A bit after that, he broke into the opening chords of "Waiting For The Man," an old Velvet Un- derground song, which was incredible. Throughout, Reed displayed the con- stant innovation he has always shown when performing live. Each song, whether it was a Velvets-era classic that should have been easily recognizable or a new but familiar song, was played in a way that completely transformed it from the studio version. Reed's guitar wasn't at all subtle or haunting, as are some of the recorded versions from albums. Instead, he stuck to a classic-rock, hard-driving style for the whole show. He didn't slow the evening down with quiet songs or sad ones; and when he did play subtler tunes, the volume and whiplash sound of his guitar negated any gentle aspects of the music. Other highlights of the show included "Satellite of Love," "Sword of Damocles," from "Magic and Loss," and four songs from "Twilight." "Riptide" particularly excited the audience. It was a loud, rock- ing show The four tracks from "Twilight" were "Egg Cream," which as Reed explained •was featured in the movie "Blue in the Face," as well as "Hooky Wooky," "Trade- in," and "Riptide." "Blue in the Face," in which Reed had several humorous vi- gnettes where he portrayed himself and talked off-the-cuff about living in New York and about his glasses, deals with the culture unique to Brooklyn.

Music is a physi- cal experience for Reed, and he seems to lose himself in the joy and complexity of playing. The fact that he was able to do so in front of a full house is testimony to his fans' uniquely intense allegiance to him and liking for him, as Thursday night made for some of the worst driv- ing conditions of this winter in Con- necticut so far. The snowstorm could have affected AT&T turnout, but nobody wanted to miss the Your True Choice © 1996 AT&T show. Seeing Lou Reed play is the chance of a lifetime.
