Lou Reed 25 April 05
Section: article
Categories: Concert
This fine concert was in Frankfurt’s sophisticated Alte Oper (Old Opera), which had been gutted in the war and was finally rebuilt in the 80s. The remarkable acoustics are like crystal and bells crashing and they conveyed all of his sharp, intelligent rocking.
Reed played some pieces from The Raven, including Guardian Angel, and Vanishing Act.
From Songs for Drella he performed Slip Away.
As an encore he did: Perfect Day.
