About American Poet

American Poet is an album of an early solo concert by Lou Reed, recorded live at the Calderone Concert Hall, Hempstead, New York, on Boxing Day 1972 during the Transformer tour. The backing band are the Tots. It features material from the Velvet Underground's first album, The Velvet Underground & Nico, and Reed's first two 1972 solo albums, debut Lou Reed and Transformer. The version of "Berlin" is from that debut album. American Poet was released in 2001. It had previously been released as a bootleg recording. The album's cover photo is by Mick Rock, from the same photo shoot that yielded the Transformer cover.
