Through the Years-Live

0 - Default Title
Description
Lou Reed - once the Rock poet of the Velvet Underground, then a godfather of Punk, now a weathered icon of courage and adventurousness in American music - in two astonishing live concerts, one from New York's fabled Bottom Line in 1983, one from the 2004 Benicassim Festival in Spain. With selections deftly mixed and matched for maximum effect, these two concerts allow US to time-travel between key phases of an amazing career, as Reed reinvents classic songs from his Velvets and early solo period and presents adventurous new work - always with the unmistakable droning, dissonance, and literary intelligence that are part and parcel of the Lou Reed approach to Rock 'N' Roll, and to his adventures in post-classical minimalism and even free Jazz. 'Sweet Jane,' 'Why Do You Talk,' 'Jesus,' 'Women,' 'Walk on the Wild Side,' 'Romeo Had Juliette' - these and so many other great songs come to new life in these exciting, exploratory concerts from two decades of the mature period of the influential career of Lou Reed. 14 tracks. Immortal.
