Transmission Impossible

Coney Island Baby came in January 1976, a rather more traditional rock record, and in October that year Rock & Roll Heart was Reeds first album for Arista, after label boss Clive Davis saved Lou from bankruptcy. It was shortly after the release of this well received work, his seventh solo effort, that he performed at Los Angeles Roxy Theatre where the entire show was broadcast by local FM Radio. Featuring four tracks from his Arista debut, along with classics from his past records, the show is as electric a performance as Lou ever gave. The backing from esteemed jazz trumpeter Don Cherry (father of Neneh) provided for a unique jazzy sound which was a new style for Reed.
