Yeah, lay it on me, dazedcola. I'm in no rush, though, and thanks in advance.
Check out footage of Moore/Brokaw/Heyner/Lubelski/Shelley from the SXSW Ecstatic Peace showcase featuring
a blissful performance of
"I'm Not A Young Man Anymore" direct .mp4 video download here inspired by the recent surfacing of the VU Gymnasium '67 boot.

There's lots of other amazing monster clips from this show too (check the sidebar).
And Lou and Thurston shared billing last month at the festival in Austin at Fader Fort.
Yo La Tengo (known for their VU covers), Thurston and others (such as Moby) played two songs each as part of a Lou Reed Tribute showcase. Too bad The Feelies weren't there.
The Village Voice (more specifically, staff writer Bill "Square" Jensen) referred to Thurston's two solo covers as an "unimpressive romp."
For the finale, Lou came out and one song performed was "Walk On the Wild Side."

He closed by boasting to the audience, "I love punk rock...and I was the first."
A few days later, Lou was back in NYC at Joe's Pub accompanying the love of his life, Laurie Anderson, for a special show. There's a video online for "The Lost Art of Conversation."

Laurie utilizes the joint as a sounding board sometimes. Lou played there last year in a special performance with Pete Townshend.
