Remembering Lou Reed

watch Patti Smith, Craig Finn, David Johansen, Feelies' Glen Mercer & more play Lou Reed tribute in NYC

The only announced performers were fellow NYC legend Patti Smith (and her bandmates Tony Shanahan and Lenny Kaye) and Suzanne Vega, but the concert also ended up boasting appearances from The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn, New York Dolls’ David Johansen, The Feelies’ Glen Mercer, and Marshall Crenshaw.
