Lou Reed Gigography - Research Results (1972-73)

[mangue]

PS: seems that both Phil Milstein and Mike Kostek started their career as VU-scribes in that very student paper [Massachusetts Daily Collegian], just search for their names in the archived collection of the University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries

Philip interviewed about the start of his VU-fanzine "What Goes On"

another date for 1972:

1972-10-31: Lady Mitchell Hall, Cambridge University, Cambridge

i.e. same venue as for the show on 13th October. I am in contact with a guy who saw both shows - apparently the 1st show went so well they booked Lou again.

Thank you, this date poses a problem because on "Wolfgang's" ("Bill Graham Archives and affiliates"), I remember that when "vaults" were added, the concert of the 15.5 (to which we must add 'I'm so free' cut after Sweet Jane) was recorded on the West Coast.

I think that 14th May is the correct date from Princeton. In my files I have:

13th May: Youngstown State University
14th May: Princeton University
17th May: Montreal
18th May: Philadelphia
19th May: Harrisburg
etc etc

I have no idea where the "15th May" recording is from....

Yet another mystery.
It was with the band assembled by the late Moogy Klingman (who recorded some concerts).
Maybe the date is wrong?
