Lou Reed / "Street Hassling" LIVE Groningen 1977

This predecessor to "Street Hassle" as we know it has a repetitive riff not unlike the strings of the album version, and Lou described Rachel as a character in both songs. It was printed in various journals and other poetry media under the titles "Street Hassling," "Miss Lawless," and "Street Hassleing" [sic]. It circulates on one bootleg with the title "Affirmative Action' but I've never seen this title used in any of Lou's documents.
