Recorded in 1983 with Lou's most critically acclaimed band since the Velvet Underground.."Live In Italy" comes with a lot of hype and promise.The band is far from tight and not in very fine form at all here. Reed's voice is totally shot and he compounds the problem by seemingly insisting upon shouting and screaming his way through much of the material.Very raw and very hard to listen to..."Live In Italy", with all it's clamor, is almost the direct opposite of "Perfect Night In London"..meaning it's the weakest of Reed's live releases.For hardcore Reed fanatics only.
