Lou Reed: Live at Montreux 2000

"Iconic rock poet Lou Reed and his band -- Mike Rathke on guitar, Fernando Saunders on bass, and Tony ""Thunder"" Smith on drums -- deliver a powerful performance in this set recorded during their appearance at the 2000 Montreux Jazz Festival, which has now been released on DVD. Lou Reed: Live at Montreux 2000 has been transferred to disc in the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the images are sharp, clear, and well-detailed, with the video source offering a rich balance of colors and shadings. The punchy, well-engineered audio has been mastered in three formats -- PCM Stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS Stereo -- and the stereo tracks offer a tight, crunchy sound that matches this band's hard-rocking performance, while the 5.1 tracks offer a wider spread and a more measured attack. The songs are performed in English, with no subtitles included. No bonus materials are included on this disc, but given the strength of the performance and the recording, fans of Lou Reed's music won't need any additional incentive to pick this up."
