You Tube won't let me subscribe! quote: 'You have too many subscriptions compared to the number of your subscribers.' Well, what they missed is that music is my life, and I keep up with my 3,000+ subscriptions. In the meantime, I can't subscribe unless 'I delete some subscriptions'. Fat chance!

[Eoinposse]

I'm 16 and love this song.

[LaniRockster]

Great song ,remember hearing it on the King Biscuit Flower hour when it came out.KLOL Houston.Crash in your Dash.

[bartonone2005]

The first time I heard this song it was a revelation. 36+ years later, it still sounds great and still makes me move. This song just screams NYC. I no longer live there but this song gives me the feelings. Lou Reed is a national treasure.

[xSolarFlare15x]

Gotta love that riff. =D

[MsLumbago]

@xSolarFlare15x wonderful. Talk about nice riff. Excellent...

[lefrauens]

This album lit up my high school-I was playing this and of course soon everyone else did!

[daven58100]

I don't know why they didn't release the "Lou Reed Live" and "Rock and Roll Animal" in one package. It was the same perfomance.

[ItsFazsha]

Dick Wagner on lead guitar. Later went to Alice Cooper.

[AMOR53]

The musicians were Pentti Glan (drums) and Prakash John (bass) of the contemporary Alice Cooper band, Ray Colcord (keyboards), and Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter on guitars. The album was recorded live on December 21, 1973 (1973-12-21), at Howard Stein's Academy of Music in New York.

[Christacle]

If you wish to liven up your day try Johnny Winter captured Live particularly Highway 61 Revisited.

[kaninz]

I like this version from Rocka nd Roll Animal best. The guitar track is some of the best, funkiest, boognastiest ever!

[Mynster95]

yeah it does the number perferct =)

[brianflyinsolo60]

the photo is wrong but this is the version from rock and roll animal

[Mynster95]

i agree i just dont like the original photo..

[PAULLONDEN]

@Mynster95 Too feminine for ya ?;-] Get over it.that's the way he fucking was during this 'Sweet Jane' phase.

Personaly I might find this photograph a bit off hand, those giant pilot shades were passé even before '74. and became even less cool when you see assholes like 'Slush" sporting them on each and every fucking occasion.

[miggon]

@brianflyinsolo60 The LPs "Rock n Roll Animal" and "Lou Reed Live" were culled from the same live concert recordings but released as separate single albums. SSoo

[miggon]

@brianflyinsolo60 The LPs "Rock n Roll Animal" and "Lou Reed Live" were culled from the same live concert recordings but released as separate single albums. So, while you're correct about the track, this album cover is at least related ... in its way.

[cullions3]

the photo is all wrong. the rock n roll animal live version of "rock and roll" was originally on the Lou Reed" Rock n Roll Animal." The cover photo looks like he was a glam rocker, with makeup and the David Bowie look like from the 70's. This version may be from "Lou Reed Live," but I dunno...I'll still take the version on the Rock n Roll live album...

[Mynster95]

i totally agree. I also have the cover. But i just dont like... :) then i took this... like it or hate :)

[BR00074L]

@cullions3 Lou reed live and rock and roll animal are the same show  2 lp's

[johnniemac62]

post vu

[ForbiddenVegetable]

I thought this was The Velvet Underground?

[Mynster95]

no no i'm sure it's lou reed...!

[ForbiddenVegetable]

Isn't Lou Reed the lead singer of The Velvet Underground?

[Mynster95]

Is he? I don't know :P I just have the album :P and there is it only lou reed .. :S

[xxxfiretear]

Velvet did a version of the song (on the album 'loaded') before Lou Reed went solo.

Animal/Academy is a great version.

[palataru23]

gneeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Mynster95]

what?

[phioshin]

Great!!!! The best version of this song

[albo87se]

[lonelyboy03]
