On August 9th, 2009, Lou Reed took to Lollapalooza’s Budweiser Stage and worked a set that began with Velvet Underground’s legendary “Sweet Jane” and closed with his own fan-favorite “Walk on the Wild Side”. Thanks to the power of YouTube, fans already have no problem accessing live footage (check out both of the previously mentioned tracks below). But, this July, Reed will commemorate the 8-song performance with the worldwide release of a live DVD.

While no an exact release date is still forthcoming, the release will coincide with a new round of European dates. After playing Hop Farm Fest on July 2nd and headlining London’s Hammersmith Apollo on the 4th, Reed will continue the tour throughout France and Italy. The entire list of dates can be found below
