I think that I am the original source for that note on loureed.es, and iirc I based it on a comment in a letter to me from Jeremy Reed back in the 1980s. Since then, a soundboard recording of the Santa Monica show has shown up, and that song does not appear on it.......so it remains a mystery.

Could this be the original source:
05-73
CIVIC AUDITORIUM, SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA
NO
(review in Rolling Stone 13-8-73)
(Note.- Supossedely Lou sung in this show an unrecorded song called "Nobody Loves You When You're Old And Gay". Maybe could be in other early 73 show)

Now we just need somebody who was there to confirm. Shouldn't be hard. Come on, speak up!
