Hello, Sally Can't Dance tour!

Everything in RED is a change/addition to the Rock N Roll Animal website. I know that there are other dates posted to various concert databases, but I have only added information that I found proof for through ads, old newspapers, concert stubs, etc. None of the new info was taken from a generic database like setlist.fm.

If you have any questions/additions/changes, then please let me know here!

Interview:
--with Lou Reed [pictures] in music magazine OOR [vol.4 #11, Jun.05, page 1/21, "Lou Reed - full of life and impressive" by Bert vd Kamp, pictures G.Hanekroot]
not a real interview [was agreed, but cancelled], instead a short talk before the May.24 concert
Q: Do you hate interviews? R: They're pointless, as I never tell the truth.
followed by a general description of the four concerts; a.o.humorful, bad boyish, Reed sometimes changes lyrics, e.g.'Heroin be the death of me... Not a chance...!' in Carré [May.24]
