Lou Reed March 31, 1989 Palace Theater Columbus, Ohio

Touring in support of the fantastic "New York" release, Lou and company made a stop at Columbus' Palace Theater. I've often debated this being his best solo album, or at least my personal favorite- though "The Blue Mask" would rank right up there. As was usual during this tour, he played the entire "New York" album before digging into his vast back catalog. The show was amazing! I've seen Lou a number of times over the years, and this was probably my favorite. I've never had great results recording at the Palace, but other than slightly over modulated, this one turned out pretty well. I recall being way up front, like fifth row or so. Portions of the official "Busload of Faith" video was shot here this night.

My first of several times seeing Lou. What a fantastic show! The bad news is I recorded this with my sub-par recorder. The good news is I found THIS alternate source that was recorded with a "real" recorder. Enjoy this one, my friends.*** R.I.P. Mr. Reed***
