Lou Reed's excellent Rock and Roll Animal: two YouTube slideos



This is prime Lou Reed, and it needs to be played loud. On this live album, Lou took four excellent VU songs, and added some of his solo stuff from Berlin, along with a strong band, starring two guitarists--Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter. Honestly, I like this music more than I do the VU versions. This is an incendiary and loud guitar album that rocks in a way the Velvets never could, nor wanted to. . .
