Lou reed sweet jane american poet version


American Poet is an album of an early solo concert by Lou Reed, recorded live at the Hempstead Theatre, New York, on Boxing Day 1972 during the Transformer tour. The backing band are the Tots. It features material from that album, the Velvet Underground, and his 1972 solo debut Lou Reed. The version of "Berlin" is from that debut album. American Poet was released in 2001. It had previously been released as a bootleg recording.

The album's cover photo is by Mick Rock, evidently from the same shoot that yielded the Transformer cover.
