Lou Reed

In 2009, Lou Reed took the stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago, offering a nostalgic nod to his days with The Velvet Underground through a stirring performance of 'I'm Waiting for the Man.' This live recording came shortly after his 2007 album, 'Hudson River Wind Meditations,' which was more meditative in nature and showcased Reed's venture into instrumental music. Interestingly, this performance marked a resurgence in Reed's visibility and highlighted his enduring legacy as a rock icon. By blending his solo work with classic Velvet Underground tunes, Reed not only celebrated his past but also connected deeply with a new generation of fans, proving that great music knows no age.
