Tonight I saw this http://www.cinemathequeontario.ca/filmdetail.aspx?filmId=763&GrpId=0

Me, what a lame jam. Nico doesn't sing, only hits a tambourine with a
maraccas, sometimes out of beat, and then passes the maraccas to her
son, who now must be as old as me.

Maureen Tucker plays the same beat and looks tired, bored, uninspired
and uninterested.

Sterling Morrison sounds slightly more interesting than Lou Reed on
guitar. Only John Cale does something different on violin, bass, and
expander springs. At this point, Nico plays bass with
a ...screwdriver.

Sometimes I think if you're a lame player, then you claim you're
experimental, psychedelic, and krautrock.

I got the very last ticket of the show. A seat near me was not taken,
though.
