A Night With Lou Reed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Night With Lou Reed is a Lou Reed video. It is drawn from the same tour as the album Live In Italy which was released the following year.

A Night With Lou Reed is an intimate visual record of Reed's legendary sold out performance at The Bottom Line in New York City, 1983. For Reed, whose career began in Greenwich Village when he founded The Velvet Underground, this was a homecoming concert.

However, five numbers are missing: "Betrayed", "Sally Can't Dance", "Some Kinda Love/Sister Ray" and "Heroin". The video replaces them with "Don't Talk To Me About Work", "Women", "Turn Out The Light" and "New Age" from Legendary Hearts, The Blue Mask and The Velvet Underground's Loaded, respectively.

The 2000 DVD release is missing Reed's between-song repartie - for example his quoting of the "feeling lucky punk" speech from the 'Dirty Harry' movies, however the version broadcast on British TV in 1988 did include these.
