Families that live out in the suburbs …

A friend of mine recently got hooked on the Reed song "Families," from The Bells. He's very eager to hear a live version of it, but I couldn't think of any to help him source that. Did Lou ever include that song in his live set, and if so are there any available live recordings of it?

There's a version on You Tube - Lou Reed Families (Live Chicago 1979/05/22).
There is a boot of the whole show - Park West Chicago 79 but I can't find any other performance of this track on any of my other 79 concerts.

I have a rough audience recording of it from May 22 1979 Park West Chicago. According to the Setlist wiki there are no other instances.

Love that song. I think it’s one of his best. And I too would love to hear another version of it.
