Got mine. Thanks for the heads up.
Sooo…after years of fandom of both VU and much of his solo stuff this will be my first Lou Reed show. Is he touring a new release and are his sets release heavy or can I expect to hear a bunch of older stuff as well? Final question..does he do any velvets stuff?

He isn't touring a new release. His current big thing is he's touring his Berlin album in Europe with an orchestra and choir, sadly he isn't doing any of the Berlin shows in the United States.
I've never seen him live but from what I gathered be plays a fair mix of older and newer stuff. There should be a couple velvet songs, some 70s and 80s stuff, and a fair amount of post 1989 stuff.
This will be my first Lou Reed show too. I bought tickets for the Richmond show last week as the 9:30 club show had not been announced. Now I have to find someplace to sell my Richmond tickets. :confused:

I saw him years ago at the 930. He opened up with Sweet Jane and closed with Rock and Roll. Played a variety of solo stuff in between. Good gig. Those two songs were totally worth it though.

But if he had played ONLY those two songs would you have realized afterwards:
1.) That you had orgasmed in your trousers?
2.) Some people want to find The Creator and you just saw "The Creator of Alternative Music"?
3.) That you had just seen one of your top 10 concerts of all time?
I have some bad news for you people. You're all sheep.
Being led around by your belly-button/nose piercings.

Please some honesty, people. Please.
To all of those who got tickets to this show:
Do you REALLY like Lou Reed and his music or are you going to this concert because he's LOU REED?
Hey, when I was younger I told people I liked music, movies, books, etc not because I actually liked them but because everyone said I SHOULD. I really hated most of those things.
You know, like "'Kid A.' Words can't describe the genius of those dorks from Oxford."
But I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.
Brian
P.S. A few more questions:
1.) Lou Reed?!?!? LOU REED!?!?!? Do you also make your own soap and shave with a straight razor (women included?)
2.) Did any of you have some baby boomer "cool" uncle or English teacher that "turned you on" to VU? And if so, are you still on speaking terms or are they still allowed to teach?
3.) Wait a minute. This doesn't have anything to do with "Juno" does it?

Are you implying that "Kid A" is vastly overrated by a lot of people and pretty much sucks?
If so, I agree.
