Lou Reed loved Iceland
" He was really nice and the concert was totally awesome, " says Isleifur B. Torhallson and he saw Lou Reed’s concert in Laugardalshöll nine years ago. Lou Reed died today at 71 years of age.
Isleifur was Lou Reed assistant during his stay . " He was so happy in this country that he extended his stay . We drove around the country with him and I got Jonathan Gardarsson (a music guru) to be his companion . Lou was so pleased with Jonathan, he said : " Why can't there be a Jonathan in every country ? "
Ísleifur said he went to the Blue Lagoon every day but at first he thought that the spa was world famous bullsh. . " He went into the lagoon every day . I have no doubt that he seemed to be quite a bit younger when he left here. "
The concert was packed in Laugardalshöll.(Reykjavik) " We were prepared he’d not play his most popular songs . But in the Netherlands , he played them all . He also asked me after the concert if I was not really satisfied with his conert, because he was totally exhausted ! "
Reed stayed at the Hotel 101 and experienced Cultural night in the capital . " He watched the celebrations from the hotel balcony . Oli Palli (a radio dj)ended the program by playing "Perfect Day " and Reed watched 100 thousand Icelanders listen to his song from his hotel balcony . "
