Lou Reed - All Through the Night

[KitesurfschoolSafety]

Which one of the Velvets sang " Jesus, help me find my proper place, help me in my weakness, 'cause I'm falling out of grace" ?

so ethereal

Which album is it on?

[Linda82341]

By now, this reminds me of St. Vincent's and 9/11. Past, present, future. And then the morning, every time.

[musicshake]

tonight he played a superb 10/15 minutes version of this song

[noidentificationable]

@musicshake and a superb version of the bells too :D i was there

[musicshake]

@noidentificationable allora scriviamo in italiano ahahhaa....concertone assurdo!! sono riuscito anche a prendere la scaletta a fine serata :)

[noidentificationable]

@musicshake ha pure cantato meglio che in studio, l'unica pecca è stata una non proprio sobria "who loves the sun" , per il resto è stato uno dei più bei concerti a cui abbia mai assistito...grande lou!!

[musicshake]

@noidentificationable "Who loves the sun" è stata molto travagliata perché Lou non riusciva a dirigere la band ...infatti fosse stato per lui (che ha urato tipo 3 volte "it's the end!!") sarebbe durata meno...e i volumi, il sax non si sentiva. Poi tutto alla grade, esclusa Sweet Jane.....non per colpa loro, ma là si è sentito per l'ennesima volta quanto i limiti sui volumi posti dal comitato anti rumore rovinino i concerti. L'ho trovata bella ma blanda. Cmq quoto...uno dei migliori che ho visto!

[musicshake]

@noidentificationable tra l'alto...sappi che John Cale è in tour durante i prossimi mesi autunnali in europa..so che arriva in svizzera quindi se ogni tanto ti tieni aggiornato/a potrai vedere anche tu se aggiunge date in Italia!

[MarcoMM8]

@musicshake perfavore dimmi la scaletta..cmq grande lou anche a lecce:)

[musicshake]

[octopus59]

Brilliant, Lou.  One of your best.

[ROoooo80]

Such a great sound in this record. 

[wistoncap]

This brings back great memories of eating acid with amazing, intelligent, fun people. Mark you were the best of all of us... and you are missed brother.

[MrJaysync]

i love this song

[hagusmalloy]

@MrJaysync

yessir

[MrVelderado]

poor mess haha, this is wonderful. lou reed drunk the best. i WISH HE WOULD START DRINKING AGAIN, so he could make masterpieces like this

[bienardo]

Lester Bangs reviewed The Bells for Rolling Stone when it came out. He quoted the lines as: 'The city's funny and the country's quiet /  But I wanna know why they don't have a riot'

Great, powerful album, Disco Mystic notwithstanding.

[ziffels]

Lou as David Byrne.  Cool.

[Scriabin28]

@ziffels That's hilarious! Something like saying Mozart ripped off Stockhausen!

[birdhaldol]

i saw him play this live. i took a shot at the reel-to-reel with my 9mm. a good christian stands in the 3'oclock stance versus this jew.

[chickey1861]

you don't know what a good christian is, obviously.

[birdhaldol]

yes i wish i hadn't said that. he had me all upset about that blue mask album song called "the gun".

[chickey1861]

What does "the gun" have to do with this song? And what about your stance vs. "this jew"?

[birdhaldol]

he said he was going to put a gun in my mouth and make me watch him rape my wife.  i think israel is a usa base in the middle east. they modify f-22 stealth fighters. why didn't he sing about the f-22 instead?

[ireallyhatejesus]

you're a fucking moron.

[chickey1861]

let's hope he's a moron....

[chickey1861]

well, that clears that up. you never know when you're talkin to a psycho--or a moron

[MrGrieves1000]

@birdhaldol get ur political shit outa here!

[Ramzilla4u2]

@birdhaldol DUDE! U NEED TO GET A GRIP! U PUT SHAME ON UR GOD!

[louiseduvee]

Oh, Hell yes!

[smerdley]

A great story from a great singer-storyteller.

[CF127]

"The drinks are on the house are on me" Don't quite now what that menas but it is a cool line.

[ireallyhatejesus]

the drinks aren't on the house they're on me.

as in he's paying for them. they aren't free.

[CF127]

He works at the place. The house won't give drinks out, but is okay with employees treating people out of their own pocket.

[hankmalloy]

for once jesus makes some sense

[JDurden33]

@CF127 he is the house, he's buying the drinks - he's as good as the house!

[geoffdoor]

@CF127 you answered your own question its a cool line because thats why the house buys the drinks thats what happens in a bar in NEW YORK

[zzRider]

This is a great album... but I think all of Lou Reed albums are great.

[illusivep]

His words illuminate the power of night.

[ProzorVerloc1]

really true song

[cadin2020]
