Taken from the same series of concerts that provided the basis of "Rock 'n' Roll Animal", "Lou Reed Live" captures much of the same raw energy and outrageous compositions/playing that created that live masterpiece. It might have seemed brash to release another live album (broken up by the poorly received "Metal Machine Music" which many have interpreted as Reed's screw you to the label but Reed, largely, pulls it off.

"Live" isn't quite as cohesive as "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" but it is a perfect compliment acting as the second missing half of that album.

Although it may have been a contractual obligation album, "Live" is anything but obligatory with Reed giving his all during the performances here.

Recommended.

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY WAYNE KLEIN, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

Lou Reed Live is a live album by Lou Reed, released in 1975. It was recorded at the same concert as Rock 'n' Roll Animal ; on December 21, 1973, at Howard Stein's Academy of Music in New York. It features three songs from Transformer, one song from The Velvet Underground & Nico (Reed's former band's debut album) and two songs from Berlin. Between this album and the remastered Rock 'n' Roll Animal the entire show has been released, albeit in a different order than the original concert setlist.

In 2003, BMG Special Music Products re-issued this album under their "Extended Versions" series. The title was changed to reflect this, but the contents remained unchanged.

This live album's stereo mix differs from its counterpart in that guitarist Dick Wagner is heard on the left channel, and Steve Hunter is on the right; this arrangement is reversed on Rock 'n' Roll Animal.

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE ARTICLE IN WIKIPEDIA.ORG)

The PROMOTIONAL, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed among the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals", which is to say the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

ACCORDING TO THE PERSON WE ACQUIRED THIS ITEM FROM, THIS ALBUM COMES FROM THE ESTATE OF THE LEGENDARY ROCK PIONEER, SONGWRITER AND SINGER  DOC POMUS(1925-1991)

·      CONDITION:

·      THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)         THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them.

(b)         The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.

(c)         The record is apparently pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type),  vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl either.

(d)         Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                          THE COVER

COVER IS STRONG NEAR MINT, STILL SEALED AND COVERED IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP   (A SMALL PIECE OF SHRINK WRAP IS MISSING)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-       Cover has a visible "wrinkle"(crease)  in one of the corners.   (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
