Our Take

Lou Reed's "Bottom Line 1977" is like a fine wine - it only gets better with age. Known for his raw, unapologetic lyrics and distinctive voice, Reed delivers an electrifying performance on this live album that captures the essence of punk rock in all its glory.

From the moment Reed steps onto the stage, you can feel the energy pulsating through the crowd. His raspy vocals cut through the air like a knife, while his band mates provide a solid backing that never misses a beat. The setlist is a mix of classics like "Sweet Jane" and "Walk on the Wild Side", as well as deeper cuts that showcase Reed's storytelling prowess.

What sets this album apart is the intimacy of the venue. The Bottom Line may not have been the biggest or flashiest venue, but it provided the perfect backdrop for Reed's gritty, no-frills sound. The audience is right there with him, hanging on his every word and note.

Overall, "Bottom Line 1977" is a must-listen for any Lou Reed fan or punk rock enthusiast. It's a timeless snapshot of a legendary artist at the height of his powers, delivering a performance that is as raw and real as it gets. So grab a drink, turn up the volume, and let Lou Reed take you on a journey through the underbelly of New York City. You won't regret it.
