Lou Reed has made 3 appearances at Farm Aid - the inaugural event in 1985, then in 1987 and finally in 1990.
This soundboard recording captures him long before those Farm Aid sets, on September 20, 1973, 52 years ago today at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. A few months earlier, in July, Reed had released the concept album Berlin which tells the tale of a couple, Jim and Caroline, and their struggle with drug addiction and abuse. The album was initially a commercial and critical disaster, though over the years opinions have changed, with Rolling Stone even ranking it at #334 on its list of the greatest albums of all time.
