Lou Reed Live Performance of 'Rock Minuet' at the Knitting Factory, NYC

Venue: The Knitting Factory Location: New York, New York, United States Date: March 31, 2000

In March 2000, Lou Reed delivered a captivating performance at The Knitting Factory in New York City, during his Ecstasy Tour. This live rendition of 'Rock Minuet' came shortly after the release of his album 'Ecstasy,' which debuted in the same year. 'Ecstasy' is notable for its deeply introspective lyrics and a mix of rock and avant-garde elements, showcasing Reed's signature style. Interestingly, this era marked a late-career resurgence for Reed, as he continued to explore themes of love and existentialism, resonating with both longtime fans and new listeners alike. With a talented lineup, including Mike Rathke and Fernando Saunders, the performance emphasizes Reed's enduring charisma and artistic evolution, proving that he remains an influential figure in the music world even well into his career.
