Remember “Lou Reed’s Berlin” the Julian Schnabel-directed documentary about Reed’s first tour for his maligned 1973 album Berlin that was so roasted critically at the time that he never toured it until 2006? The so-so documentary wasn’t riveting, but you’ll recall our favorite moments were those where Reed played Velvet Underground songs and was joined by Antony Of Antony And The Johnsons. So below, a clip from the film Reed, band and Antony playing, “Caroline Says PT II” from Berlin – a record once so underrated, it’s now unfortunately been overrated. Such is life. Berlin: Live at St. Ann’s Warehouse, the album, out October 21 via Matador. [Sterogum/Matablog]
