Lou Reed, Brinsley Schwartz, Gnidrolog: King's Cross Cinema, London
Charles Shaar Murray, NME, 22 July 1972
THIS WAS one of the few gigs I can remember where all the acts deserved a full-length review to themselves. The teaming of Reed, Gnidrolog and B. Schwarz made for a beautiful evening of Grade A Rockanroll. Whether it was an inspired piece of producing or just a happy accident, it worked out just fine.
