I liked "High in the City". My big bro was a Lou Fan and me being all of 12 Years old was a Springsteen fan. I thought all Lou did was talk, couldnt sing... One day I poped my brothers "new Sensations" tape in my walkman and played it from beginning to end and......fell in love with it! That album kicked of a rather hard core apreciation for LOU REED!.... Never looked back!
hands down the best live version. so many times overloud keyboard ruins the mix. also lou fixes his harley/gpc amendment, and really flows --esp. toward the end where fernando clearly pockets him on to t he finish. nice.
The guitarist is Chieli Minucci and the drummer is J.T. Lewis. In the 80s and 90s they were both part of a highly successful smooth-jazz outfit called Special EFX, with George Jinda also on guitar. Their music was, of course, 360 degrees removed from this!
"New sensations" is a fantastic album. Now a days every body just love all the widest known Reed-tunes (like Bowies, The Doors etc best tunes., but "New sensations" is one of those albums, where you could sense his work with the music. So eloquent. Havent anybody got some of the studio tracks from the cd's to upload?? Beest regards.
It really is a cool album, for the mid-80s, especially. There's a number of good cuts on there, including "My Friend George," "Doing the Things That We Want To," "What Becomes A Legend," the title track, and "Turn To Me." Maybe someone out there can name their favorites?
@monster4josh I personally LOVE "My friend George", "Doin' the things that we want to" , "What becomes a legend most" and "High in the city". It's maybe one of his best albums, it's a shame he rarely plays it live nowadays.
What a treat.... great song... wish I had been at that concert.

Fernando Saunders makes me want to set my bass on fire and throw it out the window.

Sometimes, Lou Reed doesn't fail to produce high comedy.

He's obviously a new yorker who knows a good cause!
As far as the redneck thing, lets not forget that Johnny B. Good was a country boy...Lou would agree. There were lots of rockers at this event.
