all right pop pickers? sweet jane fact of the day...
lou reed’s live album rock n roll animal (1974) had some of its crowd noise dubbed in after one of the audience tracks was lost during recording.
producer steve katz later confirmed that engineer gus mossler sourced replacement applause from a john denver concert in rca’s archives. katz approved the substitution and never told reed where the applause came from.
they deliberately boosted the crowd noise during the introduction to "sweet jane" to make reed’s entrance sound even more spectacular.
the crowd "noise" just kicks in around 3.29 lolf User Posted Link
