Trevor Reznik

 This is an album that smoothly glides like oil, without lapses but also without particular jolts worthy of the best episodes of Lou live.

 A testimony of a live performance like any other, exceptional for the extraordinary quality of the artist and his band.

Lou Reed's Live In Italy captures two iconic 1983 concerts with a strong setlist featuring his best-known solo and Velvet Underground songs. The album is a smooth, high-quality live recording but lacks the standout moments and raw intensity of his earlier live releases. Recommended primarily for fans who appreciate Lou's consistent musical craftsmanship and celebrated band members like Robert Quine. An enjoyable but not groundbreaking live album in Reed's storied career. Discover Lou Reed's timeless live energy—listen to Live In Italy and experience a classic rock journey!
