About
Taken from the same concert as <i>Rock 'n' Roll Animal</i>—Dec. 21, 1973, at New York’s Academy of Music—<i>Lou Reed Live</i> further fulfills Reed’s transformation from Velvet Underground undergrounder to ‘70s hard rock champion. The stars here are guitarists Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, who bring an arena-rock intensity to songs that sounded much humbler in their original settings. Only one Velvets tune appears this time: "I'm Waiting for the Man" retains its jittery impatience as keyboardist Ray Colcord sparks up an unforeseen funkiness. Three tunes from <i>Transformer</i> are expanded on, with "Walk on the Wild Side" sounding more spirited than sly and "Vicious" and "Satellite of Love" sounding livelier. The remaining two tracks stem from <i>Berlin</i>, an album that specialized in claustrophobic feelings. In the live setting, "Oh Jim" is epic: nearly 11 minutes showing why Reed is considered one of the all-time great rock 'n' rollers.
