Lou Reed

In June 2008, Lou Reed performed 'Satellite of Love' at the Edinburgh Playhouse, showcasing his unique blend of rock and art pop during the 'Berlin' tour. This came on the heels of his 2007 album 'Hudson River Wind Meditations,' a shift towards more ambient and meditative soundscapes. Reed's music during this phase often drew from his earlier punk-inflected roots while exploring deeper emotional themes. Interestingly, 'Satellite of Love' originally appeared on his iconic album 'Transformer,' released back in 1972, emphasizing his enduring legacy and ability to connect past and present through his live performances. Fans flocked to this show not just for the nostalgia but for Reed's undeniable charisma and raw energy, making it a memorable night in Edinburgh.
