I had taped this off Channel 4 over 30 years ago or so. Robert from Voidoids was magic.

Lou -- we miss you. We need you more than ever.

Lou has had many great bands, from the Rock and Roll Animal band to his late '70s and later the group with Tony Smith and Fernando Saunders but I think that this might have been his best group. Every musician is great and all are highly respected by their peers. Fred and Fernando are great together.

""Lou Reed came from these No, he was actually a suburban kid and went to a suburban high school. He sang about the streets, though.

[PaulRandolph]

[nickritson]

Great to see Lou getting into a bit of the old velvet feedback - love it!

[karmenjazbec]

YEAH LOU REST IN PEACE YOUR MUSIC IS TIMELESS

[SteveninTune]

I like the simple pure rock sound. Not the 10 cord song with meaningless speed solos. Lou said one cord your rockin, two cords your pushing it, three cords your getting into Jazz.❤

I love Lou Reed, and he and his band are badass! But I have to say in this video he looks just like Jody from Family Affair.

Louis reed on a fender strat ? - wild times

[caribman]

You really were at Lou's mercy seeing him live...he could have a bunch of hacks backing him, or Hunter and Wagner...and in his case, Happy Lou, or the Fuck-You Lou. I saw all these at least once.

[willowufgood]

You know you have an awesome band when Hunter S Thompson is playing lead guitar

[BeesWaxMinder]

Not too sure about the VoiceOver in the beginning!
Anyhoo, Quine is Sublime...

[barbazul]
