Lou Reed

In June 2012, Lou Reed gave a stunning live performance of 'Sweet Jane' in Copenhagen, a song that's long been a hallmark of his work since its release on the Velvet Underground's 1970 album 'Loaded'. By this time in his career, Reed was embracing both nostalgia and innovation, having explored numerous styles from rock to avant-garde. Interestingly, this performance comes after his collaboration with Metallica on the album 'Lulu' in 2011, which challenged conventional musical boundaries and stirred both intrigue and controversy among fans. Reed’s ability to capture raw emotion while blending his legacy with fresh elements was evident in this vibrant rendition, reminding audiences of his profound impact on music history.
