Critic Consensus
Based on 32 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Lou Reed is rated as a neither good nor bad live performer, with shows that lack distinction. Lou Reed concert reviews describe live shows and performances as avant-garde, elegant, compelling, and eclectic.
Those were Lou Reed’s opening lines at the RFH taken from Lulu his recent collaboration with Metallica and his most poorly received record since 1975’s Metal Machine Music.
Whatever that means the assembled audience is certainly diverse testament to the weird allure of Metal Machine Music either as an act of impressively monumental petulance or a compelling and even oddly pretty work of art in its own right.
