 (4 Customer Reviews)
Recorded live at Howard Stein's Academy of Music, New York, New York on December 21, 1973.
The material on LOU REED LIVE was recorded at the same 1973 performance that resulted in the better-known live Reed album ROCK & ROLL ANIMAL. This album's portion of that historic performance is a bit less grandiose, though, with the elaborate interplay of guitarists Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner (of Alice Cooper's band) not as strident. LOU REED LIVE also relies a little more on the more introspective side of Reed's muse, eschewing epics in favor of more closely observed character studies, like BERLIN's "Oh Jim" and TRANSFORMER's "Take a Walk on the Wild Side. Towards that end, "Satellite of Love" is a dreamy, downright romantic ballad that puts the lie to the rock god image Reed was then half-jokingly perpetrating.
Recording information: 12/21/1973.
Personnel: Lou Reed (vocals); Dick Wagner, Steve Hunter (guitar); Ray Colcord (keyboards); Prakash John (bass); Pentti Glan (drums).

Lou Reed Live: Extended Versions Music Lou Reed Live: Extended Versions Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   At Last!
I've been trying to get this CD for years - now quite rare - it's the other half of the live concert featured on "Rock N Roll Animal" - and if you have that you should definitely get this one to complete your collection! If you don't let me just say the two together make up one of the best live albums of all time. Buy them both. NOW.
Great music and listen hard right at the end and you can hear someone in the audience shout out "Lou Reed Sucks" - oh no he doesn't!

 Just like yesterday
This was one CD that was very hard to find. I'm very surprised CDU had it. I have the original LP form the 70s and this is the first time I've listened to this in at least a dozen years. Rock and Roll Animal is a classic, but htis could be even better! All the songs re tight. My fav is Satelitte of Love, but each song stands on it's own. MAmust have for any Lou Reed fan.

Real Metal Machine Music
Maybe Lou left the "Lou Reed Sucks" applause on the end of Sad Song to make a statement before he released "Metal Machine Music", his personal flip off to the music industry at the time. A lot of artist from the late '60's & early '70's got ripped off due to poor management dealing & the like, according to Robert Fripp. Anyway, we need a mini box set of these two fine live albums already.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No More From The 'R'nR Animal' Gigs
Yeah, I have the original vinyl of this too - and if you listened long enough & turned up the applause outro at the end of side two after 'Sad Song,' some leather-lunged audience wiseguy could be clearly heard yelling "Lou Reed SUCKS!", lol. It appeared to've been left in as a deliberate joke by somebody.

On the live album Rock N Roll Animal, Lou Reed showed he'd learned how to give his audience what they wanted, and do it well. Sally Can't Dance, on the other hand, was the polar opposite, a remarkably cynical album that pandered to the lowest common denominator of the market that had bought Transformer and Rock N Roll Animal, and didn't even do it with much flair. Reed's ...

In July 1973, Elvis returned to Memphis, this time to the source of Southern soul, Stax Studios. Apparently, the very idea of working with Elvis was intimidating and the Stax musicians couldn't overcome their awe, so Elvis had to leave the building. In his absence, the rhythm tracks were laid down. He then returned to add his vocals, a practice only used during the last few years of the soundtracks, when he was too bored to show up and work. From all of this, five songs were attempted and one was completed, and they're instantly forgettable. Elvis returned in December to Stax with a mix of his band and some Nashville cats, recording 18 tracks in a week. In between, he had tried a session at his Palm Springs home that didn't work, although three almost ponderously sincere ballads were completed. All in all, RCA had 30 new Elvis songs, enough quality material for two strong albums of 12 tracks each. Unfortunately, the material was issued as three cheesily packaged albums of a mere ten tracks each. Raised on Rock, Good Times, and Promised Land all have something to offer, but the lesser material dilutes the impact of the strong and the sound ranges from O.K. to atrocious, thus producing more evidence of Presley's growing mediocrity. ~ Neal Umphred
In July 1973 Elvis returned to Memphis, this time to the justly famed source of Southern soul, Stax Studios. After a couple of days, several of Stax's most famous musicians came in, including the marvelous rhythm section of Donald "Duck" Dunn, bass, and Al Jackson, drums. Apparently, the very idea of working with Elvis was intimidating and the group couldn't overcome their awe, so Elvis had to leave the building. In his absence, rhythm tracks were laid down.
