He just asked the kids to cry a little

I'm pretty sure I read, somewhere, Ezrin saying that ALL these stories are myths, and that he just ASKED his kids to pretend (you know . . . act) they were really upset, and to cry loud, etc. No other hypothesis about the crying on "The Kids" should be phrased as a definitive factual statement.

The music on the 8 track...

...is NOT a piano solo. I read this everywhere. I own it, and there are also clips of it around on the web. I'm not gonna change it because of the ridiculous "original research" freakazoids around here, but somebody might want to look into fixing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.104.195.40 (talk) 17:49, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Expanded article

I added a bunch of info, but I'm not sure I wrote it well. Should "orchestral arrangements" and "horns" be referred to separately, or are horns part of an orchestra? Also, the paragraph I wrote about how many songs are rewrites of older material looks clumsy to me. Editing encouraged. --63.25.27.249 18:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

It's certainly not the case that he didn't play Berlin live. The concert that features on Rock'n'Roll Animal/Lou Reed Live includes as many tracks from Berlin as from most of his other albums. When I saw him in the late '70's - the band included Trumpeter Don Cherry - he played the whole of side 2. Playing whole chunks of albums was unusual at the time, apart from Tommy.

I don't know if it's authoritative, but according to loureed.es/officialcd.htm, Berlin was remastered in 1989 and 1998, and the 2007 release was a reissue of the 1998 remaster. According to rollingstone.com/music/news/lou-reeds-final-look-back-inside-massive-new-box-set-w443676 and numerous other sources, Lou Reed himself remastered the album for the recent RCA & Arista Album Collection release.Rlauriston (talk) 19:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Jack Bruce?

Did Jack Bruce really play bass on this? I've never heard that before. The Secretary of Funk 18:44, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

He's listed on the album credits (assumung it's the same Jack Bruce, which I'm guessing it is). It's not mentioned on Bruce's page, though.Freshacconci 21:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
