Lou Reed Coney Island Baby Live in Jersey (1992)

Lou Reed was wise to chronicle a concert by his early80s band featuring lead guitarist Robert Quine and bassist Fernando Saunders Reed had used them on his trilogy of strong albums The Blue Mask Legendary Hearts and New Sensations released between 1982 and 1984 This 52minute video shot at the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ in 1984 is a straightforward nofrills live show Reed in black Tshirt and black leather pants stands onstage before a cityscape background and makes his way through a set that features both a selection of Velvet Underground songs and his sole hit single Walk on the Wild Side plus highlights from his three recent albums notably such songs as I Love You Suzanne As such the video makes a good Lou Reed career sampler
