andrew	I've heard and read numerous articles, that Lou really was hit and miss live, mainly a miss. The Velvet Underground demo's and bootlegs do sound much better than the actual albums. Never got The Raven I have listened to it 12 times maybe I'm missing something from it.
DJones	When I saw him for the first time (April or May 1977), the concert was ok, but not great. But what an encore: 45 minutes of one chord! Unbelievable. And the second time (June 1979) he was so bad that American GIs threw chairs onto the stage and started a riot. Reed was arrested and had to spend a night in jail.
andrew	No fucking way.
JK2006	Love this quote... "One chord is fine," he once said, alluding to his bare-bones guitar style. "Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz."
JK2006	Oh Wow! Dreadful news.
