LOU REED. AN EARLY VIEW OF LOU. Collection of Lou penned songs from his Brill Building days. Know about that?

LOU REED. STREETS OF BERLIN. October 10, 1972. Live studio broadcast, absolutely fucking amazing.

LOU REED. DESPITE ALL THE AMPUTATIONS. December 26, 1972. Incomplete art. Fucking perfect.

LOU REED, JOHN CALE & NICO BATACLAN January 29, 1972 Paris France. Quite an unusual treat. My version is a single disc (the artwork indicates a second disc of rehearsals). Cool.

LOU REED. SWEET JANE. Backed by the Dick Wagner/Steve Hunter tandem in 1972, Lou was rock's last great hope. Superb.

LOU REED. JANUARY 27, 1973. Alice Tully Hall, New York City. Simply spectacular! Wow!

LOU REED.  MORGAN STUDIO BERLIN ACETATE. June 22 - July 17, 1973.   12 something or other tracks.

LOU REED. IT'S NICER IN THE DARK. MAY, 1974. Brussels. It's 1974, it's Lou Reed, what's better.

LOU REED. WAITING FOR LOU. Stockholm, 1974. My ears adjusted quickly to the sound of this pretty good soundboard recording. Hadn't listened to Lou in a little while when I popped it into my Ipod and realized how much I love the guy.

LOU REED. RIDE PARIS RIDE. May 25, 1974. Paris, France. A downright funky "Sweet Jane" opens the show. Perfect sound.

LOU REED. PALACE THEATRE, DAYTON 1974. October 27, 1974 & bonus tracks from October 9, 1984 (NY). Pretty good stuff from Lou's greatest era.

LOU REED. JULY 17, 1975. Adelaide, Australia. Soundboard. I never tire of this era.

LOU REED. DECEMBER 21, 1975. (2) Academy of Music, NYC. I think that this is the complete Rock and Roll Animal/Lou Reed Live plus a couple of others. Soooo Good!!!

LOU REED. APRIL 25, 1975 (2) Providences, Rhode Island. Nice recorded show.

LOU REED. BANGING ON MY DRUMS (2) Collection of a couple of different shows. January 11, 1977, April 26, 1975, May 2, 1988, July 7, 1975, April 26, 1975. This is a nice grouping of era stuff, pretty heavy rock. All high quality recordings.

LOU REED. JULY 28, 1975 (2) Adelaide, Australia. Soundboard Lou, just love it all.

LOU REED LEAVE ME ALONE (2) October 23, 1976. Akron, Ohio. Soundboard. Great stuff from Lou, an artist trafficking in rock and roll - who does that anymore???

LOU REED. I NEVER SAID I WAS NICE (2) October 29, 1976. Boston, Mass. WBCN Broadcast. Wow, I remember I was in high school when this show happened. I didn't go - a bit young and I only knew a couple of Lou songs that my older brother made me listen to. Anyway, I remember asking a classmate who went who explained to me that he didn't care of rate show and that Lou hardly rocked and picked up a guitar just once. Strange -- anyway, listening to the show I can hear why he didn't like it. Lots of obscurities and not much rocking out, though I enjoyed more than he.

LOU REED. LIVE IN LOS ANGELES 1976 (2) Some good stuff here on this radio broadcast. Don Cherry is in the band and the show starts with a too long jazz jam before Lou begins with Sweet Jane.

LOU REED.  MAY 1, 1977.  Groningen.   A messy soundboard of seven unessential tracks.  

LOU REED. FRUSTRATE AND ANTAGONIZE. May 11, 1977. New York City. Soundboard. Incredible show full of pleasure and pains. Lou has wrung out all of the creases in his voice into a Dylanesque hoarseness and the band simply rocks out - if this isn't a peak era performance I don't know what is.

LOU REED. NOVEMBER 1, 1977. Albury, Australia. Soundboard. Make that a sloppily played soundboard. I think the only bootleg in history recorded in Albury.

LOU REED. MARCH 22, 1978. San Francisco, California. Super soundboarder - love this era with a couple of horns.

LOU REED. APRIL 14, 1978 Chicago, Illinois. Solid 8 song song, it's rock and roll candy.

LOU REED. APRIL 26, 1978. Cleveland, Ohio. WMMS Radio broadcast. Lou in the 70's was alot of fun. This band was more of a sax and keyboards outfit with a funky, R+B groove. Can't believe it was broadcast considering some of the language.

LOU REED. LIVE AT THE EL MOCAMBO CLUB. MAY 26, 1979, Toronto, Canada. This was broadcast with Lou on WPIX-FM In New York when he stopped by and even took phones calls during the broadcast. Those phone calls are amazing - pure Lou.

LOU REED. MAY 27, 1980 (2) Agora Ballroom, Cleveland. Early and late show, killer from Lou.

LOU REED. FIRENZE. June 14, 1980. Firenze, Italy. A bit flawed, but don't want complain.

LOU REED. JUNE 12, 1980. Milan, Italy. Soundboard. Still killin' it.

LOU REED. LOU REED IN CONCERT. Feburary 23, 1983. The Bottom Line, NYC. This is the live feed of a professional video taping. Lou was thrilled with the show - "levatated" at one point he notes in a brief interview after the show.

LOU REED. JULY 8, 1984. Werchter. Superb FM Radio broadcast.

LOU REED. CAPITOL THEATRE (2) SEPTEMBER 25, 1984. Soundboard. Lou is fucking hysterical. He may be an hornery dude, but oh man, he is magic.

LOU REED. AGORA. October 3, 1984. Excellent WMMS radio broadcast with even a couple of quick interviews on stage. Hey Lou, what do you think of MTV? They got a lot of pretty girls.

LOU REED. JULY 27, 1986 (2) Philadelphia. Another great soundboard of Lou, my favorite asshole.

LOU REED. CAPITOL THEATRE (2) Passaic, New Jersey, January 8, 1987. Vintage Lou from the stage and a nice setlist. Frankly not the best arrangement or musicians he's played with, but still quite enjoyable. Soundboard.

LOU REED. PHILADELPHIA. Lou goes Las Vegas...or atleast big band. 8 live tracks with horns & shit. Soundboard. Not sure the year, think early 90's.

LOU REED. NEW YORK STORIES. Performing the mighty album from Beginning to End, Lou was vital in 1989. Crystal clear sound quality as Lou connected on his third wind.

LOU REED. APRIL 13, 1989. Denver, Colorado. FM Broadcast and maybe one of my favorite Lou Boots. This is my Lou, dark and nasty, yet humorous. Great setlist with a couple of nuggets mixed in with New York album favorites and others. So fucking good.

LOU REEDS WBCN VISIT. DECEMBER 12,1991, Boston, Massachusetts. Interviewed by Mark Parenteau (go look him up, oy veh), you get a couple of songs and a cooperative Lou though he is his usual arrogant self.

LOU REED. SEATTLE 1992 (2). May 3, 1992. Seattle, Washington. Very good soundboard of that Magic & Loss show. Not his best record, not the worst either.

LOU REED. SEPTEMBER 3, 1992. Amsterdam, Holland. 8 Tune Radio Broadcast. No greatest hits 'cept Sweet Jane & Satellite of Love.

LOU REED. POWER AND GLORY. September 12, 1992. Real nice night + recording. Great setlist and performance. Lou! Lou! Lou! No artwork for this A+ boot.

LOU REED, LUKA BLOOM, DAVID BYRNE & ROSEANNE CASH. (2) THE BOTTOM LINE. February 19, 1993. The Bottom Line, NYC. This is a songwriters circle with discussion and playing by these four. It s a very good audience taping, but some of the talk is often faint to hear, but the music always sounds fantastic. Very entertaining stuff.

LOU REED. GRAN TEATRO REX ARGENTINA (2) September 14, 1996. Mostly great stuff and weirdness from this New York City Man.

LOU REED. AUGUST 15, 1998 (2) Soundboard - frankly a bit of a mixed bag, Lou sounds great and the music is crystal clear, but some of the arrangements come off a bit too similar. Still some nice highlights thru the show, but Lou can be such a prick.

LOU REED. GRENADA 1998. October 3, 1998. Terrific soundboard with an 8 1/2 Minute "Viscous" is killer.

LOU REED. APRIL 24, 2000 (2) Dusseldorf, Germany. Soundboard from the The Ecstacy Tour which I found surprisingly good. I was underwhelmed by the proper record at the time, but this live version brought out the sonic boom.

LOU REED.  ECSTASY AT LIEDERHALLE STUTTGART (2). April 28, 2000 (2).Stuttgart, Germany.   Soundboard.  So you can quibble with the setlist which can be challenging with Lou.  With that said the band is good.  

LOU REED. BROOKLYN. Decembe 14, 2006. Live at St. Ann's Warehouse, Brooklyn, New York. This is the "Berlin" album show done with majestic maturity. The Man can still create magic.

LOU REED. MAY 5, 2008 (2) NYC A better than good recording. John Zorn steps in at times and the show becomes insufferable when he is whining and wailing away. Ugh. Dreadful. However, there are still some great moments and songs - "Halloween Parade" for one.

LOU REED. LOLLAPALOOZA '09. August 9, 2009. Acceptable, not great, taping of Lou's 8 songs, some good stuff with one track this is miserable, unlistenable as only Lou can be.
