{"product_id":"lou-reed-perfect-night-live-in-london","title":"Perfect Night: Live in London","description":"Personnel: Lou Reed (vocals, guitar); Fernando Saunders (vocals, bass); Tony \"Thunder\" Smith (vocals, drums); Mike Rathke (guitar).\nRecorded live at the Meltdown Festival at Royal Festival Hall, London, England on July 3, 1997. Includes liner notes by Lou Reed.\nPersonnel: Lou Reed (vocals, guitar); Thunder Smith (vocals, drums); Fernando Saunders (vocals); Mike Rathke (guitar).\nAudio Mixer: Bill Fertig.\nRecording information: Meltdown Festival, (Royal Festival Hall), London, Engla (07\/03\/1997).\nPhotographers: Timothy Greenfield-Sanders; Ken Schles; Christopher Wray-McCann.\nYou might consider releasing a fourth live album to be a questionable career move, even for an artist of Lou Reed's stature. However, PERFECT NIGHT comes at an opportune time for Uncle Lou, following the triumph of latter-day Reed classics like NEW YORK and SET THE TWILIGHT REELING (both of which are represented here) and coinciding with a PBS documentary on Reed and the reissue of one of his finest '70s albums, BERLIN (acknowledged by a reading of \"The Kids\"). By the late '90s, Reed had settled comfortably into his iconic status, while still enjoying the effects of the artistic rejuvenation that began for him around the time of BLUE MASK and continued through the next decade-and-a-half.\nIn stark contrast to the glam-rock excesses of previous live recordings like ROCK \u0026amp; ROLL ANIMAL, PERFECT NIGHT is so spare that the quartet recordings almost sound like solo performances. The focus here is on Reed's lyrics, which are delivered with a rather uncharacteristic determination. This slice of live Lou is no cheesy repackaging of greatest hits, it's a valid addition to Reed's catalog.","brand":"Lou Reed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588979421417,"sku":"IBH7SF-1TT7-00","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/lou-reed-perfect-night-live-in-london_l03N9.jpg?v=1759076905","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/lou-reed-perfect-night-live-in-london","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
