Anyone know of a good place to get Lou Reed bootlegs? I was particularly looking for one of the New York performances from 2003, but anywhere that would just have a ton of stuff archived for download.
I'd literally die. It would be incredible. I question if it was, just because of that time it doesn't seem professionally filming gigs was a typical thing. Obviously it was recorded, and we have the whole thing out already in two CDs, and I'd be surprised if they did anything else other than just that. God I would love to be proven wrong. That would be the holy grail.Quote

Wouldn't it be nice if a video of the December 21, 1973 Concert (R&R Animal y Live) surfaced? That concert should have been taped.

I think the closest there is to that is some show from Paris from the next year, where the arrangements are similar, Lou Reed looks similar to how he did on Animal but its a slightly different band.

Lol, seems he was all over the map in 2003. He had the Tots, which I believe is like 72-73. Then from the late summer to the end of the year Rock And Roll Animal gig, he had the Animal band (which I believe are all different people from the Tots). Then some of them left, some of them stayed, and you get what he had in 74. It all sort of bleeds together. The telling sign (as it usually was with Lou) is whatever run he did, he typically had the same setlist. So all those Animal gigs basically have the same set, all those Tots shows have similar sets, and the ones after Animal also are a hybrid of new Sally stuff and what he was doing on Animal. You can't say the man stayed stationary!
I agree it is frustrating seeing those videos from 74, and having perfect audio from the year before and no video. Maybe since most of the 73 shows were in America the US hadn't quite caught onto filming show? Maybe Europe tended to film more at the time? I'm just spitballing as I don't entirely know why, but it is annoying to a point.
I'm gonna have to look up that Wagon Wheel that you mentioned. One of my favs from Transformer that no one ever talks about and I don't know if I've ever heard it live. Guess I'll also have to look for my personal favorite Lou Reed song Hangin Round which I guess is possible he played at that time. And Animal Language while I think of it lol. I love those hard rockers that Lou did so uniquely.
Yeah, I knew the Tots with him but just in the very early days. Otherwise, no idea who they are. This is from Wikipedia:Quote

Qoute:
The Tots played with him from July of '72 until April of '73, when he fired them.
Why? I do not know who they were or even existed. I have researched via internet the Tots to no avail.
1972-1973 must've been a very challenging time.

I haven't looked through this entire thread (ooooops!) but did anyone here see the Daniel Richler interview with Lou Reed way back when? It's classic in that Lou and Daniel really didn't get along. I think the interview took place in Toronto.
I'll continue to search for it and if I find it, I'll post it here. If memory serves, it was on the first version of MuchMusic perhaps in the late '70's/early '80's. Not certain though........

I prefer the records where he's playing guitar, clear-eyed, and totally involved (e.g., New York and The Blue Mask).
