This is part of the pathetic part of Lou's career - he was a speed addict and instead of helping him his management put a superb collection of studio musicians behind him and sent him on tour, addled by speed. Rock N Roll Animal is precisely the same and thereby ranks as perhaps the most repulsive musical work ever constructed. If you morons can't tell that Reed is methed out in this footage, you're blind.
Look at how thin he was! He was in a phase where he went more glamorous than ever and acted as the Iggy/Jagger frontman. That disappeared once he quit shooting speed and drinking and I think consistency returned to his music. In the 70s he'd cut a very good LP and usually follow it up with a dud.
Bxl pour toujours!

@TybeeTed Its the best live album ever recorded. Hunter, Pakrash and Wagner where some of the best backing musicians Lou ever had.
