+Bob Hatcher Good call! I looked him up and he played bass on the Rock and Roll Animal album and the like. He looked familiar for sure. He is actually my age. Crazy times back then! I only saw Lou once and he was acoustic in SF, maybe about 1980...
I was 23 in 1974 and just got out of the Navy the previous year. This album blew me away. Especially the song "Heroin". I still have this recording in my pickup truck and listen to it often.
Here I am in 2023, half-way through my 7th decade on this planet and I HAVE to say this was PEAK Lou Reed right here. I hope the truly discerning appreciate it for what it is!
I didn't know Dick Wagner was with LR. He sure got around. Saw him with Alice Cooper in Detroit around '76. (According to Gene Simmons, he played uncredited on a Kiss LP when A Frehley wasn't showing up)
what I like best about seeing him play live is that every shot of him is a picture, he has such a strong bold image, how he wears those shades and his facial expressions, every move is a picture.
@@SmeeUncleJoe no,I ment '73 but I just looked up the release date and it came out Feb '74. So it was probably recorded in '73 to get it out by Feb '74. I was only 12 then so I wasn't rockin' yet😅
@@timhoovermusicman Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner recorded the studio album Berlin with Lou Reed.

Kurt Knutsen ya know I was watching a movie tonight called cbgb they had some young dude with a little walk on role he was playing the part of lou reed
I agree, I listen to the first 2:30 and wish there was more. Not that Lou's Jane is bad, but this isn't the best recording.. but best intro for sure. Wish there was more music like the intro though.
He couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, but he was a soulful artist that had that thing which makes the room change when you enter it. The French calll it "je ne sai qui". Or that certain something you can't explain. The It Factor
My Mom grew up listening to Lou reed..take a walk on the wild side, she never knew that all her kids loved the same man in The Velvet Underground..We will miss this amazing man! Lou Reed we love you!
@@KevinHallSurfing Mike lost to prostate cancer. Penti "Whitey" Glan the drummer also passed away, lung cancer, about 4 years ago, I think now, in Barrie Ontario. Prakash John , bass is still alive and well in Toronto area and Danny Weiss retired somewhere in the Collingwood area, an hour north of Toronto, despite being from California. Danny, who was also a founding member of Iron Butterfly looks to be a vision of health as does Prakash.
@@SmeeUncleJoe Whitey was the drummer on the tour in '74. Again didn't know. RIP Who didn't buy "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" when it came out! At least that's good news. Thanks
@@KevinHallSurfing Whitey was also the drummer on Rock & Roll Animal so I think he was with Lou for more than 1 tour. I'm not sure but I believe this Sally Can't Dance tour preceded the R&R Animal tour and Danny was not on it but replaced by Hunter et al. Most of these guys went on to play and tour with Alice Cooper. Danny also had left Iron Butterfly before their Gadda-Da-vita hit. By the way, hilariously, Gadda Da Vida was born of a member's drunken attempt at singing "Garden of Eden".
@@SmeeUncleJoe Haha wouldn't surprise me. I Saw the tour ticketed as "Sally Can't Dance" here in Sydney in August '74 on the back of the album "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" released earlier that year. This is after the '73 Rock 'n' Roll Animal tour. But that's Australia LOL
As a kid growing up in Liverpool - I was always a fan and remain so - This piece is pure as its gets in terms of a tight band - and R&R ...That base could pull me out of bed on a Sat morning -
When you got a tune you can listen to over & over again, you got something you want to hear, like again & again. I could listen to this one over + over, many times - for real - it's killer. I dig it !!!!
Like that with another girl another planet. If, ms. plumleigh, u r unfamiliar avec said track give it a spin 3 times in a row & then decide whether or not it is the best tune ever in the history of the world...ever! If however, ms. plumleigh, u r familiar avec said track u will know exactly wot i mean...xx
According to the notes on a DVD, the band is: Bass - Prakash John Drums - Pentti "Whitey" Glan* Guitar - Danny Weis Keyboards - Michael Fonfara Vocals, Written-By - Lou Reed
Glann and John came from Toronto band Mandala, which evolved into Bush (long before the British band of that name). Domenic Troiano (RIP) (gtr./voc.) and Roy Kenner (voc.) were also in those bands. When Bush split, Troiano and Kenner took Joe Walsh's place in the James Gang, while Whitey and Prakash did Lou Reed and Alice Cooper ('Welcome to My Nightmare' era). Whitey (RIP) is also the drummer seen in Bette Midler's movie, 'The Rose'. Weis, originally with early Iron Butterfly, and Fonfara came from the Electra label supergroup Rhinosceros, best known for their hit instrumental 'Apricot Brandy'. Rhinosceros was a killer band!
@@MrCherryJuice Absolutely correct ! and the drum solo in "Department of Youth" from the "Welcome To My Nightmare" live concert DVD is jaw dropping...."Later..Hozen" :-)
I think they are comparing the intro to SJ on Rock $ Roll Animal. I think both intros are awesome. And this performance once he comes on stage is better. Non the less I like both versions. But this one makes wants dance. Dunno, He was like Bowie. Always changing like a chameleon on a multi colored carpet.
I first got the LP in about 1985 or 86 when Lou Reed was on the spoken words tour. I was mostly into The Doors, the Stones , early Led Zep , Sabbath and heavy rock. Somehow this got placed on the player when the parents went out ! It was the music of The Outsider -- dark & raw macbre soulful bleak ~ and Lou was a sort of 70s Jim Morrison -- yet somehow far more real and more more urgent He didnt just want to Break on Through ; he actually lived in the Other Side and ... called it HOME ! Lou was tough minded, street smart ; cranky as Hell .... and brutally honest in his assessment of the grubby world around him filled with Lost Souls . This was actual poetry from the Streets; not some idealistic Love Street ! Today its a classic live LP and Lou is RIP.😢 The intro is mind boggling thanks to Steve Hunter who wrote it. I guess he is finally happy and at peace.
When I listen to you guys, it takes me to a whole Nother level and I always wanna go to another level. Yes they’re amazing. You guys should lead any any movement in the stage of reality.
This is so fu**ing sonically brilliant, so creatively beautiful. I found solace in your music through a lot of ups and downs in my life, and continue to play your tracks and your VU tracks in my set every night!! RIP and thanks Lou for your innovative and uncompromising stance in your music and focus on life of the planet. I can't quantify how much respect, I have for you and your music, I'll love your music 'til the day I die.!! My thoughts are also with you, and your Wife Laurie!!
Luv to return to this dazzling intro. 70s Porn staches, low down bass, riveting build up and Lou in his glorious bad 70s self! All heavenly wine and roses. RIP
Totally agree. really great band...and that funk! Lou never knocked me out, as he always sounded like they pulled someone up from the audience...but what a great band, and he put his time in working his moves.
Danny Weis combining his funky rhythms with chicken pickin fills. Vey few guys on the planet can pull that off. Back then nobody was doing that. Killer!!
this grand bass player is: Prakash John. John was recruited in 1971 by George Clinton to work with Parliament/Funkadelic on the albums Chocolate City and America Eats Its Young while sharing bass playing duties with Bootsy Collins on tour. He later appeared on several rock albums and tours of the 1970s such as Lou Reed's Rock n Roll Animal, Lou Reed Live and Sally Can't Dance, as well as Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare, The Alice Cooper Show, Lace and Whiskey, and Dada.
Great coked out version of Sweet Jane! Holy mother, that's some crazy grooves for that melody. Anyway, what Lou Reed was unmatched in so many ways, even when out of his mind he was entertaining.

That is the coolest bass player ever, scowling, chewing gum, looking side to side and GETTING DOWN.
+Konig Corvus his name Prakash John he lives in Toronto has played with Bush Edgar Winter George Clinton, James Brown.
Check out his bio the man is amazingly great. Needless to say a fantastic bass player.

Craig Love. Saw Prakash with Bush in Toronto George Oliver and Domenic Trioano. Back in the sixties.
Craig Love singer Roy Kenner in Bush not George Oliver he was in Mandala with Domenic. George is 70 still singing.
1974 I just turned 14. bought rock and roll animal. my life has never been the same !
I was 12,I hadn't figured it out yet.
I was 23 in 1974 and just got out of the Navy the previous year. This album blew me away. Especially the song "Heroin". I still have this recording in my pickup truck and listen to it often.
Meet The Beatles
you could tow a dump truck out of the mud with that base line
Bass line from the depths of hell.
yep..lol
Rickenbacher bass... super phat.
That's one torquey ass bass line, no doubt.
AA: Folks are inventing new words-- adjectives, yes, but it's a start. Fascinating thread.

Ditto
I give more valor to the VU
We do
Can’t not love it
Gracias humano, jejejeee😝🥃🇪🇸🇦🇨
The intro on the Rock n Roll Animal album is an incredible piece with Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on guitars!!!! One of the best live albums EVER!!!
Rock and roll animal is a great album and I don't even like Lou Reed
Really
It would be nothing without Prakash John on bass
I didn't know Dick Wagner was with LR. He sure got around. Saw him with Alice Cooper in Detroit around '76. (According to Gene Simmons, he played uncredited on a Kiss LP when A Frehley wasn't showing up)
Rock and Roll Animal, Ziggy Stardust and Exile on Mail street was my world in Montreal.
You know shit gets real when the guy busts out the tambourine
yeah - lack of cow bell sucks though!
Truth
The man on Keyboards & Tambourine is The Great-Late SENSATIONAL LEGEND MICHAEL FONFARA! XO Miss Ya, My Friend!
Was there. Utterly far out. Lou was our hero!
Coke, aspiring session musicians, Lou Reed and the 70’s proves that music once existed.
Yeah, we got Talking Heads
Heroin
I totally concur with that statement!!💜
Amazing bassline Prakash...seriously, that is killer bass!
Prakash John is the man.
what I like best about seeing him play live is that every shot of him is a picture, he has such a strong bold image, how he wears those shades and his facial expressions, every move is a picture.
he has? you mean he had..he for sure was not this hot soon after..
He is a rock n roll star and does not just play one on tv. He lived it. They electrocuted him for christs sake!
The bass player looks like an Italian statue.
De LO me
Jor del rock. 💋😝🥃😝
Drivers License and Insurance please !
First time I've seen this, and did not know it even existed. Just incredible.
RIP Lou. What would the world be like without your influence? You left your mark and you will be missed!
Just "Lou" It!
Speed freak from Warhol's Factory- NEW YORK was a masterpiece "last"album
Why are you leaving comments to a dead person?
Got to see Lou live back then..nodded out during the show
I play this video at least 4 times a week. That bass player personifies the 70's. He is "IN THE GROOVE"
Go and find the version off rock and roll animals a year before,Steve hunter and Dick Wagoner killing it on guitar
@@timhoovermusicman I think you mean a year after, not sure.
Look up Prakash John on youtube. He's still doing it.
@@SmeeUncleJoe no,I ment '73 but I just looked up the release date and it came out Feb '74. So it was probably recorded in '73 to get it out by Feb '74. I was only 12 then so I wasn't rockin' yet😅

Man this was back in '74 The last of good rock.
Coolest bass player I've ever seen...

Terrance Hewitt good song
Meet Lou in nyc,he is missed!
Kurt Knutsen ya know I was watching a movie tonight called cbgb they had some young dude with a little walk on role he was playing the part of lou reed
He is missed in Paris too.
Terrence Hewitt well, also a jewish one
No offence to Lou, but the best part of this is that incredible groove before he comes on, that is fantastic stuff! Good ole Canadian boys.
I agree, I listen to the first 2:30 and wish there was more. Not that Lou's Jane is bad, but this isn't the best recording.. but best intro for sure. Wish there was more music like the intro though.
The bass player is out of this world with that funk rocket. He's high as balls too though but the intro is the reason I have so many views on this
The intro is awesome indeed.
@@accuser_of_the_brethren7816 Prakash John on bass and from what he says he was stone cold sober all the years with Lou Reed and Alice Cooper etc.
@@buckodonnghaile4309 Yup.
the great Prakash John on bass!
Thanks for naming him, just discovered this performance and am blown away by his playing 😮
I wanted that first part of the jam to last forever!!! Badass bass rift!!!!😎
Amen you just don’t get that anymore.
Funky Groooove!! 😂
Back when Lou Reed was the epitome of Rock & Roll, and the coolest man on the planet.
dead or alive still is
Right on ! Cool as
He couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, but he was a soulful artist that had that thing which makes the room change when you enter it. The French calll it "je ne sai qui". Or that certain something you can't explain. The It Factor
@@AbbyNormal777 I wonder if they were smoking the French poison hay 😄
And still is...
I still love this extraordinary performance after countless viewings.
Focking great version here! RIP Lou Reed- The original rock n' roll animal!
The original rock n roll animal ... long live his music ... RIP ...
That was amazing, I can only imagine how good it would have been if his mic was plugged in.
Saw him in Glasgow around that time...amazing!
That opening bass line is just BAD ASS!!!! I wanna jam now;)
My Mom grew up listening to Lou reed..take a walk on the wild side, she never knew that all her kids loved the same man in The Velvet Underground..We will miss this amazing man! Lou Reed we love you!
When the video starts it looks super seventies and dated - then Lou walks on stage and looks timeless.
Rotunda y exata frase. eso es..Lou Reed parece de otra epoca posterior..tan tan moderno.Divino.
Lou best look ever
Yeah Lou added a timeless 5th dimension
My pal Prakash on bass, still playing R&B with his son in TO...oh sweet Jane! Prakash born in Mumbai, a child of the Raj!
You say that like it's a good thing.
He is a fantastic bass player!
How did your friend end up playing with the velvets?
In reference to qualifying the comment from dwightfartschrute above, was Prakash a porn star too?
Cool!
WoW. Now that's a tight groove. The bass just melted my face off. Great band.
So what you been up to the last 10yrs
thats Prackash John
one of the most underated bassists ever, it mystified me at the time that he never made any of those best-x-player lists
A classic since I was a kid and it never gets old .....
Lou has the coolest entrance of all time...the band plays this epic intro and then he just prowls right up to the mic...a true RockN'Roll god...
Yea man, and you can see him hanging before he comes out, clapping and moving. He dug this wicked bassline like all of us do
Yes
Yes, but with such a long intro what else could he have done? It would have been awkward for him to just dance in front of the mic without singing.
The term "RockN'Roll god" has been so watered down by amateur groupies that it's basically now meaningless.

Lou Reed’s concerts in Paris were the best. The public loved him and he was inspired.
Totally agree. Remember the 1972 Ba-Ta-Clan concert
Americans are so very prudish, I can see this
great band.
loved it again 5 years later.... nice
How on earth have so many downvoted this video? This is epic.
Because he needed his mike turned up. Sorry I really was grooving with the tight band and wanted to hear him, like hear the words
"My tambourine sounds weird!? Oh wait, I forgot to pick it up."
outstanding!
Hilarious!
ROFLMAO!!!
What an awesome band - how can you dislike this?

Never had the pleasure of seeing this one!! I love it!! Lou's RNR Animal has to be in my top ten of ROCK N ROLL LPs ever! Thanks for sharing this!!!
Introduced to Lou Reeds music early 80’s in US Navy. Still blown away!
if that was the only song of the night that Lou played,
that show was the best rock concert of the year.
There is NOBODY like Lou Reed. Have seen him live and he's not like any other rock performer (except maybe David Bowie). He was amazing in concert !
What an amazing jam. The extended intro amazing. I guess these types of jams went out with the 70s.
I think they are comparing the intro to SJ on Rock $ Roll Animal. I think both intros are awesome. And this performance once he comes on stage is better. Non the less I like both versions. But this one makes wants dance. Dunno, He was like Bowie. Always changing like a chameleon on a multi colored carpet.

THE "HOOD"-THE INTRO TO THIS number on
"Rock'n'Roll Animal" is the VERY best intro ever bar non-dont argue-ha ha
