ジョン・ケイルがバンドを脱退した後の,69年アメリカ・ツアーの模様を収録したライヴ盤。長らく発売が見合わされたいわくつきの作品だ。いまでもルー・リードの重要なレパートリーが多いけれど,その歌にはやはり時代の息吹きを感じずにはいられない。
From Amazon.com
Originally a two-record set, this live recording has been split and released as separate albums, volume 1 and
volume 2. No matter, it's an essential document of one of the finest and most innovative rock bands of all time.
1969: Live catches the band at a juncture in their career, still reeling from the departure of John Cale and settling into the addition of multi-instrumentalist Doug Yule, who would help the band find their rocking heart. Thank god that Maureen Tucker was still around--her inspired, primal drumming makes this recording such a delight. Her quiet thumping on "Lisa Says" is understated and touching, and her timpanic, thunderous rolls on "New Age" are nothing short of awesome. Lou Reed is particularly loose and chatty, more comfortable with his voice as he stretches to hit some tender passages. And the version of "Rock and Roll" here is perhaps the finest of all it's many versions, epic in scope and focused in intensity.
