This tribute concert was originally held at New York City's Radio City Music Hall in the days following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. It's amazing what a difference seven years makes, because many of the performers and presenters at this show would have been considered big names at the time, but have since fallen into obscurity.

Lou Reed — Berlin: Live At St. Ann's Warehouse

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) September 26, 2008 10:58 am
I'm a big fan of both The Velvet Underground and Lou Reed's solo work. But Berlin, Reed's third solo album, has never ranked among my favourites. The depressing lyrics loosely tell a story of a couple of addicts, and the instrumentation was more grandiose than what we'd previously heard from the man. Berlin was released in 1973 and finally...

Lou Reed's Berlin

in
By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) August 12, 2008 1:10 pm
When Lou Reed released the ambitious concept album Berlin in 1973, it was both a critical and commercial failure. In the wake of such disaster, Reed never performed the album live. Thirty-three years later, he was finally convinced to stage Berlin around the world, including five nights at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. Acclaimed...

11) LOU REED Metal Machine Music Lou Reed is one of modern rock's most admired singer/songwriters and his early music with The Velvet Undergound is lax enough to give someone whacked out of their mind a wonderful soundtrack. This double-album, however, comprised solely of grinding guitar feedback performed at different speeds, has got to...

Pumping: Lou Reed - NYC Man: The Collection

Submitted by The Stereo on Fri, 05/08/2009 - 2:42pm

By The Stereo (CHARTattack) May 8, 2009 2:42 pm
So why exactly does Lou Reed get to call himself the "NYC Man." There are lots of people that rank above him as being more definingly "New York," like Reggie Jackson, or Woody Allen, or The Naked Cowboy. Reed should just step off a bit and stick to what he does best — be miserable and write songs about drugs.

Although Lou Reed certainly raised some hell in his earlier days, it appears that he's taken a more tranquil approach to his music recently. Recent tours have seen him perform on stage with Master Ren Guang Yi doing a martial arts discipline called Tai Chi Chuan. Now, Reed will release Hudson River Wind Meditations on April Fools Day.

Lou Reed — Ecstasy

in
By Matt Mernagh (CHARTattack) April 11, 2000 9:27 am
This self indulgent divorce album from one of the best rock ‘n’ roll icons ever will make one cringe in disgust. Reed continues with the same guitar sound as his previous release, Set the Twilight Reeling, but instead of youthful vigour, we have an old man trying to figure out how his marriage failed. Just a thought: Cheating is bad. Granted,...
