The "comeback" shows:

Bottom Line, New York 25 February 1983 (2 shows)
Bottom Line, New York 26 February 1983 (2 shows)
Bottom Line, New York 28 February 1983 (2 shows) (filmed and subsequently released by RCA Records on VHS/DVD as "A Night With Lou Reed")
Bottom Line, New York 01 March 1983 (2 shows)
Studio 54, New York 08 March 1983

Another outstanding version of "Kill Your Sons", a nice loose version of "Charlie's Girl" and the return of "A Gift".

This is a reasonable stereo recording - the vocals are a little bit low in the mix, but I think there's a nice "punchy" sound to it. The gaps between the songs were edited out before I got my copy of the tape (possibly so it would fit neatly onto a C90 cassette) so I'm not 100% certain that the songs are in the correct order. (eg "Wild Side" and "Waves Of Fear" are in reverse order here when compared to the recent Bottom Line show setlists).

Shortly after these shows in NY, "Legendary Hearts" was released and Lou travelled to London to promote it. Tracks 23 - 25 are from a BBC Radio 1 AM radio broadcast: Lou talks about love affairs and motorcycles.....
