If you look at the ticket image I include in the feature, you'll printed right on the ticket - "No Songs No Vocals”<br /><br />Everyone in attendance already understood that it was to be only an ambient drone instrumental performace. That said, Lou DID turn to the mic at times, to 'scat sing' lines (or songtitles) from his most famous works.<br /><br />At the conclusion of the performance there was loud and appreciative applause.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-60519691911875300792013-11-20T08:19:17.940-08:002013-11-20T08:19:17.940-08:00I've heard most of his albums but never MMM.

I was wondering how the music was received by the audience in general - were they expecting the more usual fare & disappointed or did they greet it with enthusiasm?The Midnite Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018614143164534700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-74658709462714847912013-11-20T04:27:04.431-08:002013-11-20T04:27:04.431-08:00Cool review!

In terms of the music I've since grown up with and listened to, it can all be traced back to The Velvets. In death his genius will not be diminished - I think his legend will continue to grow. A man who really did define the counter-culture, in NYC and way beyond. People moan he could rude and abrasive, I suppose if you want polite and conformist you might be better sticking to One Direction, But Lou and the Velvets were avant-garde boundary pushing rock n roll !
