I lived in NYC in 89/90 for some months and loved New York. Bought the CD when it came out. Copied it on cassette and listened to the tape over and over on my yellow Sony Walkman while riding the subway or crossing Manhatten by foot. Very personal memories though I missed Lou performing live but saw Richie Havens and Joan Baez playing live in Central Park. Great time. What an awesome album. Blue man group just started out at Astor Theatre then, Cafe Wah was still hip...
Doesn’t get much better than this. Phenomenal band and Lou at the top of his game. Incidentally, the title of this video is rather misleading. It is not the full album. After the final number performed here, namely Hold On, there are four more tracks on the album. Good Evening Mr.Waldheim, Xmas In February, Strawman and Dime Store Mystery. Weather Lou and the band carried on and played those last four numbers or not, we may never know. Only the people in the audience that night could tell us that.

I've loved his "Take a Walk on the Wild side" ever since it came out on FM radio" and today is the 1st time I've listened and watched this incredible concert and lm 68!
This is a giant piece of f****** art! A gift to the world & extra special present to New York. It feels like 100 yrs ago ,but seems like last weeklscan't believe I waited in a line to buy this album the day it came out (Lou was popular in New Orleans & there was some hype on this one) I remember rushing home unwrapping & cleaning the deep fresh grooves with my Discwasher & carefully letting the arm down, hearing the stylus thread in as I sat back to look at the cover art & read the liner notes & instantaneously being transformed to New York for 45 minites. Then doing all again. as one of the most
Can't believe I'm still just as in love with this album as ever! Sweet Lou at his very peak & the band deep in the sweet spot. New York has to rank with the best rocknroll albums all time. But it is probably the most fully completely perfectly made album ever. Every song is solid, several are great & 2 or 3are really special! Song order is perfect, run time of every tune is
Spot on, Eno & Lou's production work is impeccable etc. It's all just absolutely perfect! Great albums stand the test of time & Lou Reed can be very proud of how well this work has held up. Dirty Blvd. was written & performed to perfection for the time & space it was created in, but it sounds almost just as on point today & still could in another decade. My favorite cut has always been "There is no time" it just rocks ass but the damndest thing of all is if I close my eyes to listen to it now, 40 plus years later & you were to tell me it just dropped last week, I'd believe you 100! Surely this song was written for this very moment in time, after the rough couple of years us lucky ones have lived through & still more seemingly treacherous times with hard, monumental & potentially dangerous choices ahead? There is no time is the damn theme song for April 1 2022!!! I am glad that Lou didn't have to see all of it though...
Damn. Had this cassette in 1990 and sadly one of those that got lost along the way when CDs were coming out. I forgot how many great songs are on this set-No Time-amazing. Last Great American whale...Superb! RIP Lou. Got to buy the new remastered release asap.
What an incredible backing band. Totally in sync in that disconnected Lou way. Special talent to be able to adjust like that. The drummer rules the world.
@@danielandforok That's so cool because there is so much to explore... I don't know if you know his 'Berlin' album/CD but it 's really powerful when you are in melancholy mood. It's a concept piece and tells a very interesting story... Thanks for messaging back! Enjoy!
Borrowed my friend's tape of this album in 89 and I listened to it over and over. It was the first CD I bought and then saw him live in Berkeley. Amazing concert!! Love and miss this master of punk and rock. No one else like him!
Rob Wasserman was a seriously wicked virtuoso. The way he is able to bend notes like that and pkay so high with such expression is a joyto hear. From John Cale to Prakash John and Fernando Saunders, Lou has always had the best, most creative bass players. Joel
In the blistering summer of '89 I'd sit on my fire escape in the hazy nights above a dirty Blvd listening to this tape on my Walkman. Can't thank you enough for this upload, brought back so many memories of my life as a young man in NYC.

YEAH LOU I AM TOO YOUNG THAT LISTEN TO YOU AND THE VELVET UNDERGROUND BUT I WAS AT 3 OF YOUR CONCERTS IN LJUBLJANA SLOVENIA AND ENJOYED YOU DIED THE SAME YEAR AS MY MAMA IN AN ACCIDENT I FEEL BITTER TASTE IN MY MOUTH I MISS YOU BOTH AND LOU YOUR MUSIC IS TIMELESS
Bien évidemment j'adore Lou REED, la douceur et la violence de sa voix, son jeu de guitare si particulier, sa sensibilité......Mais n'en déplaise aux Internautes, le concert que je préfère c'est : BERLIN . Et moi aussi, la créativité de ses nouveaux albums me manque...... Lou REED nous rappelle que l'on va tous vieillir puis mourir un jour .......😜🥵💔
It is a display of music, words, Lou Reed was the one just right, his songs expressed an age, it defines those cool art times, it expressed reality in a special way
This Lovely Genuis ( Who i met once and cried after with Tears of Joy ) He is as important in the last 100 years aas Edgar Alan Poe And Shakespeare !!!
Saw Lou do this live at the St. Augustine, FL tour stop. Thanks to my buddy Chuck for turning me on to this album and a lot of other great music. Love ya' buddy!
Superb!! Heard the album a while back but live so good too.. genius music 🙏 gone to this life Spirit still here in this and next.. kinda music/songs that last as long as anything real does
I don't care what other people say about Lou. That he was hostile, or that his music was too mediocre. I value his honesty. I value the fact that he showed his discontent with life. The guy really laid the groundwork for what alternative rock is all about.
....in these days of choreographed, scripted, remastered everything, my heart cries out for real, raw, authentic people and music....this goes a long way toward meeting my need....wake up world....
New York tour was fucking fucking very 2much fucking fucking good yess Bsrcelona..hey Lou we never forget U great Lou thanks brada..what a night man !! Ufff!!! Yessss?!!! Good good yeah..bog Lou nevet forget that!!?..mever !!! Cant explsin...yesss fuckin 2much... !!!!!!!!
Mike Rathke is an incredibly underrated guitarist. I never thought that much about him until now. Him and Lou were great at interweaving lines together. Has he done anything else? Anyone know a bit about his bio? Joel
This album is a classic , i saw lou once live in Paris, i think it was parc du prince , not sure, saw him In ngland also but as velvert undergound, what a loss to usall
What an incredible album. I still remember buying it, a cassette, in 1989. Great stuff. I really miss Lou.
One of Lou's best albums...epic
Me too. Wore that cassette out, then later bought the CD.
Bowie called him the King of New York that'll do for me L.O.U x

A masterpiece.Thank you Lou.Miss you😢
I was watching this video, and decided to scroll down so I could comment "Absolute masterpiece!" - And the first comment was yours - spot on!
This album is one of the best of Lou, and how he played it in live was absolutely createve and fresh.
this album is pure genius
True dat my friend
En zo is dat!!
New York and Berlin
À
I saw Lou perform the New York album at the Cincinnati Music Hall in 1988 and it was by far the best concert I ever attended.

and there being 70 thought i heard it all from Lou and then ran across this recording / video...tks for the upload...love you Lou...R.I.P.
I did see Lou Reed for the first time in Amsterdam, 1972, the last time
in 2007, also in Amsterdam, the Berlin tour. I do miss him still.
I have seen him many times too, also the last time in Amsterdam , the Berlin tour. One of my favorite musicians from 1967
till 2013
I've loved his "Take a Walk on the Wild side" ever since it came out on FM radio" and today is the 1st time I've listened and watched this incredible concert and lm 68!
@@juliacichon7125 hey I’m 71 and knew of Walk on the Wild side and that’s as it! Man have I found a gem in Mr. Lou Reed! Better late than never! ✌🏻
Fabulous band backing Lou's great songs and wonderful lyrics. RIP Lou, you are missed but not forgotten.
One of Reed's best records! Not a bum song on it. I believe this is where he achieved his goal of making a great novel via a rock n roll record.
Oh totally❤... Not only this. But yea it's quite that. Makes it even more... Gripping gritting gutwrenching epic and powerful
Is there some comment missing here or something? Or it's just me that cant quite recollect the context xD 🤔
A great social commentary!
Just found this. I’ll always love this album. His best.

i live in new orleans! i am sad that I only got to see Lou Live Once in NYC..
Good one! And thanks for the new word - sure beats the original!
So Simple So Pure So Gold!!! 3 Chords... it's Rock'n'Roll!
Unbelievably transcendent, the great Lou Reed !!!!!!!
Still remember how I recorded it on the VHS cassette and listened to it countless times...

Been listening to this album non-stop the past two weeks. Sooo good.
This album is very relevant in 2021
One of the best albums of all time,one of the best live gigs of all time! You can't beat two guitars,bass and drums. Lou Reed,'89.💙⭐.
the lyricist close to my heart, poet and performer.
I often forget how crafty Lou can be on his SG. It's nice to be reminded Ty for posting. NY is a gem & that doo wop stuff closing H.P. .... Oh man
This is magic... can't believe the sound quality here. Gotta get the deluxe boxed set....
i am ftom Hollan
mr. lapoR te: The Berlin albun was a master peace!. te

Yeah, LOUUUUUUUU
And something flickered for a minute...and then vanished and was gone...
Such a great album.
great album from start to finish,grass roots music at its best.
What is grass roots music?
Dirty Boulevard has some of the most poignant lyrics ever written. Luv that song
wow. this was Lou at a peak. I can sense some real passion and tightness.
Borrowed my friend's tape of this album in 89 and I listened to it over and over. It was the first CD I bought and then saw him live in Berkeley. Amazing concert!! Love and miss this master of punk and rock. No one else like him!
A great video of an album I paid little attention to at the time.

one of my all time favorits, brilliant!
Lou was the king his fender
Riped higher notes any rock start .God I miss him .
he always played weird custom guitars

Your time stamps are way off and as others have mentioned the last 5 songs are missing.
yeah these stamps are absolutely terrible
Thank you. Just having the set list is good enough for me. Nothing to complain about !
those are the track lengths from the album
tahnks so much ¿ colega!
I will never tire of listening to Lou's insight.
The town story teller, so many stories.😢
There is no time. He knew already then what is happening wright now in the whole world and especially in the US.
Słucham Lou Reeda płyty "New York"
Kocham Cię jak nigdy dotąd.
Coś się zmieniło bez wątpienia...
I only saw Lou once and it was on this tour.
2024 , cercasi sulla scena del rock roll ,un nuovo Lou Reed …… impossibile , inimitabile, geniale unico…..immortale ❤
Come disse Moravia per Pasolini , uomini cosi ne possono comparire 2 o 3 per secolo. Abbiamo perduto un artista diverso.
thank you , Lou was the man ,out there with my dr , peter rowland
Who is Bob behind drums? He is not on the records I have and not on other live gigs I've found in youtube.
Lou is the man he's still with you as long as you play his stuff
that bass sounds great!
The great wasserman... Basserman. Ahah. Dearly missed
N.Y.! Super LP CD!!
Lindo, maravilhoso. Um dos melhores dele, sem dúvida.
Thank you for the post.I saw Lou perform this album before it's release at Widner Univ. And yes he was freshly New York.
amazing how connected he is to his live version. he gives 110%
C@ralho...Lou era uma músico completo! Impossível não sentir nada ao ouvir uma canção dele!
This is a great album.i have the cd.
Thank you Lou
Forever in my ❤
this record is fantastic
'Well one thing is certainly true
no one here knows what to do
I'm Sick of You'
Absolute timeless classic.
I had the pleasure of meeting Lou in person. It gives me despair knowing that I will never see him live again, Rip Lou.
He's lyrics are so realistic and humourus in parts and all of the rest of the human emotional spectrum.. Delivery is spot on.. 😁
Lisa says...What an Awesome album. Thanks for sharing..

Lou Reed for President 2024!
that would be as bit hard
Si.@@GrumPeLemminG
he is the greatest
Great rocck poetry
Tipos así No mueren nunca😉!!!
Aguante Lou Reed.
Quando quero saber como vai as ruas de NY, escuto o Lou. Minha crônica mais sincera das ruas.
Saw this at Wembley Stadium, it gave me a busload of faith.
It takes a busload of faith to get by.
This Lovely Genuis ( Who i met once and cried after with Tears of Joy ) He is as important in the last 100 years aas Edgar Alan Poe And Shakespeare !!!
He has been my hero since the sixties. He speaks for me. A dark streak runs through him.

Superb!! Heard the album a while back but live so good too.. genius music 🙏 gone to this life Spirit still here in this and next.. kinda music/songs that last as long as anything real does
lou forever!

I primi 30 min.. Bellissimi
This live session actually sounds more coherent and polished than the "New York" album. Great live recording!
I had the pleasure of seeing him in the old "Dramático Cascais"
He had a lyrical brilliance similar to that of Bob Dylan. He was a uniquely talented man. ❤❤
...and it sounds very good!!!
this song is fantastic I'm so sad. but the whole album performed from song 1 to the end It was unbelievable at the Beacon Theater.
New York tour was fucking fucking very 2much fucking fucking good yess Bsrcelona..hey Lou we never forget U great Lou thanks brada..what a night man !! Ufff!!! Yessss?!!! Good good yeah..bog Lou nevet forget that!!?..mever !!! Cant explsin...yesss fuckin 2much... !!!!!!!!
Bienaventurados los k lo disfrutamos
Hay mucho bobo k no sabe de esto
Cool, this is great
Caught between the twisted stars, the plotted lines, the faulty map that brought Columbus to New York.
heaven is here
RIP Lou!!!
Visto nel 88...brividi❤💪
21:40 great solo by lou
Lou Always with me❤️
I want that bass player to play at my funeral
everybody does
THANK YOU!!!!!
very consistent, goodsoundtoo
You can't beat two guitars, bass and drums.
Lembro-me que a cassete VHS que tinha este concerto gravado estava completamente gasta.
