  • In this video, I show the records I bought on a recent trip to Cleveland. I also talk about how Monday is NOT the day to go record store hopping in Cleveland.

    I agree, they need to release a set that combines Rock-n-Roll Animal with Lou Reed Live. That rendition of Oh Jim is fantastic. OMG, I snorted when you said, "Maybe on a Dolly Parton album."

    Blowing through the prerequisites is a Lou Reed standard. I saw him around '86 in Philly touring for his album "Original Rapper". The first part of the show was a so-what blowing through the prerequisites.
    The second part was him doing his new album in its entirety. Man, he smoked on songs I never heard before! He saved all his energy for the new stuff.
    Needless to say, I became a Lou Reed fan just for his sheer guts on betting everything on his new material.

    I bought Orgasmatron when it was their brand new album. Same lineup as the 4 'new' songs on No Remorse. Agree the mix is not that great, but the music is good! Dead Set is not exactly the best live Dead there is to offer but it's not bad, makes sense if you already have Reckoning which I happen to like more. Thanks for sharing.

    Just picked up Lou Reed Live at my local shop for $8 in VG++, also grabbed Take No Prisoners while I was there. They always seem to have a lot of Lou, living in New York suburb helps for sure. Picked up R&R Animal there last year too. Interesting aside about LR live, Wagner and Hunter are reversed channel wise from R&R Animal.

    As far as I know, there has never been a legal physical media release of Rock N' Roll Animal and Lou Reed Live together as one complete concert, but somehow it is right here on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/Cp336aLOuxM/видео.html To my ears, it sounds like it's all of one piece, from the source tape of the actual show and not just all the tracks from the two albums edited together (Lou Reed Live actually has a fairly different sound than Rock N' Roll Animal, as if they were mixed & mastered by two completely different sets of people) but then again, I'm going by what I'm hearing through my crappy computer speakers with my 56 year-old tinnitus-ridden ears. And if you're not crazy about the version of Walk On The Wild Side he does here, try listening to the track by that name on Take No Prisoners: over the course of 17 minutes, he never once comes even close to actually singing the song, instead he tells a long, rambling story of how the song came to be, who the various characters in the song were, and a whole bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with the song whatsoever. (At one point he declares that he approves of Bruce Springsteen, ...so that's nice).

    I went to school with kid who went out with a girl. They found out they were cousins when she showed up at a family reunion. She was on the side of the family that his parents did not get along with. Then he came to high school talking about it, that was not a good idea. By 2nd semester. He had transferred to another school.
