Lou Reed -Live At The Old Waldorf SF 3-22-78 - Voodoo Wagon

Talk about

STREET HASSLE!

 LOU AT THE WALDORF '78

Welcome back Jobe! All at The Voodoo Wagon and the Lounge

LOU REED - Live at The Old Waldorf 1978 - Voodoo Wagon



An interesting document here with scant information but a blistering performance from Lou and his smallish ensemble"*. Highly listenable and not sure if it's an audience recording but it sounds too 'hot' to be audience sourced and Jobe states it's a radio broadcast which is interesting as it may have been a smaller channel as it is delightfully rough (maybe that the performance, fuzz boxes too!) and he gets away with the strongest language so I would be interested to know who broadcast MoFos! YouTube has it as KSAN !? And some folk have it from the four night residency in March as supported by Ian Dury! I would have liked to sit in on THAT convo!!!?!!!Its from the Street Hassle Tour of that year.  In terms of availability this is NOT an official release although everyone ( all the world and his dog!) seems to have it, having got it via a rebranding company used in Brasil and via Germany so make of that what you will!

Anyhoo, it is great fun and if you listen to one track make it Coney Island Baby! BRILLIANT STUFF!
Thanks Jobe!
