Lou Reed

In May 1979, Lou Reed performed at Park West in Chicago, showcasing tracks from his album 'The Bells,' released just a month prior. This album, which blended elements of rock with a more avant-garde style, marked a distinctive period in Reed's career where he embraced a more experimental sound. 'All Through the Night,' performed during this live show, is a reflective and melodic piece that resonates with Reed's knack for poignant lyricism. Interestingly, Reed's evolution during this time included a deeper exploration of themes related to love and existentialism, characteristic of his solo work post-Velvet Underground. The energy in this live performance captures the raw emotion of his artistry, offering fans not just a glimpse of his newer material but also the palpable connection he had with his audience.
