Lou Reed joined his old Velvet Underground buddy John Cale onstage at Mickey Ruskin’s Lower Manhattan Ocean Club for a few nights in July.

Besides the ever-sociable Lou, David Byrne of Talking Heads, Mick Ronson, Patti Smith, Lenny Kaye and Blue Oyster Cult’s Allen Lanier all showed up to lend John a hand, vocal chord, guitar or whatever.
