The legendary Lou Reed recorded live on January 26, 1972 at Bataclan, Paris. 

This concert is particularly notable because it featured a rare re-union of Reed with John Cale and Nico, both of whom were his former bandmates from The Velvet Underground. Though it wasn't a full-fledged reunion, it was a remarkable moment for fans of the band, who never got to see the original line-up together again after 1968. 

Nico performed several of her own songs as well as Velvet Underground classics, adding to the unique nature of the performance. A treasure for Velvet Underground fans and anyone interested in the early solo careers of Lou Reed, John Cale, and Nico in this double vinyl.
