Lou Reed - Transformer & Live At Montreux 2000 (2014) BD50
---------------------------------------------------------------------

While the Velvet Underground never really attained much popular success, their impact on the music world was much more significant. By the time Lou Reed matriculated to his solo career, he was already something of a legend in the music business, and Reed actually managed to evade the oft mentioned "sophomore slump" with Transformer, his second outing as a solo artist which is notable for having been co-produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson. This interesting Classic Albums documentary includes contemporary (meaning circa 2001) interviews and performances by Lou combined with a lot of archival footage, along with occasionally frankly pretentious analyses by Rolling Stones' David Fricke. The second half of this double features captures Lou and the band in concert in Montreux in 2000 in support of the release of Ecstasy. This is a high energy show, with Lou sounding great. The band plays with a lot of vigor, and while the bulk of the concert concentrates on the (then) newest releases, there are some covers of previous material as well. Lou's set list includes.

Eagle Vision's SD Blu-ray range presents upscaled standard definition original material with uncompressed stereo and DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound for the best possible quality. This release combines the documentary 'Transformer' from the acclaimed Classic Albums series, which tells the story of the creation and recording of this legendary album, with 'Live At Montreux 2000', a live concert film of Lou Reed s performance at the world famous festival.
