Everything in RED is a change/addition to the Rock N Roll Animal website. I know that there are other dates posted to various concert databases, but I have only added information that I found proof for through ads, old newspapers, concert stubs, etc. None of the new info was taken from a generic database like setlist.fm.
If you have any questions/additions/changes, then please let me know here!

Re: Lou Reed Gigography - Research Results (1979)
I saw Lou at the Bottom Line in AUGUST 1979. Yes, AUGUST 1979.
I have not found this gig either listed or even hinted at ANYWHERE.
BUT...I was there.
It was a one-off that was announced on short notice and he opened with Here Comes The Bride.
Can anyone date this show or provide any information? As I recall, he may have been a bit drunk...

addition: 15 October 1979 - Carré, Amsterdam
proof: announcements and reviews in various Dutch media [details see under]
my summary of reviews: concert received positive reviews, much better than in 1978, pleasantly surprised by only few new songs and many from 'Berlin' [the 1970s classic album], very good encores [except long and boring 'The Bells'], including even a cover of an old Supremes hit

Re: Lou Reed Gigography - Research Results (1979)
Thanks folks, I added both.
I'm sure Lou had a lot of latitude at the Bottom Line to give short-notice shows! I'll try to dig into it!

Re: Lou Reed Gigography - Research Results (1979)
I attended this one:
27 March 1979 - Concerthouse, Stockholm, SWE
The venue is called "Konserthuset", which translates to "Concert House".
The concert was OK, not the best I've seen with Lou.

Re: Lou Reed Gigography - Research Results (1979)
a while ago I downloaded the list of Lou gigs at the Bottom Line from their webpage and that one was not on it. There was one in August 1978.

But I am not saying you are wrong. There is a "Bottom Line compilation" tape which is dated May 1978 but obviously has songs on it from other shows. But I didn't know that he was still playing "Bride" in 1979 - there's no other evidence of it being performed after May 1978.

Re: Lou Reed Gigography - Research Results (1979)
Yes, I know there was that August 1978 appearance. This was a year later!
This one seems to have fallen off the radar. I do remember that it was sold on rather short notice.
Somebody will find it!!

Re: Lou Reed Gigography - Research Results (1979)
I imagine it was advertised in the Village Voice, but of course, '79 issues of the VV aren't in google's archive.

According to the poster linked to above Lou played a show in München (= Munich) on April 8 at a venue called Circus Krone. There was no venue called Circus Krone in Hamburg in 1979. The venue in Stuttgart is spelled Liederhalle. The name of the actual venue of the Mannheim show is Mozartsaal, which is situated in a complex called Rosengarten, which explains the listing on the poster.
