I keep returning to an eleven-minute (sort of) jazz-funk reworking of “Sister Ray” from 1976. Lou Reed — with Marty Fogel on sax, Bruce Yaw on bass, and Michael Suchorsky on drums — played this version at the Capitol Theater in Passaic. One of few YouTube comments on this video is “strange arrangement but ok.” Reed rarely altered his vocal to fit the band but here, for once, he does. What goes on here isn’t exactly rap or funk or soul exactly and it also isn’t anything else Reed did.
