From the british invasion crowd. There were the top 2, then these guys weren't far behind for me. Formed in 1962, they didn't hit these shores
until 66, with Bus Stop. The hits were steady after that up into the 70's. After it was announced that co-founder Graham Nash was leaving in
1968, I thought it was over. Then came Long Cool Woman, He Ain't Heavy, and The Air That I Breathe. Not a beat was missed. Unbelievable that the
group has never officially disbanded. Lineup changes of course, and the hits stopped long ago but they are still touring and had an album as
recent as 2009. The last one I remember is A Crazy Steal in 1978, and I'm not sure I would be willing to take a chance on anything after that. I
would rather they stay in my memory with those hits that are covered on this compilation, which run from 66-73. I have this album on vinyl, but
it is one of those that is worth having on cd also. Missing from my vinyl is the last track on here which was added for this release. Seems my
mate CH is going to see these guys soon in Oz. It would be depressing for me to see these old men, but I hope it's a good show.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

LOU REED "rock and roll animal" cd, 1974

album chart stats:
US..........#42
UK..........#26
AU..........#20

Lou's fifth solo album was a "live" album...
now, im not really a fan of Reed but htis live set is brilliant...
his live versions of the songs are more 'edgy','raw' and packed with 'emotion' than those from the sterile studio environment..
i also love the extended guitar jams on the songs,though not the same as Neil Young and Crazy Horse, but like NY, you can feel Reed getting "into" what he
is playing 100%...
the original vinyl album only has five tracks on it becasue two of those tracks last inexcess of 10minutes each, thankfully the cd has more room for time than vinyl so we get two additional tracks on the cd version(tracks 3 and 4 being the bonus tracks from that taped gig)...
all up, a superb live album IMO, up there with KISS' "alive",Dire Straits "alchemy",NY's "live rust" and Weller's "live wood" albums!
i dont like scoring live albums because they are live, but i do love listening to this one whenever it comes out of the pile of cds...
"allmusic" rate this one a converted 2.7, which seems justified IMO, i'll try to find a couple of links from this gig on youtube for you guys:

album tracks:

1. sweet jane
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FdWPeHFAMk audio
2. heroin
3. how do you think it feels
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di_9SixWCOM audio
4. caroline says i
5. white light/white heat
6. lady day
7. rock and roll

Sorry regulars, I know I am boring you to tears but I decided to listen to this again tonight - blows me away every time. Takes me to another place. Mind numbingly beautiful. - http://youtu.be/9zACEJdFOpA
