On "Sister Ray", Lou and band are joined by the
support act, Phillip Goodhand Tait, who played
piano (and harmonica?).


Apart from a break to record the "Transformer" LP
in August, Lou had been touring England and Scotland
with his New York pickup band "The Tots" since his
debut UK appearance with them at the King's Cross Cinema,
London in the middle of July. Lou had started off on
the tour wearing pancake face make-up, silver high heel
shoes and a black velvet suit with what looked like
rhinestone embroidery, but he reverted to his standard
black leather after just a few shows. Press reviews at
the time were generally favourable, although to some
extent he was playing to the converted: the majority
of the audience were diehard Velvets fans who never had
the chance to see the "original" VU.
The set at this show leaned heavily on his Velvets
back-catalogue, with only "Wagon Wheel" and "Wild Side"
from the new LP, and only "I Can't Stand It" from it's
predecessor (which had not sold well). Interestingly
"Wild Side" is immediately recognised by the audience
but there's no reaction at all to "Wagon Wheel".

All of disc 1 and the 1st track on disc 2 are a straight
transfer of a poor quality cassette of the whole show.
There are various flaws in the recording (especially on
the opening 2 songs) and a heavy dose of hiss overlays
everything but I've not tried to clean it up at all.
The remaining tracks on disc 2 are from the "Some Kinda
Love" vinyl bootleg LP which was issued in the mid 1980s.
The bootleggers obviously had access to a tape much closer
to the master, and the sound quality is very acceptable.
I wish they'd made a double LP out of the complete
concert!

This must surely be the only recorded version of
"Sister Ray" with what sounds like a harmonica solo.

distribute widely but do not sell!
