I liked this one from the first time I saw it because I feel you can see Lou just starting to get into it more and smile and look around as the song goes on, because the band is just kicking it with him.
Lou Reed on the David Sanborn Show - 'Dirty Boulevard' - 1989
- Thread starter Lone_Poor_Boy
- Start date
Lou Reed with David Sanborn, Omar Hakim, Marcus Miller, and Robben Ford. One of these things is not like the others, one of these things doesn't belong.

Please... enlighten me.
And... you sure you got that lineup right, oh clever one?
Well, I left out Mike Rathke. What's with the attitude?
It's a great clip of a great song, thanks, although I miss Fred Maher and Rob Wasserman.

Looks like Robben is playing through a JC-120.

Again, enlighten me. I don't get it.

Also, what do you know about Mike Rathke? I can hardly find any info on him except... he was Lou's brother-in-law and played on the New York album?
Robben is playing one of his Fender sig models. It was called the Esprit (early 1980s), and they didn't make very many of the US version. IIRC, they did a run of MIJ or MIK too. Find one of either and you've got a killer guitar.

Yeah, and I think that Sanborn's playing his Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone.
Retail Value (approx): $6,000 (US) To keep his reeds humidified without over-soaking them, David soaks the reeds in water in a bell jar. First he soaks them for a couple of hours in the jar, and then empties out most of the water so that the reeds won't get wet, but will still stay humid. He finds this technique extremely valuable.
Very cool!
Just because they’re kinda dorky doesn’t mean they can’t hand out with Lou Reed.

One of his best songs, for sure.
Got a laff out of the censors completely missing the first reference to peepee, and then blanking out the second one.
I remember when this show was on TV. They always had great music played by great people--whether I liked the music or not--and it was all fantastic.

Actually I thought Lou was the odd man out there, backed by a band full of jazzers. It works though, and got some good national exposure for some important music.
I know nothing, except that he was in Lou's band in the late '80/early '90s. Lou seemed to like playing with him. Looking up Mike Rathke is complicated by the fact that there is also a Christian Music guitarist of the same name.
I think that's Mike Rathke's amp, since one can also be seen on stage in photos of Lou's live shows from that time. I think there's a Twin or some kind of Twin-shaped-object over by Ford.
Long time fan of Reed, VU too. He has always surrounded himself with exceptional musicians.
yup only one of them can actually write a song.
i can't listen to anything off that New York album without feeling the ghost of many 90's hangovers.
