GIGS OFTHE YEAR
LOU REED: Hammersmith Apollo, London
Critically mauled on its original release, Berlin – Reed’s 1973 masterpiece of drug-addled despair, emotional and physical breakdown – was given brilliant new focus in this immaculately staged and performed show. Everything from Lou himself to the orchestral accompaniment, choir, back projections and astonishing sound mix made a classic album even better.
Total word count of piece: 1338
