So, technically you're not stuck - just getting it REALLY slowly

How rare do you like your Live Lou?

Pretty Face? Shooting Star? Downtown Dirt? Better Get Up and Dance? Each done TWICE?

Go to Demonoid and search for "Ludwigshafen."

VU website identifies this recording as one of the rarest. It has very good sound particularly for the time. The instrumentation is generally very clear, but the vocals are less audible; but most of the recording consists of drone/trance pieces anyway.

The lineage is just a Silver CD (Black Cat 1999)>iMacG5>Flac (with xACT). I have no information re the original lineage, and the disc artwork doesn't mention it either.

This torrent has an "extra" cut in it. Track 3 is a version of Venus In Furs that is not part of the Sweet Sister Ray album. Does anybody know how it got into this torrent or where it came from?

You are right, it shouldn't be there. It is obviously from a vinyl LP. My guess is Problems in Urban Living or something approximately from the same time.
I also noticed that the last track is cut at the beginning, circa 5 seconds is missing, and at the end of the track there is circa 5 seconds of silence, so the track is not complete.

"The Complete TOKYO 09071975 LP" is now posted at Dime:

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-deta ... ?id=117179

Band: Lou Reed
Date: 09 July 1975
Venue: Sun Plaza Hall, Tokyo JAPAN
Title: The Complete TOKYO 09071975 LP

Lineage: LP -> WAV -> CD-R -> .aiff -> xACT .flac conversion

Tracklist:

Disc 1
01 sweet jane
02 cib
03 i'm waiting for the man
04 satellite of love
05 vicious
06 heroin
07 how do you think it feels?

Disc 2
01 wild side
02 ride sally ride
03 it's too late mama
04 wl/wh
05 r&r / leave me alone
06 interview

I would rate this at a B+. A very good audience recording and LP transfer.

I have never seen this LP for sale or for auction. Ever. If I had not seen it on the Rock 'N' Roll Animal Webpage
( http://www.arrakis.es/~e.miquel/rnranimal/index.htm ), I would have no idea this LP even existed.

Now, there is the issue of the proper tracklisting. According to Enrique's site, the tracklist is as follows:

Side 1: 1. Sweet Jane / 2. Coney Island Baby / 3. WFMM
Side 2: 1. Satellite Of Love / 2. Vicious / 3. Heroin / 4. White Light / White Heat
Side 3: 1. How Do You Think It Feels? / 2. Walk On The Wild Side / 3. Ride Sally Ride
Side 4: 1. It's Too Late Mama / 2. Rock And Roll / 3. Leave Me Alone

After listening very carefully to my discs, I believe that Enrique's info MAY be wrong. Fade-Ins/Outs and a couple edits between tracks on my CD's indicate the LP's tracklist must be more like this:

Side 1: 1) Sweet Jane -record skip- 2) Coney Island Baby 3) WFMM 4) Satellite of Love
Side 2: 1) Vicious 2) Heroin - edit-
Side 3: edit into...1) HDYTIF? 2) Ride Sally Ride 3) It's Too Late Mama 4) WL/WH into fade out...
Side 4: fade into...1) R&R 2) Leave Me Alone into fade out...

On my CD's, It's Too Late Mama rolls perfectly into WL/WH without any edits or fades. That's a pretty good indication that they are on the same LP side and were played in that order during the concert, don't ya think?! The following nite (July 10) followed the exact same setlist up to It's Too Late Mama (the last track on that bootleg).

This remaster includes an interview track. Artwork is included.

1978...NYC...rare on the Trader Scene...it's gonna drop on Dime soon...very soon...

OK, it's up! For songs like I Wanna Dance With You, Here Comes the Bride, and more groovy stuff, you better check it out at Dime. I had to remove the one officially released track, which I stuck up on Demonoid.

Ah, maybe nobody will want this show. It really sucks actually...so don't even bother!
