One of the coolest bass lines ever. Lou's more of a poet than a singer, but when they pick it up near the end with the guitarist rocking out - WOW. Tight band. Coolest baldy man ever!

The drummer is Fred Maher. I saw this band on the Blue Mask tour when they renamed Studio 54 as the new Ritz and they were amazing. A few years before that I was in a band playing in CBGB and Quine walked by the stage and the other guitar player and I nearly froze. I only recently learned that the very important Harvard philosopher W.V.O. Quine was his uncle.
He played with Scritti Politti, produced and played drums on Lou Reeds New York album. Ditto Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend album. He also co- produced and played on Lloyd Coles debut solo album. Any and all of those albums are shining examples of his work. Wow!
ReallyBigFatLarry,I love you man!.This particular gig blew me away also.manwithnoname,Larry and I must meet with you someday mate !!God Bless all fans of this line up.
Love this version, especially with the splendid band Reed had assembled back then: Fred Maher (drums), Fernando Saunders (bass) and the late great Robert Quine on guitar - surely one of the most underrated players ever. Check them all out on Lou Reed Live in Italy - one of the best recordings of his career.

I came here for Lou's awesome song but keep coming back for that interesting solo mr. QUine performs. It's epic in its emotional feel to it.

Stewart Copeland at the drums???
TheMarianz 2 years ago
no - Stewart Copeland holds his left hand stick in the position of a military snare drummer - and he was blond haired. Similar face though...

@TheMarianz The drummer is Fred Maher. I believe he was only 19 years old at the time.

With all apologizes to Sterling Morrison, I think Robert Quine was the best guitarist Lou Reed played with.
