review by: date: 2008-02-13 rating:
Excellent companion set to "Rock 'n' Roll Animal".Somewhat maligned, at the time, like the "RNRA" predecessor. Both those albums were deemed to feature "hack heavy metal mutations of his greatest songs". That, i would contend, is a very unfair assessment of both. The treatments of those songs are, obviously, radically different. But they stand up very well, in their own right.
I reckon my original vinyl copy of this one is about played-to-death. So i was mightily relieved to get my hands on an "everlasting" cd version. Now i can blast out that fabulous live version of "Vicious", before leading into "Satellite Of Love". I'm a bit less keen on the live rendition of "Walk On The Wild Side", but the rest of the album doesn't disappoint. "I'm Waiting For The Man" is given a radical rework, whilst "Oh Jim" gets an extended treatment with twin guitar by Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner. The live version of "Sad Song" is a little closer to the one which originally appeared on "Berlin", and it brings the album to a satisfying close.
The purists will, undoubtedly, continue to criticise Lou Reed's warped vision on these two live albums. But they are HIS songs, after all, and he's free to interpret them as he wishes. My feeling is that no Lou Reed collection is complete without either of them.

nice one to complete the animal concertthis is the rest of the rocknroll animal concert, and the quality is really nice. lou's rendering of wild side and satellite is impressive, it catches a lot of attention when you are playing it loudly in public.
reasonable price, good stuff
