 There's a Party Saturday night, ... Oct 21, 2008
and chances are you'll hear this album. Unless of course your host is a complete idiot and their idea of rock n roll is Hootie and the Blowfish. I laughed when I read the Lou Reed "fans" who said they didn't like this album. They whined that it was unlike his other stuff. Well, put it in perspective. This is a GREAT album - and it doesn't need the extra tracks. It's one of those one-off classics that just came from nowhere. Loved it then, love it now. You can't say that about any VU album.

Excellent sound quality Sep 22, 2008
I never had the album "back in the day", but I've heard most of the songs at one time or another. I thought the sound was very good. This is an excellent album and gives a good snapshot of Lou Reed back in his prime.

REED'S PEAK/Plain Jane May 16, 2008
Easily in the top 5 list of GREAT LIVE albums, not debatable.
Same class as Live at LEEDS(BEST EVER),HANK-Live, Live RUST!
This takes you back to the filthy days when men made rock and roll and did'nt wory about how to sell it. LOU has always been on the cutting edge. Needs to be played loud and often.
Lady Day/Heroin/Sweet Jane. You could try a hundred more times and never get an LP close to the original, just a classic thats all.
Maybe the Best Live Rock Album Ever May 12, 2008
This is one of my two favorite live rock albums (the other is Stand In the Fire by Warren Zevon). This is probably the best live rock album ever. The guitar work is amazing. The energy is explosive. This is what rock and roll should be. Two guitars, bass and drums and four guys playing their guts out (OK, there are keyboards too.)
This live version of Heroin, all by itself, should get Lou (as a solo artist) inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. My favorite live rock track of all time. It's a lesson in how to build up a rock song to a screaming crescendo.
Like everyone, my only beef with the record was: not enough, give us more! This release includes two additional tracks from the same concert: How Do You Think It Feels and Caroline Says I, which are also great and fit right in. The remastered sound is excellent. This release, unlike to old release on CD, has some nice liner notes. Enjoy.
