Brilliant. Your enitre 83&84 series is a wonderful documentation of an extraordinary artist who is tremendously underappreciated. ... Too many long words, I know. I'll just say WOW! ... And, thank you.
No . . . I caught him (with my wife, who wasn't a Cale fan - until then!) at the Enmore Theatre. Many years before that, he played a packed gig at a smallish venue in George Street; it's name escapes me right now. Just Cale and the piano. Brilliant!
I have an old cassette bootlegged off jjj, (or was it jj back then?) from the early eighties, just him and his piano (guitar occasionally). coming off his angry late 70s punk, touring on 'Honi Soit'. i think some of the audience were expecting an electric "band' experience and are a bit dismayed but even so. it is a phenom performance. Fear, Waiting for the man, streets of laredo. looking 4ward to seein him next week at the Enmore...Again!
i fucking love his antics

Cale makes angry cool like no other, He is the Travis Bickle on piano.
Anyone heard of when he decapitaded a live chicken during a performance and some members of his band quit in disgust?
Now thats a five star vid i'd love to see.

Reed is Cale's good friend just as heroin can be your good friend... ;-)

I love the Velvets, but I've always felt that Cale's piano versions captured this song better than the original.

yeah .. . know what you mean! I thought the 'raw' Cale was awesomely powerful - cutting to the core of issues! Enjoy the concert, man!

I really like the '84 version (starts at 4:12).

One of the few covers of WFTM, even by Velvets alumni, that keeps the 8 beats to the bar drumbeat Moe immortalized. :)
