Missing Pale Blue Eyes

True to the spirit of a Friday night, I have found an extremely rare black and white video of Lou Reed accompanied by John Cale and Nico. They were on stage for the first time since the break up of the Velvet Underground. The legendary show was recorded at the Bataclan Club in Paris, on January 29th, 1972, by Claude Ventura.



The video offers five songs: Berlin, I'm Waiting For The Man, Heroin, Ghost Story and Femme Fatale. Sadly no "Pale Blue Eyes," a favorite of mine and someone's special in New York (I think).

 

While you settle for a picture, I will excuse myself for a weekend treat.
