Lou Reed

In the recording from April 24, 2000, at Philipshalle in Düsseldorf, Lou Reed delivers a captivating performance that reflects a unique phase in his career. Just prior to this show, Reed had released his album 'Ecstasy' in 2000, which showcased a raw and introspective side of his artistry. His setlist often featured tracks that resonated deeply with themes of relationships and personal angst, a hallmark throughout his varied discography. Interestingly, this concert came at a time when Reed was reconnecting with audiences in Europe, as he had spent much of the late '90s focusing on solo work and was gradually moving away from the public spotlight. Reed's edgy stage presence and the intimate setting of the venue create a vivid portrait of an artist who was both reflective and rebellious, breathing life into his iconic catalog.
