Looking back, it’s very interesting to note that both Lou Reed and John Cale almost simultaneously created some of the best music of their solo careers, releasing albums that would define the next few decades of their careers.

We covered Lou Reed’s “Transformer” last show, so now it’s Cale’s turn. With a few extra minutes, we add tracks from a live reunion at Le Bataclan in 1972 that existed as a popular bootleg for decades but was ‘officially’ released in 2004.

Featured songs include:

Child’s Christmas in Wales

Hanky Panky Nohow

The Endless Plain of Fortune

Andalucia

Macbeth

Paris 1919

Graham Greene

Half Past France

Antarctica Starts Here

Ghost Story

Empty Bottles

All Tomorrow’s Parties
