This video is from a November 14, 2009 concert in Prague celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution (i.e., the 1989 non-violent overthrow of the authoritarian government in Czechoslovakia). Vaclav Havel was guest of honor. Seated next to Havel is former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
I can think of no better way to celebrate this momentous event than with Lou Reed's perfect song and Renee Fleming's perfect voice.
