  • I'm not sure whether this version was recorded in San Francisco or Dallas.

    This is the version from Volume 2, my favorite.

    Feel free to tell me what you know!

  • I think it was in Dallas. On one of the 2 vols. Lou tells the crowd, "Your cowboys won today".

  • Yeah, although I'm not american, i've got some rudimentary NFL knowledge :) He says that at the intro of Waiting for The Man (which I've also uploaded, check it out!) and that one is definetely in Dallas, but there are also some songs recorded in San Francisco. Not sure about this one...

  • Just when I thought this song couldn't get anymore depressing, I see at the bottom "Ads by Google, Justin Bieber wins VMA." What the hell happened to music?

    Thanks for this upload Waldo. Amazing version of a beautiful song.

  • People always refer to Velevet Underground and Nico album as the biggest influence on bands but i always feel these 2 live albums have more to do with alot of bands sound, especially in the late 80's early 90's. Jesus and mary chain. my bloody valentine,spacemen 3 etc etc etc

  • Lou Reed said in the booklet "I hope in a million years from now kids at school study the lyrics of my songs" Why not Lou ;))))

  • 8:40...*Breathes in deep...Body tenses up...eyes bulge! AMAAAAAAZING!

  • trance,stockhausen, kraut-rock,ethnic,electronic, street poetry...The beginning of Rock as far as I am concerned.

  • @PerspexUlysses An argument could be made for this being the best rock song of all time, but I would still have to cast my vote for queens "fat bottom girls"

  • YES

  • @WaldoJeffers25 The original version was recorded at the Factory in New York, if that's any help. (Hence the Andy Warhol cover.)
