A wonderful live guitar exibition.
Lou Reed/Velvet Underground songs are here in that "Rock n´roll Animal" on a superb form. Especially, "Intro-Sweet Jane" sounds like never-viewed exibition by Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner. I can say that is one of the most incredible live guitar performance that leaves the song (and even Reed) in a second plane.
Let the sound fill your soul listening "Rock n´Roll Animal".

Lou Never Equaled This Here
One would never know looking at Reed now, who kind of has a regular guy image these days, is the same guy who was the glam rock junkie supreme in 1973 when he made one of the best live albums in rock, and probably the best of his career. The band rips through mostly velvet era material (complete with killer twin lead guitars) with reckless abandon...the velvet versions of these songs are Mickey Mouse compared to this here. The remastered sound of this disc was a real surprise, I did'nt remember it sounding this good...clear and powerful, standing favorable comparison to my early pressing RCA Lp. This is a must own disc for any fan of Real Rock and Roll...Lou's finest hour. Review by Chris Henrici

LOu Reed's Best!
Lou Reed's road to fame was through this album. The first and seventh cut have some of the best guitar and vocal combinations ever recorded.
If you want a guitar lick that can make you cry..listen to cut #7.....God bless this man!

my life was saved by rock n roll!
As a young teenager(12)I was first exposed to the intro to Sweet Jane every Friday night at 10:00 for the background music for "Dimension 16", which featured old B grade cheesy horror flicks. A few years later, a friend turned me on to the 8 track in his '74 Pinto. This newer version with two extra cuts is nice, but something is lacking. Whoever owns the masters should release a double live remaster of R n R Animal & Lou Reed Live w/all the extras for a 35th Anniversary reissue. I know everyone who digs this album will agree hands down. Live on Hunter & Wagner.
