...material was for the greater part taken off his latest release, Sally Can't Dance, though he also included such standards as "I'm Waiting for the Man," "Heroin," and "Rock and Roll" from his days with The Velvet Underground. Reed's vocals, which were even more Dylanesque than usual, were accompanied by queenly dancing, spasmodic convulsions, and hesitant twirlings of the microphone. Highlighting his stage show was the random interjection of obscenities often followed by the violent felling of the microphone stand, which actually constituted one of the lighter sides of the concert. Whenever the mike stand came crashing...
...tempered one and contrasted strongly to the gritty, nerve-grating sound of the Velvets. But in retrospect, that type of coarseness would not make it today, if for no other reason than the size of concert halls. Let's face it--the Velvets were a hard-driving rock and roll band that relied on the intimacy of a club like Max's fully to project their image and encourage audience participation which usually expressed itself in dancing.

Personally, I have never seen Lou Reed in concert but a reliable source tells me his performance is one not to be missed; the source being, of course, Rock and Roll Animal, a highly polished effort of tunes (both from the days of the Velvets to the present) recorded at New York's Academy of Music. Taking into account the inclusion of songs from his latest release, Sall Can't Dance, into his repretoire, Rock and Roll Animal should be pretty indicative...
