DESCRIPTION:
Elliott Murphy & Olivier Durand in "Even Steven" from "It Takes A Worried Man" album.
Live in Nembro, Bergamo, Italy. December 1, 2013.
That night they've payed a special tribute to Lou Reed. A very soulful version of "Walk on the Wild Side". Elliott and Lou they were good friends from 1972. "Many of the songs on Aquashow were inspired by Lou Reed's writing he was my favorite rhythm guitarist".
Elliott Murphy also wrote the liner notes for the Velvet Underground's 1969 Live album.
"When the album came out Lou Reed seemed to be pleased with what I had written and asked Paul how to contact me.
Paul mistakenly gave him my mother's number in New York City and the next time I came to visit her she told me of a very nice phone call she had received from a polite young man Louis Reed. I called him back and we became friends and it was through his influence that I was signed to RCA records a few years later. Live 1969 has stayed in print all these years and I was pleased that my liner notes seem to have survived the journey from Vinyl to CD. And still, every year a few people ask me to sign that record. Of course, it wasn't my first record but it was the first record my name was on." Elliott Murphy.
