Hi there! Apologies for the delayed response; thanks so much for your praise and adding my videos to your playlist, much appreciated!

I have never seen that still of Lou behind the mic before...plus the other images seem to be various shots of The Myddle Class on stage...this is VERY interesting! Here's praying the film has sound! I found following at https://www.facebook.com/barbararubinfilm from 28th January 2023: Tomorrow night...

Brian stayed in the limo with two babes while Al came up to get us. We all wanted to meet him b...

Hey Alfredo! I got the film date from 'Up-Tight' by Victor Bockris & Gerard Malanga...but the uncertainty of this has been bugging me for years - I never noticed the short sleeve shirts worn by the cops, but what I DID notice was Lou Reed shown to be sweating during a close-up after the jam was over...
