5) Lou Reed - Sally can't Dance - live in Paris, 1974

[albertobsn]

That's a bloody fucking rocking thing! uuuuuuuh!

[EddieDaRooster]

This is totally killer. We oughtta be thankful we have any footage of this kind of primo performance. Neither Lou nor the guys are crooners, they're rock and rollers--Listen to this freakin jam. Can you imagine being there and seeing dis shibt up live for real? Blow your mind!

[CitizenGatsby]

Fuckin' A! This is classic, down and dirty rock and roll. Too bad the quality is not a little better. Lou's band here was shit hot. I love his ~speed freak jive~dance moves, too. LOL

Thanks for sharing! :)

[TheJohnsonsOfficial]

my names not sally, but i can't fucking dance.

[RobinFresh1]

Timeless rock-n-roll.

[KeithHarperSF]

Oh, this is great stuff; I love this album, even though I know Lou says he loathes it. Thanks for posting!

[KingOfUm]

Why are so many people on here even trying to put up a fight against the fucking Jonas Bros? It's so obvious, little kids that listen to that shit don't have a true taste for music yet, so of course they'll be flocking to wherever the most coins are spent in promotion. We Lou Reed fans don't even need to put down the Jonas Bros, we already know what's good (obviously).

[DhieP9]

JONAS CANT SING

[Locust1313]

Jonas Brothers? what a laugh. maybe they have more views because there are like 4 billion more idiots and maybe only 30k cool people on the planet, and the internet, than when this was originally made. Lou will remain one of musics great Greats.

[sonoflambeth]

funky rock from lou.

[mharrin5507]

cocaine's a helluva drug

[slashgalvin]

SALLY CANT DANCE

[foodstampz]

this music from the 60 is pretty horrible..

[JJackAL52]

@foodstampz - it's the sound quality that is lacking here not the music... listen to high quality uploads from the 'Rock n Roll Animal' and 'Lou Reed Live' albums to hear what Lou really sounded like live at this time.

[sonoflambeth]

@foodstampz that was the 70s

[buchananstreet]

hot as hell

[punkrocker1974]

GREAT !!!

[pjturner2008]

Rock on Lou - one of the greatest rock icons of the 20th century

[marky1958]

thanks for posting this , GREAT stuff

[BEnnyQzhu]

lol dude its disgusting the f*ing jonas brothers have 20X the views as this rock god

[notsovelvet]

Yeah but 100 years from now people will still be talkin' about Lou.

Nobody will give a damn about The Jonas Brothers.

[highway61lost]

good point

[slashgalvin]

@notsovelvet AS LONG AS THERE IS N.Y. THERE IS L. R.  and sally cant dance in dublin either

[pupwinder]

@notsovelvet

Too true. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone gives a damn about 'em now?

[Tapsyification]

@notsovelvet Hehe

[TheyCallMeSlimDavy]

@notsovelvet doubtful people will be talking about Jonas brothers 25 years down the line. Legends like Lou will stick around forever...

[armandsdamanhoo]

no need to get mad about it it's just natural

[JJackAL52]

@BEnnyQzhu ... It just shows that it takes 'discriminating' taste in music to appreciate a true artist and brilliant writing. Lou's not music for the masses.

[ih8tbush]

@BEnnyQzhu no disrespect intended, but who cares if the Jonas Brothers have more views? Why is it important to you? Just trying to understand...

[notsovelvet]

This was the first Lou Reed solo record i ever got.

Lou is amazing.

[LSMuglia]

me too!!! Amzing

[tsunamisgirl91]

Oh my god, how awesome! How in the WORLD did you get this footage?

- Ken Ramstead (my dad whom I adore)

And you better answer this you =.= I want to know too

[ajps28]

this performance is so cool and hes so high is not even funny

*****

[freya331]

i read somewhere that this song is about edie sedgwick (though in a completely different light than "femme fatale")... could be true, i guess...

[lulo2049]

lou rules !!! he is the best !!!

[jubbly1969]

just pure fucking iconic!

[vegastr0n]

Haha, spun out of his fuckin' mind on Speed. Love it!

[greysuunday]

que importa que este demasiado drogado, que importa su forma de cantar (se sabe que lou reed no posee la mejor voz del mundo) lo que importa es que es un compositor de puta madre, y mescla la musica y la poesia que sus discos parecen peliculas (escuchen berlin si no) dejen de fijarse en lo demas y valoren el arte

[emrdbabyox]

The Rockets did this one better than Lou. Anyone know what ever happened to the Rockets? I think they were out of Detroit.

[nikjagger]

lou insuper  bad shape , too much speed , living with rachel ( the chick with dick )

still i love this iron cross period .

best wishes from peru

[henpage]

its still fucking rad

[freebaggin101]

i've never quite understood this song, Sally gets raped and found in a trunk of a Ford (presumably dead)in about the 2nd verse, but she ends up dancing with Picaso's iligitimate mistress at the end of the song... anyway it's another Lou Reed classic!!

[splarsen]

Lou Reed!! Rock n' roll!-

[DanielRibeiroFlores]

you guys don't get it do you? or am i getting the wrong impression from you

[bintjes]

she can't dance but you sure can't sing !

[bintjes]

but i love it still , no harm ! if only i could have been there ...

[Bowiefanperson]

I love his voice. It's so Awsome. He can sing fine. It's very Powerful, but he's not yelling like a preacher.

[anandos]

makes more sense with horns.

[emrd]

The Rockets did it better.

[forsakengardens]

backing vocals lack the necessary bite or the right vocal inclinations. Sounds like Lou's vocals are a bit too far down in the mix as well, Its still a great video though!

[rubenc83]

His band can sing better than him

[Snacka]

I actually thought the backing vocal were kinda lame :P

[burzum2]

DONT LEARN LOU HOW TO SING HIS SONGS !

[burzum2]
