A previously unreleased live version of Lou Reed’s “Sweet Jane” has hit the web. The track is pulled from a new release titled Lou Reed and Kris Kristofferson: In Their Own Words with Vin Scelsa. The live release was recorded at New York’s Bottom Line venue and will be released on September 15. “Lou was very comfortable on the Bottom Line stage,” Gregg Bendian, the club’s archivist and producer of the Bottom Line Archive Series, tells Billboard. “He loved the Bottom Line. Live: Take No Prisoners (1978) was recorded at the Bottom Line.” “It’s very intense,” Bendian notes. “All of the songs where Lou plays by himself, you can hear the audience hanging on every word and every sound. Throughout the whole evening the audience is gasping. The audience is laughing. The audience is interacting with (Reed and Kristofferson). Lou just lets it all hang out; He’s funny, he’s irascible, he’s sarcastic. It’s a full Lou experience, and it’s very pared down and very raw.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
