6) Lou Reed - Ride Sally Ride - live in Paris, 1974

[KingOfUm]

One of my favorites from this album, I don't care what anyone says about 'Sally Can't Dance' they can criticize and moan about the dated production, what really matters is the song itself, and that album has plenty of amazing songs.

[KingOfUm]

@edo8200 Yeah, a lot of musicians criticize their own less-appreciated works if others do, which is unfortunate.

[edo8200]

@KingOfUm well,certainly this is not the best album of lou,rock'n'roll heart isn't so fantastic,but really is not shit haha

[KingOfUm]

@edo8200 I actually really enjoy that album personally, though it does have some dullards. Still, neither of these albums are any match for 'Coney Island Baby'. I'm crazy for that one, even it's session outtakes are amazing.

[edo8200]

@KingOfUm in my opinion the best lou's album transformer and berlin,but yeah coney islend kicks ass too

[KingOfUm]

@edo8200 Totally, you can listen to those two albums all the way through with a single sore spot. His debut is pretty weak I think, but I love 'The Bells' and 'Street Hassle', though most fans seem to dislike them.

[mintybartlam]

@KingOfUm agree with you about "The Bells". Why do so many people hate it? It's brilliant.

[KingOfUm]

@mintybartlam I've always asked myself that too. I guess most of his fans just wanted another 'Transformer', but Reed's always been about progress, I personally feel that if he didn't try something new every project it would've been artistic suicide for him and his music would've gone flat. I don't mean that as a criticism toward him, I just think he would've hated catering to his audience that way. That, to me, is what makes him all the better.

[mperry926]

am just looking for a song called 'Ride Salle Ride'

[UTubeIsTrackingYou]

@mperry926 "Mustang Sally" by Mack Rice (1965), covered by many other artists, two of the best-known versions are by Wilson Pickett (1967) and The Commitments (1991).

[jodyansley]

Lou Reed kicked ass back in the day...What were you doing?

[TheIsay21]

The Paris set was a bad performance of his songs but of the Lou Reed of journalists' nightmares- it was one of his best.

lou and dylan out of scale... two in a millon of voices....

[whathelephant1251]

i don't think their voices are the best thing about them. they are both EXTRAORDINARY lyricists for real.

[lulo2049]

of course men, both are talking about life and emotions, the real life !

[whathelephant1251]

indeed.... they are musical gods.

[BelleandSebby]

Lou Reed can be such a bitch, I love him!

[MUSICprinses]

lou rules!

[vegastr0n]

Classic ass-kicking, high on Amphetamines... Lou! Right on! ;) hehe

[KineticRic]

He was more high on heroin. I think he only played with Amphetamines during teh Velvet Underground days.

[ajps28]

huh, he was a speed FREAK by this time.

[KineticRic]

Im not saying your wrong, but whats your source?

Maybe you read something I didn't.

[ajps28]

i read somewhere that in some boigraphy book he says that this was a perid of heavy drug use specially speed

[BlachenProductions]

[pbl1]

When, after this, did he start dying his hair black?

[ajps28]

black is his natural hair

[tyenmike]

Its Really dark brown. Its impossible to have natural jet black hair, yes even chinese

[BuchassChourico]

Lou fuk|ng Reed!!!oh yeah!!

[bintjes]

this is my favorite lou period . 1974 must have been quite something , with Bowie freaking out as well !

[tautavel]

It was said that he was a speed freak at that time when his marriage broke down.

May be it was part of the act. Have a look at the Sydney interview of the same period.

[4banksd]

all these videos from Paris you posted are amazing - i've never seen Lou like this before - he must have been really fucked on drugs during this tour

[springett07]

hahahaha nice 1

[Boshanks]

LOL. fuck yes.

[gingerclove]

"Hey, shut up!" I love him.
