One of the first shows of his early 1977 european tour to (nominally) promote
"Rock And Roll Heart" - Lou was being touted as the "godfather of punk" by the
record company and had a reputation to live up to. I dont think he disappointed
anyone with this show - always one of my favourites from this tour. An excellent
quality stereo audience recording - there are a few glitches but I dont think
they spoil the listening experience. Unless someone out there is sitting on a
soundboard of this show then I think that this is as good as it's going to get.

After abandoning his guitar for most of the late 1976 "TV sets" US tour, Lou is
back playing dirty licks as if he really means it. The band rocks and the atmosphere
is electric - Lou only pays lip service to the new LP and delivers a killer set.
White Light/White Heat is taken at breakneck speed, "Kicks" crackles with smouldering
menace and "Sister Ray" is a frantic feedback and sax frenzy with Lou's manic speedfreak
vocals.
....and then he comes out and delivers an almost tender "Lisa Says" as the final encore
