Live Extended Versions is a live album by Lou Reed.
It was recorded at Howard Stein’s Academy of Music, New York on December 21, 1973. It was originally released in March 1975 as Lou Reed Live. In 2003 it was reissued as Extended Versions without the addition of any extra songs.
The first part of this concert had been released previously as Rock’n’Roll Animal.
Frustratingly there isn’t a combined album putting the songs in the right order. This leaves this album seen as the second best leftovers album that concentrates on his solo carerr (mainly Transformer) rather than reinventing the Velvet Underground songs as hard rock.
