[Jandek] damn you guys are harsh

[Cameron Allen]

Actually, I think Lou recently performed a version of MMM at a festival
in Europe... I remember his last interview in the Wire had him talking
seriously about MMM (and this was at the release of The Raven, too).

Here's something from a trader's page:

Comment
 The first ever live performance of Metal Machine Music. No, it’s not a
joke. German ensemble Zeitkratzer perform it, along with a bunch of
music from Lou Reed and Robert Wilson’s play POEtry. Lou sits in on
guitar towards the end. Good interview. Pretty good audience recording,
but I’d recommend the Venice recording (see below) if you’re not a
completist.
