Lou Reed - Sweet Jane
Live audio 1972
On July 8th 1972 Lou Reed performed three of his VU songs at the Royal Festival Hall, London, South Bank. The concert was for a Friends Of The Earth/Save The Whale concert compered by Kenny Everett. David Bowie and The Spiders From Mars backed him on these songs. (Always wondered if this would have happened had not Ken Pitt given David the first Velvets LP Acetate back in '67). A week later we all saw our first Lou Reed gig at The Kings Cross Cinema, London. His band this time were to become known as The Tots. This was a period when Lou would introduce his songs. Transformer was released and it cemented him in the UK. Like Arthur Lee and Iggy Pop he already had a legacy of songs that are still timeless today. Later in the year he performed in the US as well. This is a live take from one of those shows. The most stunning is a recording LIVE at the Ultrasonic Recording Studio, Hempstead, New York, December 26, 1972
