[Lou]: Hello, sorry we're late, but we were just tuning
[fan]: Lou Reed, best!

[Lou]:
What's the matter, they keep you waiting or something…
Are we late?
It's raining out there...
What do you mean it's raining out? We know it's fucking raining out…
Man, the guy who tightened this microphone is Godzilla ... I can’t, look at that, look at that
I better either grow an inch, man - or I need a boyfriend

[Fan1]: Need a what? Need a what?

[Lou]: A boyfriend, can't you fucking hear what's wrong with you?

[Fan1]: Need a what?

[Fans]: Come on now, Sweet Jane!

[Fan1]: I heard that

[Lou]: I'm gonna quote a line like like from from Yeats
I think it is, like, for you
And that's called the best lack all convictions
While the best are filled -
No, no it's the other way round
The best lack all convictions
And the worst are filled with a passionate intensity
Now you figure out where I am
