Lou Reed: Live – Take No Prisoners (Arista Import)
Nick Kent, NME, 25 November 1978
AH, LOU, we meet again. How long it's been. Ah, of course, don't tell me – Rock 'n' Roll Heart, wasn't it? A right piece of piss that was too, as I recall, directly in the tradition of Sally Can't Dance, Coney Island Baby and Transformer.
Total word count of piece: 1201
