Album Notes & Community Reviews

Famously captured on a portable cassette recorder by Andy Warhol associate Brigid Polk, this extraordinarily lo-fi document captures Lou Reed's final performance with the group. Despite the terrible fidelity, the gentle, almost folk-rock arrangements offer a uniquely intimate, conversational glimpse into the band's final moments of cohesion.
