Sweet Jane version with long guitar intro?
Grant W. Petty
There's a version of Sweet Jane that I've heard on the radio two or
three times that starts out
with a very long and intense intro (at least a couple of minutes)
involving lots of chord changes and an interesting guitar solo. My band
recently added Sweet Jane to our list of songs to cover, but nobody
knows about that extended intro. If we could get a recording of it,
we'd be set.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to catch the attribution for this
version. If I remember
correctly, it sounded like Lou Reed singing the verses, but when I
downloaded a copy of his version of the tune, it lacked the long intro.
There are also versions of Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground and the
Cowboy Junkies, again without the intro. I'm wondering whether this
might be a live version by Lou Reed and, if so, where I can find it.
I'm not that familiar with either LR any of the other groups mentioned
above, so pardon my ignorance!

Rock and Roll Animal, by Lou Reed.
guitarists in question are Dick Wagoner and Steve Hunter.
the short version you downloaded was more than likely the edited one
from "Best of Lou Reed".
Rock and Roll Animal is a seriously great rock album.

I vaguely remember a long intro to Sweet Jane on Lou Reeds Rock N Roll
Animal. I think its live. Have no idea if thats what you are talking
about.

It is. For me, the SCHWEEETEST of the Sweet Janes is from 1973 or so, Gateway
Regional High School, Woodbury Heights NJ. A band roving this country named
Mott The Hoople. Gaahh.

Recorded Live at Howard Stein's (not Stern's) Academy of Music N.Y.C.
This was the first album I listened to after getting the old turntable
dusted-off and hooked up properly to a pair of Paradigm speakers...never
sounded this good before! Just something about those vinyl clicks and pops
that take me back to a simpler time...but I digress.
Side A: Intro/Sweet Jane 7:55 (intro credited to Steve Hunter)
followed by a 13:11 version of "Heroin". That's Side A:
Side B: has three tunes! 10 minute version of "Rock and Roll" plus White
Light/White Heat and Lady Day.
Surprised (and glad) Lou has survived the decades after penning the
following some 25+ years ago:
"When the heroin begins to flow
then I really don't care anymore...."
Get this album (not CD) if you haven't already...it rocks!
Now, any Iggy Pop suggestions?

I thought the Denver concert crowd reaction was used in Frampton Comes
Alive (or was the Kiss Alive... I'm so confused).

Raw power is alright...but I still say that the intensity of the funhouse
album has yet to be matched by any album (iggy pop or otherwise). Tracks
like tv eye and dirt are just pure emotion. I'd say if you wanna hear the
best of iggy pick up funhouse and then raw power.
