Lou Reed – Lou Reed Live

This sounds really good for a budget "Best Buy" release.

Great companion piece to Rock 'N' Roll Animal taken from the same performance. Note that this album's stereo mix differs from its counterpart in that guitarist Steve Hunter is heard on the left channel, and Dick Wagner is on the right; this arrangement is reversed on the previous LP.
Solid RCA Hollywood pressing. Loud, rich and punchy with excellent instrument separation between the guitarists.Listener can hear the hi hat work, cymbals, fills, bass drum quite clearly & bass guitar is upfront.

This is a proud new piece in my Best Buy Series collection, i had no idea a BBS from LRL existed? … other BBS issues on my want list, either Branded, or Stickered, of Chet Atkins or Glenn Miller or Elvis or Jefferson Airplane or Floyd Cramer or David Bowie or John Denver or Lou Reed or Hot Tuna or Jim Reeves or The Ramones or Henry Mancini or Waylon Jennings or Harry Nilsson or Guess Who ot Aztec Two Step or a bunch other artists on RCA Records … if you see any when you’re digging, would you please buy them, and i will pay you back later:-)

This pressing sounds very good to me. Great album also!

Two of the greatest rock guitarists on this Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner , as heard on recordings by Alice Cooper and Peter Gabriel to name just two.

A brilliant record, I baught this and Rock and roll animal at the same time and as such tend to find when I play one I play the other straight after. People tend to overlook this in favour of R&R animal, but I find this to be its equal, great recording and great songs. Buy both, (they are definitely cheap enough to pick up), sit back, and enjoy.

There is a reason why this was released only 2 years later. "Rock and Roll Animal" is by far the better record. If you have that, you don't need this.

Very underrated album. Almost as good as Rock n Roll Animal. I would love for the two to be combined with the two missing tracks and released as a double LP complete show.

RCA transitioned from orange lables to gold/tan lables this year.
