Line up

Lou Reed - Guitar, Vocals; Robert Quine - Guitar; Fernando Saunders - Bass, Vocals; Fred Maher - Drums

Doom says:

"Bottom Line tape of Lou, Quine, Fernando Saunders and Fred Maher warming up before their first live shows a few months before invading Italy. A cool document, with some interesting rarities and arrangements; songs like “The Day John Kennedy Died,” “Vicious Circle” and “A Gift” wouldn’t be played much (or at all) after ‘83. The energy level isn’t quite as high as it would get with an actual audience present, but it’s pretty high all the same. And even though Quine and Reed’s relationship was already pretty fractured at this point, it doesn’t stop Lou from praising his guitarist. “Damn!” he exclaims at the end of Quine’s typically tortured “Waves of Fear” solo. You’ll likely say the same thing when you hear it"
