LOU REED/JOHN CALE/NICO - Bataclan (2LP)

Category: KEYHOLE LPs

• Lou Reed, John Cale & Nico
• Legendary 1972 reunion
• First 180g vinyl release
• Detailed background notes
• Two bonus tracks


To the surprise and delight of their growing fanbase, in early 1972 rumours began to circulate that Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico would be performing together again.

In fact they only played one show, at the small Bataclan club in Paris on January 29th. Thankfully, however, a soundboard recording was made, preserving the superb concert for posterity. On it, the trio perform a cross-section of Velvet Underground and solo material in acoustic settings, offering a unique opportunity to hear familiar songs by three of rock's most enduring cult artists in a fresh style.

It makes its long-awaited return to CD here, together with background notes and two rare tracks culled from a rehearsal held in London shortly before the gig.

A no-brainer for all dimension of VU, John Cale, Lou Reed, and/or Nico enthusiasts - allmusic.com
