Lou Reed Toronto 26 May 1979 WPIX FM broadcast
"....I ask you, are these my people?......" (Lou reflects on the types of people who phone-in to talk to him.....)
El Mocambo
Toronto
26 May 1979
(Lou's personal recording of the show, broadcast by WPIX FM on 27 May 1979)
(re-seed note: To make this clear: Lou just had a 'cassette machine' running, as he
states in track 1. It's, basically, what we call an 'audience recording'.)
01: DJ intro/Lou talks 0.42
02: The Bells 10.31
03: Lou talks 1.16
04: Leave Me Alone 16.30
05: Rock And Roll/You Keep Me Hanging On 9.21
06: Call-In segment 1 6.28
07: I Want To Boogie With You (cut) 2.37
08: Street Hassle (cut)/Call-In segment 2 3.59
Lou Reed: guitar, vocals
Stuart Heindrich: guitar
Ellard "Moose" Bowles: bass
Marty Fogel: sax
Chuck Hammer: Roland guitar synth
Michael Suchorsky: drums
lineage: TDK SA90 cassette - (WavePad) - wav - flac (level 8) - you
Lou's tour to support "The Bells" started in Europe in March and moved on to North America in mid - April. By the end of May, Lou was on the
east coast and looking forward to a short residency at the Bottom Line in early June. On 27th May he appeared on New York's WPIX FM "Radio
Radio" show with DJs Dan Neer and John Ogle to shoot the bull and talk about the upcoming shows. While he was there he played a recording of
the previous evening's show in Toronto, and took some (hilarious) on-air phone calls. I think that this is Lou at his very best.....(but he frustratingly
talks about his favourite pinball games all the way through "Street Hassle")
An OUTSTANDING version of "Leave Me Alone".
My copy of this broadcast is pretty hissy, but I just left it that way. There are also a few odd stereo/mono shifts and breaks in the (original) tape.
### I'm not 100% certain that tracks 06 - 08 are from exactly the same date as tracks 01 - 05, but they certainly pre-date early June 1979 ######

Re-seed notes 2013:
SBEs had to be fixed. Done by TLH.
Looks I didn't download the scans (except one ticket stub I left in). But as those
scans are problematic on DIME I wouldn't have included them anyway.
Looks lurid_uk forgot to state that it was his upload here. He posted it in November
2008. All credits go to him, of course. And also many, many thanks for all his great
uploads over the years.
