Lou Reed

In September 1973, during the live concert at the Falconer Salen in Copenhagen, Lou Reed had recently released his critically acclaimed album "Transformer" earlier that year, in November 1972. "Transformer" featured hit singles like "Walk on the Wild Side" and showcased Reed's shift towards a more accessible sound, blending glam rock and avant-garde elements. This transition marked a significant moment in his career, as it broadened his appeal beyond the underground scene associated with The Velvet Underground. The Copenhagen concert highlights Reed's exploration of these thematic and musical shifts, with live renditions of tracks from both "Transformer" and his earlier solo work. Notably, Reed's penchant for merging poetic lyrics with rock music was evident, establishing him as a significant figure in the glam rock movement of the early 1970s.
