The video shows the RAI trademark, that's the Italian state television, which means there is a high quality master of the concert somewhere in Italy......

Hey I was there that night and I was almost close to them in front of the stage

Now THIS IS A L O U R E E D CONCERT! Wish I was there, In the crowd, drenched in the theater of it all, maybe a bit high too... This is how ROCK'N ROLL is done, Boys 'n Girls...From the Heart, From the Heart! (Bakabana1966, thank you!)

seems and sounds like the best gig this universum ever produced by the way

na, it's not your age, im 29 and feel the same... the album has healing powers my friend.

To me, this is Lou at his height. Its a great blend of alternative theater, beat poetry and rock and roll aesthetics.

W O W !
Eventually the master tapes should see light of day.
Even as is, every time I see this I feel the pain in these songs.
Almost forgot how great these guys were.
Think that these "Berlin" songs were added to the set when guitarist Chuck Hammer joined Lou circa '79, (least that's what I read in the Diana Clapton book. The emotion in these intimate pieces launched on 80,000 Italians; some them are seriously melting down.
Very different from the formal version he is currently touring.

yep back then in 1980 Lou Reed was a rocknroller, the Berlin songs are really rocknroll, while nowadays the Berlinsongs are performed like in a theatre, too much arranged, Berlin now is more like a product.I'm afraid Lou's working now on a Sister Ray ballet !!

bakabana where did you get this amazing footage? And who has the master tapes?

i traded it with someone from the US of A, it's my alltime favorite Lou Reed concert on video,
i once wrote a letter to RAI-tv but they said they can't send me a copy of the master, i think the best is if someone can write in Italian a letter to Berlusconi ? if this footage is launched on DVD it will be a bestseller, i'm sure !!
