Lou Reed performing at the Houston Music Hall on November 13, 1974.
This multi-generational copy of a fan shot video looks like shit, sounds okay, but given there’s so little performance footage of Lou from this period, I’ll take it. Beggars can’t be choosers.
The Houston show was part of the “Sally Can’t Dance” tour and Reed’s band was comprised of former members of the hugely underrated and deeply funky Rhinoceros: Danny Weis [guitar], Michael Fonfara [keyboards], Eric “Mouse” Johnson [drums] and Peter Hodgson [bass].
“Sweet Jane”
“Vicious”
“Heroin”
“New York Stars”
Reed is gettin’ on the good foot Long Island-style.
