The quality of Lou Reed's solo work has been so inconsistent but when he get it right ...man does he hit it.
Honest emotion expressed in simple language through the medium of rock n roll - it's what Lou Reed has always been best at and this is a great example.
Oh and the band is TIGHT. Fernando Saunders - oh yeah!
i remember the ectasy shows in argentina.didn t play "big sky" for me the best song from that album.ecstasy is the last "real album" by lou.you name it the followers are not albums itself(raven,meditations)but experimentations. i love lou s albums.thank for the 2008 visit. mi top ten 1 the velvet underground & nico 2 berlin 3 the velvet underground(3 lp) 4 transformer 5 loaded 6 take no prisoners 7 ecstasy 8 white light white heat 9 new york 10 magic and loss
In this situation every head must bow and every tongue must confess...he is the greatest of all time.

That smirk at 4:18 reminds me of him during his days of glory in the Velvet Underground. That's one of my favourite songs by Lou.

Some people criticize it, but I personally love the way Lou Reed sings the same way on every song he's done since the VU.
