Rock 'n' Roll!

Coming from a discussion on the longevity, influence, and changeability of Lou Reed, beginning with a look at a early days, such as described in a BBC article, including "Heroin" "Walk on the Wild Side", and other folk-rock-poetry anthems.

And still being emulated, reworked and performed today, like pointedly more mellow cover from Andrew Bird, released today.

So my bottom line is that what most stuck in my head for the longest time during my music-biz days - from Lou Reed - was this, Rock & Roll. It just struck me that I think I was at the concert where this was recorded. Checking the description, oh yes: I was there for this.
Great sound recording, acoustics, and performance. What blew me away most (live and then later with good speakers or phones) -
Around 4:40 in it tones down the rock rhythms and does this thing "like flanging" with the guitar and scrapes away back to rock. Hm.
