husseochdoggen: The Bataclan is a "salle de spectacle" in the XIe arrondissement of Paris. It was built in 1864 by the architect Charles Duval. Its name refers to Ba-Ta-Clan, an operetta by Offenbach. That's from Wikipedia. There's a photo---pretty cool looking.

you're probably right. I don't know for sure when Lou was doing heroin. It's possible he flirted with it for awhile in the 60s, then let it drop, but not totally unlikely he was on and off til he finally really cleaned up. I know he was into pills (uppers/downers) in the 70s. Booze in the 80s. He doesn't seem to be speeding in this video...more like tuinal or reds if not heroin. Tho the lip licking (which I always saw as being his being really dissolute) could actually be from speed as you say.

Yes Lou Reed was on heorin for a long time.
David Bowie tried to get him out of this, even buying for him equipment so that Lou Reed could keep on singing.
Berlin is the TOP of Lou Reed, with Rock and roll animals of course.
After that, he had to make a break for several years and tried to come back.
I don't think he suceeded...
But I still love his heroin's musics, such as perfect day from Berlin.

RaelSugar97, "the music," meaning this particular performance of this song, is--to some degree--informed by and affected by whatever drugs Lou happened to be on. Lou's mood here is removed, reflective, detached, but not sloppy or hazy. The extraordinary sensuousness (:48-52) an amazing moment of this clip. To muse on his frame of mind at the time is completely valid, and to some, interesting. If not to you then "focus" on what you do find more interesting. Why try to control what I comment on?
limeDinger-- Why ... ( 3 weeks ago by RaelSugar97)
limeDinger-- Why comment at all if not inviting a response from others? There's a stark difference between controlling and questioning, disputing.
The integration of drugs into music was at times a spiritual output, but in Lou's case, heroin remains an addictive drug; a forboding remnant of his earlier (some say 'urban-life') years which carried through into his career. It's completely unfair to assume that Lou wished for drugs to interfere
with the meaning of the song, or its performance.
"the story" (lyrics ... ( 3 weeks ago by RaelSugar97)
"the story" (lyrics) along with tone, and whatever else would undoubtedly be Lou's answer if you asked him what was more important. Plus, pills (mainly speed) was used by most musicians at the time in order to keep up with the grind that is touring, albeit recreational.
Drugs amuse me. I find it interesting and amazing that he can even remember lyrics. ButI'm sick of the obtuse individuals as yourself who let such discrepencies cloud the music, something most musicians would frown upon.
