Who says heroin's a killer? We've still got Lou and he's still making cool music, so maybe the drugs aren't all that bad. Sure, he's a bit fucked up in this video, but does it not add to the Lou Reed effect? That's what I thought.
I'd like to know more about the "source" info posted by goog1e, who supplied this video. Lou played in Copenhagen on Sept. 19 1973 and Amsterdam the next day, so where's this "Olympia" on Sept 17? And I'm also surprised to see his hair so long, since by December at the latest (when the Rock & Roll Animal LP was recorded in NY) it was way short.
Still on heroin regardless of when or where in the early 70s, though.
agreed that u dont need them and i wouldnt encourage it but do remember sum bands have taken drugs and come out with sum amazing stuff. dont do it but dont look at in a completely negative way

Fantastic piece of film, don't know how and where you got it from, but thank you so much for posting it!
This is a couple of months before Lou Reed cut his hair short and did the New York shows from which Rock'n'Roll Animal was recorded

@GotsTricks probably from a combination of heroine and stage fright

freaking amazing-possibly my favorite ever version. that languid bass line makes the song even more desperate sounding.
