Lou Reed

On November 5, 1977, Lou Reed performed live at the Apollo Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, Australia, just as he was riding the wave of his critically acclaimed album, "Rock 'n' Roll Heart." Released earlier that same year, this studio album marked a significant point in Reed's career as he embraced a more rock-oriented sound than his avant-garde beginnings with The Velvet Underground. The album features a raw energy that resonated with fans, mixing straightforward rock with introspective lyrics—a hallmark of Reed's style. Interestingly, during this period, Reed was known for his electrifying live performances and the loyal following he'd cultivated, many of whom were eager to hear tracks from this fresh album. "Rock 'n' Roll Heart" showcased not just his enduring relevance in the punk era but also his unique blend of poetic sensibility and rock 'n' roll bravado.
