I just found this site. I have not downloaded anything myself yet. You'll have to copy and paste the links to your browser. I'm assuming that these are all mp3's and not flac as most of them appear to be single links. There is not a whole lot of information on the site about any of the shows. My guess is it varies wildly. I would check the dates against the known tape info on the Rock And Roll Animal page. In any event it's free and it may give you a taste of these shows until you choose to upgrade.

That show is available as a bootleg dvd called "It's Nicer In The Dark", And it is actually from Brussels. It's only about 6 songs, all of which can be found on Youtube. Or at least could have been a while ago. If memory serves they are S.Jane, Lady Day, Ride Sally Ride, Waiting, Vicious and something else. I have it buried somewhere and if you pm me I could send you a burn when I dig it out. I have to say that there is a bunch of great sounding soundboards of shows from that 74 era. I really love the sort of proto-punk-junkie-funk sound he has from this period. Really sleazy and cool sounding, the feel on these concerts is always very organic. To me it never sounds like someone who is touring a top 10 album. Just trashy and very unique imho.
django,

that's a great offer, thank-you. Please see your pms. I think I prefer the trashy Reed to the later serious, literary one.

Due to that youtube video I have started to look for a 74 concert. I've heard that Stockholm is good. Are there others worth looking for?

Whilst looking for the Stockholm show I find this supposed phone call between a Robert Cass of 'bootleg city' and Lou Reed. It reads as fake but amusing nonetheless.

By the way does anyone know where to find the Stockholm show, please? I can only find half of it and all the links to it I can track down seem to be dead.
