The setlists for these early 1977 concerts were among the most varied of Lou's career. Although the shows were ostensibly to promote "Rock And Roll Heart", they didn't usually feature many songs from that LP. In reality, Lou was trying out the ideas and songs which would eventually form "Street Hassle". Of the songs on this (incomplete?) recording from Groningen, "Better Get Up And Dance" and "Affirmative Action (PO #99)" would subsequently be abandoned completely. "Such A Pretty Face" would eventually mutate into "Wait": it would later appear on the "Street Hassle" LP along with "Shooting Star", "Real Good Time Together" and "Gimmie Some Good Times". Lou would never be so unpredictable again!
I dont know where the good folks at Midnight Beat sourced the material for their 1997 "Banging On My Drums" bootleg CD set, but they did a great job. I was more than happy to pay out good money to hear these gems......

Note DAD (my source here) does not allow multiple dates on a singular torrent. The bootleg itself has more tracks.

Alright,this one is a little complex so bear with me:
1.Its a TWO-CD album for the record.
Don't know if you want it (& if so tell me how to get it to you),but I have the 1st CD in its entirety...however its mp3 320.
2.Your art link is non-extant...but on the site itself the link takes you to, you can find the front & back cover under Lou Reed,1970s.
3.Yes, it IS (as the back cover pic will show you) dated May 02...actually the songs from the 2 sides are dated all over the place...so if any fans are such purists they want single concert events onbly,this ain't for them.
By the way,where is your info from that corrects the May to the November date?
4. As it turns out I had NONE of your side 2...so you are doing ME a real favor here...thank you.
5. Lastly,here's my text file (which sounds intriguing in the audience-Reed interaction,from my side 1:
