Lou Reed Live In Prague 2012

Post by bobbydriver » 12 Dec 2017 10:38

For those with Amazon Prime this is currentky streaming for free, and it's a pretty great Lou solo show

https://www.amazon.com/Lou-Reed-Archa-T ... B01JUJQEUQ

Actually one of the last shows he did and it's a great document. The band are on top form, the sound is great and it's really nicely shot

I actually prefer the Lulu songs without Metallica - the expanded band and the lack of Metallica's stupid gurning rock faces (and Lars naff drumming)helps a lot

The usual VU covers too (Heroin, Waiting, Sweet Jane and Beginning to See The Light). It's cool to see Lou do Heroin with a viola player and drummer with mallets!

Also then got Amazon Prime recommendation for another free streaming Lou Reed gig

A Night With Lou Reed - the cracking 1983 set with Quine on lead. Loads of VU tracks

Thanks for the tip about Heroin with viola. I don't have Amazon so had to surf YouTube & here's a link to Heroin footage from Bonn 2012, all 17 minutes of it.

Had to set up a new account because it’s been so long. It’s occurred to me that it’s been 10 years since this show and it’s no longer on Amazon. I don’t even think it’s made the rounds in the bootleg circles either. Checking the inventory for the Lou Reed Archive shows there’s not really anything in there covering Lou’s last two tours. Does anybody have any information about a rights issue or maybe even anyone to contact about this?

Not my video but after coincidentally searching for the first time since I posted here I saw that this was uploaded yesterday.
