Lou Reed

On September 25, 1984, Lou Reed delivered an electrifying performance of 'Kill Your Sons' at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey. This concert came just after the release of his album 'The Blue Mask' in 1982 and preceded his 1989 release, 'New York.' By 1984, Reed was in a fascinating phase of his career, experimenting with new sounds while still embracing his raw rock roots. 'The Blue Mask' was significant, as it marked a return to form for Reed, showcasing his exceptional songwriting and a more polished production. It also featured guitarist Robert Quine, whose influence can be felt in Reed's live sound during this era. The performance captured the rebellious spirit of Reed's work and his continued exploration of personal themes, making it a memorable moment in his storied journey through music.
