Lou Reed Bottom Line Monday, June 2, 1980

If you have not figured it out by now, I love rock and roll, so next up after three nights of the Grateful Dead at the Nassau Coliseum was a special night in New York City to see Lou Reed at the intimate cabaret club the Bottom Line in downtown Manhattan. The Bottom Line had table seating that was sold out but we managed to somehow get general admission standing room for the show which entitled you to squeeze in at the bar located to the left of the stage. Lou Reed was at the height of his powers and his band was tight. The Bottom Line was a very cool venue with a lot of history and was one of my favorite places to go to see a show at the time; seeing the great Lou Reed on that tiny stage is an image emblazoned in my memory.
