I sometimes wish I was around to see him, them all back then! Imagining how it may have been. But realizing, I'd likely end up just the same... Damn he was great!
My favorite Lou Reed song. I knew of this song from the "Pass Thru Fire" book of Lou Reed's lyrics before hearing the song. This song set me down a road of seeing Lou Reed 5 times between 2003 and 2006, being invited backstage by Lou Reed (another story) after the 2003 Wiltern show that was recorded for the Animal Serenade album, writing papers about Lou Reed at university, and just recently visiting New York to see the new Lou Reed exhibit. Lou Reed is my favorite writer and songwriter and no song or piece of writing compares to this for me. I wish I could explain why in a deeper, logical, and more academic way, but sometimes it's just a feeling...
I feel so blessed to have been young and growing up in NYC during the 70s and 80s where Lou Reed was, is and will always be the world's greatest rock-god-poet. The mold has been broken, never to be recast.
There were only a handful of really good drummers who were musicians and Tony Smith with Lou Reed is one of the best. Watch him at and after 3:50. Although he is in groove from beginning he gets in the ZONE and the autopilot i call the FLOW....the music is in his head and he loves it.
Did not know of this drummer, he is very good. The balance between keeping it simple and on the beat with a few flourishes at the right points is just perfect. Also good to see a musician clearly enjoying playing, so many particularly in the rock field seem in pain half the time.
Thanks for this post! I can't deal with all the Perfect Day commercial comments anymore. Seems people new to Lou don't realize he did a lot more than write one brilliant song. He was a masterpiece of simple elegant perfection. My heart aches and seems mortally wounded. I was unprepared for this loss.
I don’t know if anyone that plays guitar might recognize the freaking amps and guitars he’s using. I noticed he played classic examples of Gubsons and fenders and the top of the line amplifiers . Busload of faith to get by is a song I p daily.
Thank you for recording and sharing this. The back of our heads are in the vid. We sat in the first row at this show. It's a very memorable show. RIP Lou🖤
By far the best songwriter of the second half of the 20th century. Add the feeling for good simple rock music. Dylan is too complex. Bowie was too pretentious. Reed was good.
i post THIS GREAT lyric and any who reach this have saved themselves and have escaped this darkening world forever/ i am sure the Teacher Jesus would LOVE this song, and The Teacher Buddha also // Lou was a great man Take me for what I am a star newly emerging Long simmering explodes inside the self is reeling In the pocket of the heart, in the rushing of the blood in the muscle of my sex, in the mindful mindless love I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling At 5 am the moon and the sun sit set before my window Light glances off the blue glass we set right before the window And you who accept, in your soul and your head what was misunderstood, what was thought of with dread a new self is born, the other self dead I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling A soul singer stands on the stage the spotlight shows him sweating He sinks to one knee, seems to cry the horn are unrelenting But as the drums beats he finds himself growing hard in the microphone's face he sees HER face growing large and the swelling crescendo no longer retards I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling As the twilight sunburst gleams as the chromium moon it sets As I lose all my regrets and set the twilight reeling I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling
Escucha el final de esta cancion la del video y despues oye sol de invierno de extremoduro, 1992 sol de invierno, 1996 la del video, encuentras algo curioso?

The rhythm section was so Tight. R.I.P. to this legend.
One of my favorite Lou Reed songs and performances.

Steve Paradiso, do you have Lou's Future Farmers of America from Sessions on West 54th?
i post THIS GREAT lyric and any who reach this have saved themselves and have escaped this darkening world forever/ i am sure the Teacher Jesus would LOVE this song, and The Teacher Buddha also // Lou was a great man
Take me for what I am
a star newly emerging
Long simmering explodes
inside the self is reeling
In the pocket of the heart, in the rushing of the blood
in the muscle of my sex, in the mindful mindless love
I accept the new found man
and set the twilight reeling
At 5 am the moon and the sun
sit set before my window
Light glances off the blue glass we set
right before the window
And you who accept, in your soul and your head
what was misunderstood, what was thought of with dread
a new self is born, the other self dead
I accept the new found man
and set the twilight reeling
A soul singer stands on the stage
the spotlight shows him sweating
He sinks to one knee, seems to cry
the horn are unrelenting
But as the drums beats he finds himself growing hard
in the microphone's face he sees HER face growing large
and the swelling crescendo no longer retards
I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling
As the twilight sunburst gleams
as the chromium moon it sets
As I lose all my regrets
and set the twilight reeling
I accept the new found man
and set the twilight reeling
Stir it up...whoops, wrong song.
Plagio de EXTREMODURO!!!!
ufffff
indeed dislike is impossible
John Peters lol still true!!
Dios, Dios, Diiooooooooooosssssss!
Escucha el final de esta cancion la del video y despues oye sol de invierno de extremoduro, 1992 sol de invierno, 1996 la del video, encuentras algo curioso?
Anyone know where the riptide version from this set is? Disappeared from internet. Easily best song here and Lou plays this wacked out solo.
4:10 onwards is plagiarized from the song Extremoduro - Sol de Invierno (1992)
Is Lou playing a Travis Bean guitar?
!!!!!!!
i gave lou reed a book in 1989. true story. it was not a fantastic book. i never finished reading it & i am pretty sure he never did either.
No idea why, but that just had me howling with laughter. Thank you.
la sección instrumental de mitad de la canción es un plagio total a Sol de Invierno de Extremoduro
Lo es, solo faltaba que dijera en ingles, tu eres la reina de las avees y yo un miserable raton
