Three songs from the latest album Street Hassle and three classics from his days with The Velvet Underground mean that it skimps on his solo back catalogue.
This album has a lot of talking and bantering with the crowd with less emphasis than normal on the songs. It means that some people love it but others hate it with passion.
It’s quite jazzy with plenty of sax from Marty Fogel and it also includes two female backing singers to flesh out the sound.
