In 1978 the midst of the punk rock revolution he helped inspire, Lou Reed released the album Street Hassle, a disc described as raw, wounded and unapologetic. Most of the early punk records could have been described in the same terms. Yet, at the time, Reed had little if any use for the punk scene. He was quoted as saying "I'm too literate to be into punk rock . . . The whole CBGB's, new Max's thing that every one's into and what's going on in London—you don't seriously think I'm responsible for what's mostly rubbish?" Reed's comments show just how splintered rock and roll had become as the decade of the 1970s wound to a close. This soundboard recording captures Reed about a month after the release of Street Hassle, at the Old Waldorf Theater in San Francisco on March 22, 1978, 42 years ago today. Download this one to hear a veteran who could hold his own with the new generation of angry young rockers who were coming of age at the time.
