Lou Reed

On May 3, 2010, Lou Reed performed at the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City, a fitting venue for an artist of his stature. This performance was part of the 'Scratch My Back' tour, which coincided with the release of his collaborative album with metal band Metallica, 'Lulu,' earlier that same year. Noteworthy is the album's adventurous mix of rock and avant-garde elements, illustrating Reed's fearless approach to music. Known for his influence on punk and alternative rock, Reed's blend of poetic lyrics and edgy sound has left a lasting impact. During this live recording of "Solsbury Hill," originally penned by Peter Gabriel, it’s fascinating to see how Reed interprets different artists' works, showcasing his eclectic tastes. His ability to reimagine and reinvent songs speaks to a creative spirit that resonates even in his later years.
