What a quirky and inimitable release. It is full of false starts and asides with the audience, making it seem more like a bootleg. Reed's voice is more a rap intrsument than a conveyor of song these days, but it still possesses a capacity for expressive intimacy and power. The song selection spans Reed's career. There is a string section, which mixes flawlessly with guitar synth, and all of which compliments the stripped down, accessible production. There are moments of real beauty here. Reed's mixes subtle images and the F-bomb in the sort of observational poetry that Reed has been crafting since day one. The best part of it is that it appears to all be from one concert, which makes it feel more real and solid, despite the occasional live gaffes, or flatter song choices. It is surprisingly moving, varied and deep. Everything you would hope for in an established voice of classic rock/punk pedigree. Fantastic stuff, get it!Read full review
Along with Perfect Night some good live Lou Reed, not essential although worthy of the investment
