require any showy drumming.
I just finally got around to photographing all of my concert tickets that I've managed to save over the last 48 years. Now I'm cropping and processing them, one at a time, so, of course, I play some music to entertain myself while I work - What a treat to realize that, as I'm working on the ticket stub for Lou Reed from 1984 at DAR Constitution Hall, in Washington D.C., I'm listening to a concert from the same tour!! Thanks for uploading this great show for all of us to enjoy. I wish The Tube of You hadn't jammed 40 million adds on to it, but I'll struggle through while I can.
Lou Reed is sadly missed. He wrote about subjects nobody else would. Venus in Furs, Dirty Boulevard, Street Hasel.Love his interviews with the press. Love album Animal Seronade brilliant live , nothing up these sleeves , no tapes or loops. Great live. Nobody yet has taken your place.
In Oz we call it 'social isolation' for over 65 year olds like me. But there are many good sides to this like re-visiting my hippie past & the incredible musical renewal times we went through. Wow, wouldn't have want to miss it... so rich!
For some reason when I was in my twenties and younger, I never thought about seeing Lou Reed live. He's such a tremendous songwriter. He wrote so many great songs that got covered by Mott The Hoople, David Bowie and Iggy Pop. It's so great watching him play guitar. I was listening to "Rock and Roll Animal" today on CD and it sounded so good.
he's a great drummer but you can tell he has no idea how to play this kind of music...should have got maureen tucker back...it ruins the vibe to hear a bunch of rimshots and big 80's drumming on these songs
It’s odd, when David died I had immediate mass grief. I finally realized in 2023 what a great loss Lou was, what a giant. I mean I was introduced to Lou much earlier than David. I even had a chance to help peel off the banana sticker, I think me and my friend shared that unique experience lol. Lou is now much more in my conscience. Was listening to Lady Godiva’s Operation several times today. I just never thought of a world without Lou and David, then it happened. I hate the passing of time. Well greetings to all my fellow Lou fans, be well.
I’m so glad to rediscover this show along with Lou at this point in time and his excellent band. I had a wise cousin take my fairly clueless young teenaged ass to see this same group around this time at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The scales fell off my ears and eyes. Thanks Chas. Hope you’re bumming a cigarette off Quine on the other side. 🎵🎸😊
31 March 2020-- watching from home during the coronavirus crisis, too! Dynamite show. (Someone below says Lou's in an unusually good mood here. I've never seen him live, but I'm sure enjoying the hell out of this!)
The album Rock and Roll Animal is one of the greatest works of music ever recorded. Lou Reed was obviously a genius and his entire career is a gift to humanity.
Rock and Roll Animal is exactly that, certainly top 10 album of all time, live or studio. For sheer raw energy and drive, hard to top and those left & right guitar solos, wow. This concert is bloody great too, and the lady who introduces it is a treat to watch flaunt off stage !
Such a great document...such a HUGE creative mind. Fabulous Lou. I discovered him with "Lou Reed Live" when I was a a kid from Brussels. I just pinpoint him as a GREAT man. Composer, singer, actor...Hat's off!!!
I know someone said they dont like it but I think this version of Street Hassle is genuinely amazing. The contrast of a drag queen dying of an overdose lyrical subject matter with the upbeat groove is so fucking authentic and that is what Lou brought to us all. Authenticity.
Lou is Reed is truly one fine citizen,Martial Law basically sums up everyday life,Lou’s introduction to this song is so comical...what great mood Lou is in on this performance,obviously there will only be one Lou Reed ever,love you Lou for eternity,thanks for keeping me just slightly sane.
Just when you're totally smoked by a performance you look up and see 788 people gave it the thumbs down. I'm thinking ...."Where was I in 1984? Why couldn't I have been there?" I'm sitting here filled with regret that I never saw this man live, then I notice almost a thousand people thought...."Nope, this is a thumbs down." Is there a way to just redirect these folks to an Abba video and keep them away from us???
Lou was incredibly beautiful in his youth and his music was amongst the most honest and artful of any time. Lou was an artist and what he did will always stand, Think of what records cam out in 1965 and then remember that The Velvet Underground's first album was was issues. Heroin. Femme Fatale, Black Angels Death Song. He lives on in his music

Nonsense! He had a long and varied music career. And he was the Leader and main songwriter for the the VU! One of the strangest and unique rock bands of all time that influenced tons of musicians. Just for that he was a success! And he wrote Sweet Jane and White Light, White Heat. Two rock classics! He was like the Godfather of Punk.
@Burr Anderson What are you talking about? He fronted the band that started a thousand bands! He wrote Walk on the Wild Side, Heroin, Perfect Day, Sweet Jane, I'm Waiting for the Man, Satellite of Love, Coney Island Baby, Pale Blue Eyes, Street Hassle, Venus in Furs... Some of the best rock songs ever made
Lou Gives the ambiance of the NY-Jersey-Philly area in rock music that makes me want to be right there in the city, maybe dreaming I'd get out of there one day, but not really wanting to.....like the early Springsteen and very few others. This is the music that makes me feel passion and nostalgia all wrapped up in neon lights reflecting off the puddles on the pavement on a crisp autumn night. Music is the best mode of traveling in the mind. Anyone relate to what I just shhhhhpewed out ? lol
Thanks for posting this! It is a very good concert and as I picked up on Lou Reed's music in the 1980s, I dig hearings songs from his '80s gems such as NEW SENSATIONS, THE BLUE MASK, and LEGENDARY HEARTS. Extra appreciation to the filmmakers, who spare us the dreaded audience shots that break the flow of too many concert movies. I want to see Lou Reed and the band, not the people who paid to see them, and that's what they show us.
The interplay between Lou, Robert & Fernando is amazing. This was probably Lou's best solo band. And I'm digging the funk version of Street Hassle. Holy shit, I'm shocked it worked so well in that setting.
3/7/2017 thank you so so very much for posting this!!! I enjoyed this concert immensely. I've been a fan of Lou Reed's since 1966. I miss him terribly. How I wish he were still with us. 🙁I never got to see him live . This was as good as it gets thought! Lou was SO, SO talented.
Saw the lineup that was part of the ‘A Rock’n’Roll Animal’ live album in South Australia with a very raw AC/DC as support (pre-Bon Scott). Steve Hunter on guitar, Prakash John on bass, Pennti Glann on drums. Awesome show. Lou with bleach blond hair, aviators, black leather peaked cap, leather pants and jacket and white tee shirt. They were the business.

He plays on Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend" album. Ivan Julian, the other Voidoids guitar hero, toured with him for that tour.
He was really cool. Like Hunter S. Thompson - but on guitar.
I was wondering who that was, he's really good! The whole band is great.

There has never been, and never again will be, a songwriter who so fully explored the chords D Major and G Major.

Did see Lou Reed six times between 1972 and 2007. The last concert was the Berlin tour, Just great!!
Somehow I didn't expect mid-80s Lou to be this sharp. He is in real fighting shape here, and the band is hot.
Yeah definitely. I started seeing him live in the 80’s. Some great lyrics lots of fodder with Reagan . New York is a masterpiece. One of many for King Lou!!! An American poet….
Much better than when I saw him in the 70s. The band is tight
Same, he was in a mess back then 😒
I know a bloke who saved for years to go and see his hero Lou Reed live. Got the tickets, hotel and flights.
Turned up at the gig.
The hype train is whistling full speed.
Lou looks out at the crowd, says "Fuck it" and walked off stage
He still says it was worth it
That bloke is a complete and utter tool.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Absolutely, I would do anything to see Lou even say fuck it!

Been applying to colleges in the area... Came across Syracuse and realized Lou Reed was an alumni. Safe to say I made my decision.
Ah, yes, the good old days when concert footage focused on the players instead of constantly cutting to audience shots. Great show all around!
Settle down gaybo
Man, Jim Carroll was all that and then some, my favorite poet. I have so enjoyed this concert, it takes me back. My life was saved by Rock and Roll. Thanks, Chris

1974, 18 years old, Rock and Roll Animal tour, and Lou was my man ever after. Thanks, Lou.

So damn good, I live in the village right near him for years and never ran into him but thank God I saw him play at least 15 times in NYC.
Sounds too good to be true! Lucky you Lauren!
I used to see him with Laurie Anderson at Canal Bar (a restaurant- then became Don Hill). Catching him in the wild was extraordinary.

In Oz we call it 'social isolation' for over 65 year olds like me. But there are many good sides to this like re-visiting my hippie past & the incredible musical renewal times we went through. Wow, wouldn't have want to miss it... so rich!
I dont know too much about Lou Reed. What l know makes me love him. Thanks, Lou Reed for your songs and knowledge. Thanks for your soul.
The vibes of New work art scenario, on stage one of the best, Lou Reed ways so cool, anytime I get into it I am pleased
Don't rest in peace, Lou. Keep playing the best rock & roll wherever you are...
For some reason when I was in my twenties and younger, I never thought about seeing Lou Reed live. He's such a tremendous songwriter. He wrote so many great songs that got covered by Mott The Hoople, David Bowie and Iggy Pop. It's so great watching him play guitar. I was listening to "Rock and Roll Animal" today on CD and it sounded so good.
Pale Blue eyes!!!!!❤️❤️❤️🇨🇭
Saw Lou in 2006 Edinburgh playhouse
@@popatyourecords
That must have been amazing.
The drummer, LENNY FERRARO on how he ended up in tour with Lou:
was or is that you??
he's a great drummer but you can tell he has no idea how to play this kind of music...should have got maureen tucker back...it ruins the vibe to hear a bunch of rimshots and big 80's drumming on these songs
Brilliant
Bad Boy . Is a Legend. Bay Tiz.😎💪🤪
@@c_spn2444 I guess Lou should have spoken to you before he made his decision.
Just found this. I was at this show - great show!! So happy it's caught on video!
Deeply touching. Incredible performance.
Yesssssss!!! ❤️🇨🇭
Quem é do Brasil e curte Lou Reed deixa um like!
lou never forgot the lyrics he wrote them keef did a cover of waiting for my man i do not think lou reed did covers
There are no more rock stars like Lou. He was truly one of a kind.
Yup!
Dylan is the last man standing. Lou and Bowie long gone, eternal still. Iggy is still with us to. So we got half a tank alive.
We lost Lou, Bowie, Ronson and Lemmy. Iggy, iggy is all that's left.
@@coreymacdonald7696 No! Van Morrison is incredible. Elvis Costello the same and several others.

Much derided 80's Lou was still way above most of his peers! No doubt about it after watching this amazing show!
he was great live through the 80s at least
this guy stinks
It’s odd, when David died I had immediate mass grief. I finally realized in 2023 what a great loss Lou was, what a giant. I mean I was introduced to Lou much earlier than David. I even had a chance to help peel off the banana sticker, I think me and my friend shared that unique experience lol. Lou is now much more in my conscience. Was listening to Lady Godiva’s Operation several times today. I just never thought of a world without Lou and David, then it happened. I hate the passing of time. Well greetings to all my fellow Lou fans, be well.
same. Rest in peace to both of those amazing musicians.
I’m so glad to rediscover this show along with Lou at this point in time and his excellent band. I had a wise cousin take my fairly clueless young teenaged ass to see this same group around this time at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The scales fell off my ears and eyes. Thanks Chas. Hope you’re bumming a cigarette off Quine on the other side. 🎵🎸😊
Excellent ! Quel plaisir de revoir Lou en si grande forme, c'est vraiment l'un de ses tous meilleurs concerts.
il chante merveilleusement
31 March 2020-- watching from home during the coronavirus crisis, too! Dynamite show. (Someone below says Lou's in an unusually good mood here. I've never seen him live, but I'm sure enjoying the hell out of this!)
The album Rock and Roll Animal is one of the greatest works of music ever recorded. Lou Reed was obviously a genius and his entire career is a gift to humanity.
Rock and Roll Animal is exactly that, certainly top 10 album of all time, live or studio. For sheer raw energy and drive, hard to top and those left & right guitar solos, wow.
This concert is bloody great too, and the lady who introduces it is a treat to watch flaunt off stage !
also live take no prisoners is amazing ... it really puts you in lou's speed addled mind
Yes and thanks to Steve Hunter too
Such a great document...such a HUGE creative mind. Fabulous Lou.
I discovered him with "Lou Reed Live" when I was a a kid from Brussels. I just pinpoint him as a GREAT man. Composer, singer, actor...Hat's off!!!
He was quite the Taiji player too
Lou, unmeasurable talent, best Lou video paired with velvet redux, oh yeah, and this keyboard guy, whatta trip!
I know someone said they dont like it but I think this version of Street Hassle is genuinely amazing. The contrast of a drag queen dying of an overdose lyrical subject matter with the upbeat groove is so fucking authentic and that is what Lou brought to us all. Authenticity.
I love the new sensations albums. Fun. And yet Lou. Very underated. Down at the Arcade is such a great song....
I find myself walking around singing average guy Kids look at me a bit weird 😅
Love you so much, Lou! Glad I got to see you perform!
The band is so tight and Lou killed it. Also a big thank to the sound engineer for the punchy and crystal clear audio mix.
Lou is Reed is truly one fine citizen,Martial Law basically sums up everyday life,Lou’s introduction to this song is so comical...what great mood Lou is in on this performance,obviously there will only be one Lou Reed ever,love you Lou for eternity,thanks for keeping me just slightly sane.
One Constant: Amazing Fernando Saunders. Thanks for this post.
Thank You! RIP Mr. Lou Reed
I'm Digging this so much right now, the Bass player is epic!, Why have i never listened to Lou Before?
You and me both!
you have been stupid I was smart with 15, now 62 greats Joe play Lous songs again young peopl think new sound?
Just when you're totally smoked by a performance you look up and see 788 people gave it the thumbs down. I'm thinking ...."Where was I in 1984? Why couldn't I have been there?" I'm sitting here filled with regret that I never saw this man live, then I notice almost a thousand people thought...."Nope, this is a thumbs down." Is there a way to just redirect these folks to an Abba video and keep them away from us???
Unforgettable Lou Reed!
Thank God we have this to watch and remind us what a jem we had n lost . RIP Lou
5th
Gracias por tanto rock an roll Lou
Some sweet sweet songs on here. Love love love Lou's laid back style of playing, he makes playing look so effortless.
many good memmories back in the seventies listening his music, still enjoying hiw music and his voice..
This is really good stuff. I like New Sensation a helluva lot! Plus, all of Lou's other gems here shine really well. Great upload!
My favorite Lou's show ever. New Sensations is killer in live !
Lou was incredibly beautiful in his youth and his music was amongst the most honest and artful of any time. Lou was an artist and what he did will always stand, Think of what records cam out in 1965 and then remember that The Velvet Underground's first album was was issues. Heroin. Femme Fatale, Black Angels Death Song. He lives on in his music
1967!

Nonsense! He had a long and varied music career. And he was the Leader and main songwriter for the the VU!
One of the strangest and unique rock bands of all time that influenced tons of musicians. Just for that he was a success!
And he wrote Sweet Jane and White Light, White Heat. Two rock classics!
He was like the Godfather of Punk.
@Burr Anderson What are you talking about? He fronted the band that started a thousand bands! He wrote Walk on the Wild Side, Heroin, Perfect Day, Sweet Jane, I'm Waiting for the Man, Satellite of Love, Coney Island Baby, Pale Blue Eyes, Street Hassle, Venus in Furs... Some of the best rock songs ever made
@Burr Anderson ?
Lou Gives the ambiance of the NY-Jersey-Philly area in rock music that makes me want to be right there in the city, maybe dreaming I'd get out of there one day, but not really wanting to.....like the early Springsteen and very few others. This is the music that makes me feel passion and nostalgia all wrapped up in neon lights reflecting off the puddles on the pavement on a crisp autumn night. Music is the best mode of traveling in the mind. Anyone relate to what I just shhhhhpewed out ? lol
@Burr Anderson OH, Burr...if you only knew! lol Thanks for the advice.
@Burr Anderson OH Burr, if you only knew! Lol Thanks for the advice.
@Burr Anderson sorry...got my wires crossed....nothing new.
@@stellaspencer3335 i totally get you. ❤
I so like him, I wish he lived cleverly right next door, oh yes
Beatiful music!, Nicely interpretations of wards, thanks for sharing.
I love when he added that bass player with that funky dry sound. It really his songs pop. Almost a Jaco Pastorius effect.
Thanks for posting this! It is a very good concert and as I picked up on Lou Reed's music in the 1980s, I dig hearings songs from his '80s gems such as NEW SENSATIONS, THE BLUE MASK, and LEGENDARY HEARTS. Extra appreciation to the filmmakers, who spare us the dreaded audience shots that break the flow of too many concert movies. I want to see Lou Reed and the band, not the people who paid to see them, and that's what they show us.
i was at this Concert at the Capital Theatre , i use to live in Passaic on Pennington Ave .
Well this chosen for me on a, Rainy , rainy day. Bloody fantastic concert, 😃tfs🎧😘👍🏻
Two hours of live lou reed is what i need.
The interplay between Lou, Robert & Fernando is amazing. This was probably Lou's best solo band. And I'm digging the funk version of Street Hassle. Holy shit, I'm shocked it worked so well in that setting.
Lou lo ascolto da più di 30 anni è un artista rock dei più raffinati.
Leider hast du Steve Hunter nicht gesehen, Rocknroll Animal he was the best baby
My God, how I miss Lou. What an amazing Artist. (
Me too. ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇭
3/7/2017 thank you so so very much for posting this!!! I enjoyed this concert immensely. I've been a fan of Lou Reed's since 1966. I miss him terribly. How I wish he were still with us. 🙁I never got to see him live . This was as good as it gets thought! Lou was SO, SO talented.
Thank goodness for UA-cam...They provide us with all theses amazing videos!
Saw the lineup that was part of the ‘A Rock’n’Roll Animal’ live album in South Australia with a very raw AC/DC as support (pre-Bon Scott). Steve Hunter on guitar, Prakash John on bass, Pennti Glann on drums. Awesome show. Lou with bleach blond hair, aviators, black leather peaked cap, leather pants and jacket and white tee shirt. They were the business.
Lucky man. I would have loved to see that tour.
Those We're The Days 🎶
Esistono filmati di rock n' roll animal e di American Poet?
I wish Peti Glann was on this... that open hi hat in every downbeat is distracting.
brilliant rock! we love it and want to see your concert in Sydney.
Much better than any of the "lives" that are being broadcast on UA-cam. Thank you very much for this great post.
The show is timeless. The girl announcing the act at 0:45 is a solid 1984.
Ha totally, so unnecessary and goofy
@@Pthunderful don't be so tough, dude!)
25-30 years ago never knew whom Lou Reed was, until a guy I served with active duty laid down a special vinyl album yep him. thank you Sonny Lints
"Sonny Lints", great name!
Robert Quine - a master guitarist, wow. So glad I got to see him live in Sthlm long time ago with Lou Reed and the band. They were superb.
YOU ARE JUST A GIFT FOR THE WOMEN OF THIS WORLD LOU
