About this album

Lou Reed Live captures Lou Reed in sharp, unsentimental form, turning a concert set into a concise statement of his solo identity. Issued in 1975, the album draws on key songs from his then-recent catalogue alongside Velvet Underground touchstones such as Vicious, Walk On the Wild Side and I'm Waiting for the Man, showing how Reed carried underground cool into the mainstream without softening its bite. Its lean live arrangement and dry, detached delivery underline the glam-rock edge that made Reed such a singular figure in 1970s rock. The record remains a useful snapshot of his stage persona at the height of his early solo fame.
