Farewell, Lou Reed

One of my early favorites during his Velvet Underground years and solo beyond, Lou Reed passed away today.  I will probably never forget some of his work, particularly Sweet Jane, Walk on the Wild Side, and of course Heroin. So let's see if we can find some performances:

circa 1972?

1982, live:

circa 1967 (Velvet Underground & Nico)?
from Rock n Roll Animal (there are at least three or four distinctly different versions of Sweet Jane)


Brian Eno is to have said that even though very few people heard his first album, almost all of those who did, formed a band. Lou Reed, rock on.
