RCRD LBL's coverage of The Fader Fort in Austin: Thursday March 13th: Lou Reed Tribute Baby!

We caught the mysterious Thurston Moore, Pharrell, Moby & the dude who inspired it all, the infamous Lou Reed.....................Here's the night in a visual nutshell...........

After a lot of stage bouncing, falling over, and running through the crowd (what was he on?), Thurston Moore calmed down and picked up his replacement guitar.

Ironically he was going nuts while performing....."I'm Not a Young Man Anymore...."

Then Moby ditched the turntables and unleashed on guitar............

Lou entered..surprise...making music history....

Wild things ensued....

And I am pretty sure I saw tears in people's eyes.....

Lou exits.... to a standing ovation....a thousand clapping hands.....

And then.....

after wayyyy too long of a wait....

Pharrell enters with (need we say?) kick-ass attitude.

And the crowd goes wild.

No seriously- here's a shot of the most zealous fan. Right out of the prom scene in Pretty In Pink"...oh my.

Check out the demonic chick in the background. That's how hypnotic Pharrell was....

Electric Guitar solo anyone? killer riffing. (N.E.R.D.)

And Pharrell just warming up.

no fucking way. Pharrell on fire.

Keep your eyes open for more Austin Fader Fort updates. It's just going to get crazier....
