What can be said? It’s Lou Reed. The former Velvet Underground frontman pays homage to his former mates with a performance of “Sweet Jane” that’s very easy on the ears.
Like any live album from a legend, you have to find the songs that sound better than usual. A good example is “The Kids.” This song comes complete with crying kids in the background. Both parts of “Caroline Says” are good, but the second part showcases Reed’s voice at its best.
The title track is met with hoots and hollers (the good kind) as the piano plays its way into the song. Shorter than most of the tracks, it is certainly not without its substance.
Pick your favorite track from the original “Berlin” and listen to it played here, 33 years later. This album is as advertised, and that’s a good thing.
