Lou
Reed
Brooklyn 2006 [no
label, 1CD]
Live at
St. Ann's Warehouse, Brooklyn, December 14, 2006
This is what David
Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine wrote: "On December 14, 33 years after
the album's release, (Lou) Reed opened a sold-out four-night stand at
St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York, performing the whole of Berlin
live for the first time, with full orchestration... The story still thrills
as it repels: the way Reed, with a poet's ear and a reporter's eye and
no intruding moral comment, renders both artificial ecstasies (booze,
speed, reckless sex) and real-life horror (beatings, blood on the sheets).
"But the most astonishing
thing about hearing Berlin live was the greatest-hits glow of the songs.
The arrangements, which sounded muted and crowded on the album's original,
flimsy RCA pressing, bloomed in 3-D. The German beer-hall thump of Lady
Day became an elephant-march heartbeat with guitarist Steve Hunter, who
played on the album sessions, breaking out in fits of arena-rock shriek.
In Caroline Says I, Reed countered the flirty melody and gently buoyant
score with dry vocal cool. And when he got to Caroline Says II, Reed offset
the escalating violence and emotional collapse with a tenderness, in the
music and his singing, that made it a love song in all but the bruises."
And as reported in
the New York Times, "Mr Reed has gathered a starry group of friends to
help turn Berlin into a semitheatrical, multimedia performance. Julian
Schnabel has created sets and will be filming the show, and Mr Schnabel's
daughter, Lola, has shot film scenes with the French actress Emmanuelle
Seigner, which will be projected onto the stage. Bob Ezrin, who produced
the original album, will be doing musical direction with Hal Willner.
The indie darling Antony [of Antony & The Johnsons] will appear with
a children's choir and will also sing backup with Sharon Jones, queen
of the local retro-soul scene."
For those into trivial
pursuit, the show even incorporated the "lost minute" instrumental interlude
heard on the cassette and eight-track tapes!
Thanks to upload
for sharing the tracks. Also note that while this audience recording is
generally excellent, the volume is slightly low.
