was very atmospheric, and the pieces performed to two Lou Reed numbers (All Tomorrow's Parties and I'm waiting for the man) were very well done. I wonder what Mr Reed thinks of this, some 35 years after it was originally released? I doubt that this was on his mind at the time of writing though.

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
