I saw Cale perform this live at CBs the day before the album was recorded. Possibly the best show of my life (and I've seen a lot in 30 years). Guitarist was incredible.
I envy you. I got to know Cale early 80´s and went to see him live (and still do if possible) and these shows were bloody awesome.
Suposedly back in the 70´s his shows were even freakier, decapting chicken on stage (the famous "Croyden incident") or having sex on stage with a showroom puppet.
Such a shame these gigs waren´t filmed.
Then maybe some youngsters would get a clue what Rock´n Roll used to be.
But then, human intellegance isn´t what it used to be either!
@ForARide I saw him during this period, too, and I've loved his solo stuff ever since; more interesting, I think, than what Lou has done, though Lou's done some magnificent stuff, like "New York". Anyway I saw Cale at the Ritz in NYC in like 80 or 81 and when Andy Warhol walked in with his entourage, well, I'll just say it's still a special memory.
This is all about truth. What else can we say.

Wow, I used to have this LP until I lost it in a divorce 20 years ago. :(
It blew me away and I couldn't understand why it wasn't more popular. Edgy as hell.

This caught him at the height of his epicness, he sort of went weird and druggy in the eighties.

I was there. They had these John Cale posters tacked up all over Bleeker Street.
John wore a hospital get up and played guitar. I especially remember the cover of Memphis Tenn.
