The Velvet Forum

1. Growing Up In Public era: Footage of the band at an outdoor (huge) venue, performing How Do You Speak..., and The Kids. The footage starts w/ Lou and the guys walking down some street, and the camera keeps focusing on some chick's ass in short-shorts!

2. 1983 Quine era: Italian (I think) broadcast. In the lower-right corner is the TV-channel insignia w/ a "5"? They play Kill Your Sons, Some Kinda Love/Sister Ray, and Lou has a KILLER solo during Kill Your Sons.

3. David Letterman - Lou, Fernando, second guitarist is on a riser to the left, and they perform "New Sensations."

4. Lou solo w/ weird guitar, in front of a huge black/white backdrop, performing Last Great American Whale.

(1) is the intro from the original Italian TV broadcast of the Florence 1980 show. On my copy the video is so-so and the audio is awful. (2) is indeed from Italiam TV - from Verona 1983 I think.

Awesome! MCP at HungerCity.org is going to be putting together a compilation of all the stuff on my videos. Some of it is pretty rare, like the Honda Scooter ad!

Ditto with mine. But at least it will be in DVD format now!

I alreday have the Florence 80 and Verona 83 showes on DVD but haven't figured out how to/dont have the time to torrent them. Hopefully your copies are better than mine! My Florence 80 DVD has been transferred from a so-so VHS of late 80s vintage.....full of coolour bleed through and saturation....

sorry MG that last post was me - forgot to put my name in..

My ratio is under 0.35 and I didn't notice it when it was happening. I still have some original files on my HD I downloaded there but it's impossible now to download a torrent to increase my ratio. I hope I can get this stuff somewhere else

Important because it will be on my Lou Reed DVD series vol. 5.

Wasn't that for the Nelson Mandela concert?

this show was included in a 2DVD set torrented by MCP at MWP last year. (all good quality, though i think the beginning of don kirschner is missing)
