  • NIce to see Lou smile :-)

  • fabulous....... wot more can i say

  • Love this song, love Lou Reed and as for that sax.......magic!

  • Wow, no one has commented since I last did 4 months ago??? LOL

  • I agree. Stunning track. Why doesn't everyone else love this? I prefer the studio version though - doesn't need the sax/complications. Nevertheless - mindblowingly great.

  • MY FAVOURITE LOU REED SONG!!!

  • Really great version & recording, marvellous background choir! Interesting haircuts. Thank you for posting. Did Lou Reed play any other songs at the Secret Policeman's Third Ball? Is there any recording available?

  • this comes from a commercial videotape as only Lou Reed song, you can tape this from youtube with youtubegrabber i gues

  • Oh, just found that out: at SussudioPGFan

    there is "voices of freedom" posted from this show (the Secret Policeman's Third Ball 1987; featuring Peter Gabriel and Youssou N'Dour)

  • a really clean version of that song is on the boxed set from the '90s. Great song.

  • @Danlewinsky the song is on the DVD of the concert

  • @Danlewinsky

    The (official) DVD has two songs this one and "Voices Of Freedom".

  • Is that Peter Gabriel playing the keys?

  • Yes it is. Isn't it magnificient.

  • This was one of the better songs from Mistrial. Leather squeak, bootheals clicking..you can just picture it!

  • in my opinion it is one of the weakest albums lou reed ever made. "tell it to your heart" is a good and sweet song though.

    his best albums in the 80's are "the blue mask" and "new york" i think.

    "street hassle" from '78 is unbeatable, so is "berlin".

  • the sax player is andy mackay from roxy music

  • NO, actually the saxophone player is Ricky Bell, who played sax for the Michael Stanley Band before this.

  • when was this great performance filmed?

  • 1986 0r 1987

  • The studio version is terrible? Like everything else on Mistrial? Are you nuts? That's one of the best albums I've heard from anyone!

  • The studio version is terrible, like everything else on Mistrial,but this is lovely. The sax player should rethink that haircut mind you

  • Very interesting version of this, again and again, very beautiful song!
