Most of the credit should go to the sound editor Captain Acid. He took a soundboard recording and changed the phase, level, pitch correction, new EQ. I'm basically just passing that on. In his notes, he said, "This is probably the best Lou Reed live recording you will ever hear - play LOUD!" The biggest edit he did was that the first four songs were missing, plus there was a big cut in "Walk on the Wild Side," so he replaced those with soundboard versions from the Felt Forum, New York City, October 9, 1974.
One interesting tidbit about this concert is that for track 10, Reed started singing the words to "I'm Waiting for the Man" while the band started playing the riff to "Sally Can't Dance." So the result was an accidental medley or merging of the two songs that only happened at this show. He switched over to singing "Sally Can't Dance" before the song ended.
This album is an hour and 21 minutes long.

The cover photo is exactly as I found it, lens flare and all. It was taken a concert in Amsterdam in the Netherland in May 1974.
Thanks for the awesome post
ReplyDeleteI was at the Olympia in 75 (?), same period. Thank you so much for this one !! In 1976, at the age of 18, on a single track played by Julian Cannonball Adderley, in "Something Else" (jointly produced and played with Miles), I left "rock" and "jazz rock" for good, like Saint Paul on his way to Damascus encountering the trancsendanse.
ReplyDeleteBut it's good to remember the beginnings, thanks to you!
