That's an interesting story about Lou reading the lyrics. I'm curious, when you saw him doing that, was Robert Quine his guitar player for that tour, or was it just a speaking (reading) concert without music? I read an interview with Quine where he said that that was one of the things that he disliked about Lou, was that Lou wanted to be remembered as a poet. Quine said that when Lou tries to write "poetic" songs, the songs aren't as good as when he doesn't worry about being "poetic".
By defo do you mean a drummer named defo or simply "definitely"? Anyway, I quite like his enthusiastic and unpretentious style, he's probably some new-yorker buddy or so. I agree that Mo Tucker (the nicest of all though) is somewhat overrated as a musical personnality, just like, in some sense, the velvets with respect to Lou's glorious career in the 70's and the 80's, an example of which is this video. (I don't know what he did afterwards and prefer not knowing.)
thsim1,the drummer is defo NOT Fred Maher.I'm not keen on this drummer either,but I feel Maher is a better drummer than Mo Tucker,in any case.Just a matter of opinion though.I fully respect yours m8.Quine,I miss with all my heart.What a cool,miserable(lol) motherfucker he was.A true guitar great.
i truly wish were a gift to the women of this world, lol

Agree with you about Quine, cool is not about long hair or having tatoos, its about being yourself, and playing kicka** guitar.
I disagree about "New Sensations". It's my favorite Lou Reed album. I wish so bad they would remaster and reissue it on cd. I can't find it anywhere.
I read an interview with Quine, he said that he and the accordian player hated each other's guts. That's hilarious.
