About

A TAV Curator's Pick.

Perfect Night: Live in London is an acoustic live album recorded during the Meltdown '97 festival. It Includes a version of the Velvet Underground's "I'll Be Your Mirror", originally sung by Nico. This Record Store Day release is the first time this album will be available on vinyl. (Limited worldwide release of 7000.) – Press Release

“Reed delivers a stripped-down performance that most often brings out the best in his material. Beginning with "I'll Be Your Mirror," the first part of this 15-song set relies heavily on Reed's early work, most of which sounds terrific in its new setting. Shortened and freed of its melodramatic sound effects, "The Kids" is a better song, and "New Sensations" works better here than it did in its overproduced, '80s form…

Overall, Perfect Night: Live In London is an impressive collection—much better than the half-hearted concert walkthroughs most artists release to fulfill their contracts—as well as an essential document for Reed's fans.” – AV Club
