Description

It’s widely agreed among Lou Reed connoisseurs that his 1984 release Live in Italy is one of the best live albums of his recording career. Reed is backed by one of the finest bands he’s ever played with guitarist Robert Quine, bassist Fernando Saunders, and drummer Fred Maher. Featured are explosively cacophonic versions of such allegedly autobiographical tunes as “Kill Your Sons,” “Waves of Fear,” and “Rock N’ Roll,” as well as a must-hear 15-and-a-half-minute medley of “Some Kinda Love/Sister Ray,” and an amped-up version of “White Light/White Heat”.
