“To me, Lou stood out. The real deal! Something important to American music and to ALL MUSIC! I miss him and his dog.” - Keith Richards
In honor of Lou Reed’s birthday, Keith Richards has recorded a cover of “I’m Waiting for the Man.” The digital single & music video are out now and featured on the upcoming album The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed, which includes newly recorded covers from Keith Richards, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Rufus Wainwright, Lucinda Williams, Maxim Ludwig & Angel Olsen, Rickie Lee Jones, Mary Gauthier, Bobby Rush, Automatic, The Afghan Whigs, and Rosanne Cash. This special collection will be released by Light in the Attic Records and available on Vinyl & CD at fine independent record shops worldwide on Record Store Day (April 20th).
It goes without saying that the legendary Lou Reed was a true rock ’n’ roll pioneer. From The Velvet Underground’s debut in 1967 all the way through the end of his days, Reed sang truth from his heart. He lived life to the limit-and then some. The Power of the Heart is a tribute to Reed’s freedom of expression with covers spanning his groundbreaking years with the Velvets into his majestic solo career. Each track is a glorious extension of the Rock ’n’ Roll Animal’s soul, ever adventurous and avant-garde.

Im 52, Keith is 80 and I need him to out live me because I cant imagine a world without him
Don't worry, he will. Keith is immortal.
Don’t worry, he will. 😊
We have to consider what kind of world we’re leaving for Kieth and Willie Nelson
Ditto
well said
The most 'Keith Richards' song Lou ever wrote.
Cool it down is very Stones too!!
The Stones would be great in "Venus in Furs", too. I wish i cold hear a Beggar's Banquet version of that.
I'd have nominated Oh Sweet Nothin'.... I read a Mick interview once when he said the beginning of Stray Cat was inspired by the beginning of Heroin.
Lou was a exceptional solo artist, Keith was in an exceptional band, it's very different.
Except Keith's man traveled with him!😂
Nobody else alive today is more qualified to cover this Lou Reed classic than Keef...for all kinds of reasons. This was a pure joy to watch.
@@alanlake4614So true - juSt a bLueSy cover of an anti bLueS Song
why should you?@@alanlake4614
Covering Lou Reed, and this song, was genius. I agree a thousand percent.
I have tried to overlook Keith at times, no malice.... tried to overlook the Stones... I always liked the fringe, including Lou and VU. But Keith cannot and will not be overlooked. There's somethin' in him, and its gotta' come out.
Sorry about this, but what is the "real stuff" you speak of? what do you want, a cover version? Keith doing a Lou Reed song, in his own way, is an act of love, respect and honor. If you look at the video, Richards is playing two different guitars and a bass. We don't know the details of the recording but it does show he was serious about it. Lou Reed had a low opinion of the blues. Maybe, this is a cosmic joker's last word on the subject of the Blues. @@alanlake4614
I've pretty much given up on social media but I can't leave TH-cam alone because some days you find things like this. Absolutely fantastic.
100%. With you.
I agree.
Psst... I threw away TV in 2010 at 52yo.
It's up to you/ me/ all of us to seek the good Soc Media.
Yes. Cheers 👍
Me as well
72 years old and have been a keith Richards/Stones fan since they hit the airwaves, 80 years old and he's still dropping songs like this and sounding ever so good while reminding us why he was put on this Earth. Its raining and trying to snow here on this Friday morning and I hit on this and the sun burst through. What a great way to start the weekend & Happy birthday Lou Reed where ever you are, I still hear you occasionally and smile....😎
I'm right there with you! The Stones were the soundtrack to my life and I was just saying today, "when did I get old, I never noticed it" now I get automatic senior discounts without even asking, WHAT THE 😂
The "Sones" sound like an interesting band
@@antoinepetrov Supposed to be Stones, I missed the t when proofreading,
@@nednobody3253it didn’t deserve a reply
this is lou reed but i get what your trying to say 🙂
"Velvet Keef "is my man, and has been for 50 years. Lou, was too. I'm 64 and grew up ,looking up to these two. Rock on Keith.🎵🎸👄
Velvet Keef, nice!
👍🏼 🎸🚬💀
Best comment! Keith's voice is perfect
Keith always great❤❤👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊😊
I am 58 , Brazlian and I grew up in São Paulo with all these guys that I love them . My band is here :) th-cam.com/video/T3udsO1UMyk/w-d-xo.html
Ditto on that, my man !! Shouting at ya from '62 !!
I'm just a 16 year old girl, but I'm in love with this 80 year old man.
I'm a 66 year old man, and I think that you are so cool. You have great taste in music. 🎉
Many such cases. 16 year old girls have been falling in love w/Keef for about 60 years.
Be nice to your grannies... Do they like the STones? Share your loves of music with them, after asking them to share their music with you/ BTW did you know that genetically you are more like your grans than your ma and pa?
haha. you should try the original.........
17 yo girl here！
No one can cover a song from Lou Reed ,like Keith Richards, just stating facts🎉🎉
Perhaps Bowie did it better,don't you agree😉
I believe Keith did.
It comes no where near the original song, unfortunately. Wish Keith hadn't bothered, suspect he does himself in retrospect.
@@niallbourke7963Let’s hear your version and you can listen to us tear it apart. Stfu.
Same good habits.😅
Seeing Keith perform this Velvet Underground classic is watching him taking a victory lap over his addiction. He's been away from that life for decades and now he's telling the story about someone else even though he lived it for a long time. This is a triumph for him.
I think he still smokes the green.
@@noquarter9700 You can't spell healthcare without thc
KR is a walking miracle considering what he did; mick is not far behind!
@@Slo-ryde It was Mick that stopped Keith smoking at long last!
I'm ex Dublin junkie, recovered from 30 years active smack addiction. Hep B, Hep C, stage six crirrociss of Liver and HIV. Keith did OK, but look!
What kind of world are we gonna leave for Keith Richards?
Hahahaha! That made me laugh out loud!
😂 say that constantly 56.
Brilliant - now that is ed . He has filled worlds with sublime sounds
Keith is a legend,hope he could go to 100,lika à old blues man such as BBKing,John Lee Hooker,Etc❤
What an honor to saw him live ❤
I will be 85 in September and I feel like I could live forever. Time is slowing down and I live in the future. Here with Keith and many others.
🥰🙏
I have got some good news for you. You will live forever, and I bet that there's some great music in heaven. Very best wishes from Jake E.
@@user-vn1er5lz1d Thanks Jake E. It's a merry go round.
Light that fire bro. We're coming to party. Could take us awhile lol. But we'll be there!
69 Last februrary being 70 odd years does not scare me the music who are swifties the woman called like i could live forever that was her name beautiful ttiitts that swifty has some legs and a nice smell
By 2024 we've lost so many Rock Giants and look who's still standing Tall! Keef! Haha! God bless you brother!
You got that right 👍🏻😃!! Several decades ago many people said “Keith won’t make it to 30.” 😁
We need Keith, Mick, Paul, and Ringo to make a record. How about you guys put a 1000 likes on this comment?
Nice combo they would make……yes I agree
That would be something!!! Good call!!
Keyboards Booker T. Jones
Never gonna happen and in any case none of them can sing anymore, not that Keep or Ringo were much chop as singers.
I would love that big fan of the Beatles and the stones love keif.
Lou Reed would say: Keith, you’re just a gift to the people of this world ✌️greatest cover ever
I see what you did there!
You obviously never met Lou Reed 😊
@@samthunders3611 like you ever did
Great reference!
Sorry, Bowie's cover is superior by far. Also, Hate how he says "Waiting for MY man" Lie Reed's lyrics were just fine.
What can I say? I love it. The man, coolest dude in rock! He can perform Mary had a little lamb, and it would get two million likes.
Yup.
Same with Buddy Guy and Stevie...👍
Billy Angelino here just want to say,wow and thank you so much everyone for the likes on my comment. I get a lot of likes on every different video, be it music, sports, movies, whatever, basically because, if you knew me like a lot of people here in Winter Haven, Fl, you would know that I am always honest, sincere, trustworthy, don't bullshit or hurt anyone. Most of all, I see a lot of replies where people will down grade or really give a person a super hard time or out right nasty to someone else who had a different opinion about a video. Remember folks, that is exactly what it is, an opinion, and I respect everyone who comments, even if I don't agree, I will nicely say, I understand how you feel, but just my opinion, and we all are entitled to one, and mine is, then I give it. Great things I remember as a child, from a great teacher, my dad, who I lost last year, I move forward like he made me promise I would, but every morning I awake, I miss him more than the day before. Also folks, I am no preacher or someone special, or better than anyone else, but in this crazy world today, as well as since I was a child, I always try to talk to people in public, have nice conversations, listen, learn and laugh. Do you know how many times, after a day out, that on the drive home, I realized the smile on my face, ear to ear, just happy as hell because of good conversation and being nice to my fellow man. It's a great feeling for me because I see so many miserable people in public, from out right rude to just mean, and it's really sad, because life is great and wonderful and so much to do, places to go and see, people to meet, etc..., but in the blink of an eye, your world changes, some times, for the worse. The day my dad was diagnosed with stage four cancer, nothing could be done, October, before my fifty nineth birthday, doctor said, thank God if he sees Christmas. Guess what folks, he passed away at three am, the day before Christmas Eve. You can imagine what I think of one of my favorite times of the year, my entire life, why?, because of what a joy mom and dad made it for all of us kids, this year, the family had a great time, but I took my beloved little girls, my dogs, to Vero Beach and stayed for a few days, alone and didn't give Christmas a thought. Take care everyone and I love you all
Keith is an inspiration for all seniors that life doesn't have to end at 80 or even the 90's. I am 80, writing my best songs ever and putting those songs to work with Nashville publishers to pitch to major labels. The hardest part is getting the labels to admit to the quality of the new songs and giving them a chance. There is always room for a great song and then watch your audience grow.
Much respect to you Larry. Keep on keepin' on.
So TRUE, thank you
Very few people in music today could nail a Lou song like that… and still sound totally like themselves! Keith is just something else 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yup, just what I was thinking..You said it perfectly.
He actually did it better than LR, just the singing alone!
You are so so right
@@Slo-ryde disagree. it was meh, not terrible, but kind of lifeless.
@DrFelch Yeah, I got bored a few minutes in. I don't feel that desperation and futility in looking to score dope that you get from Lou Reed. It sounds really tame.
One of my favorite stories to tell is the night Keith handed me a joint when I was working at the Ritz in NYC... by then it was just a roach, wet with his spittle. I still smoked it!
😆
true? someone met amy w ihouse before she passed a wet with spittle roach is not a joint did you when you on the job at the ritz smoke you might have keith dna in your lungs
I’m
Wondering and I’m strongly feeling
This is the most rock n roll moment of 2024
Yes it is🎸👏
I totally agree!
Wow. The feel of this song totally suits Keith's singing and guitar style. This man is a legend!
Yep,absolutely stunning .
This cut conveys the feeling of how well Keith gets Lou Reed. It's a beautiful homage, tender, groovy, melancholic and hopeful.
Agree. The backing vocals may also seem reminiscent of those of Diamond, Vent and Wendroff on Coney Island Baby. It was hard to imagine a world without Lou and is even harder to think of it without Keith.
Only another addict can identify with an addict's suffering,past or present.
lou is dead keith does groovy homage
This is the epitome of someone who just has an inner vibe and frequency that comes out effortlessly when they do their thing.
❤
Truth 👍
My favourite Velvet Underground song since more than 50 years. And I think, only Keith is cool enough to make a wonderful cover version. This 80 years old guy is cooler than most of the 20 years old! This cover is outstanding!!!
Go figure - Lou is gone, but Keith remains - the dude abides! 🎵🎸❤
go figure
I love that he and Reed were friends. That would be a hell of a night!
I did not know that but that is cool. Lou Reed's music has been a favourite of mine since the 70's. Something I lose track of and then rediscover time and again.
They have certain things in common- and I'm not just referring to drugs. Lou was a tough dude- Keef is laid back and all, but he's still tough. I bet he still carries a knife.
If "a Hell of a night" means to be " stoned", "drunk", "crapped" and "vomitted" , well man, then you might be right!
Never meet your heroes.
@@Treverum They'd be taking H, so there wouldn't be any "crapping" being done for 4 or 5 days. But, yes, it would be a hell of a night if it involved all of that plus some hot groupies.
I still wanna be Keith Richards when i grow up
Me too, and I'm 76
I'm about five miles or so south of Keith Richards' house as I am posting this. I remember listening to The Stones' "12X5" album with my late older brother when I was 7 years old (1964). 28 years later, my brother was invited over to Keith Richards' house-along with his guitar. He once brought our Mom to a birthday party at Keith's house; which reminds me: Do you remember this line from "Mother's Little Helper"-'what a drag it is getting old'? She's now 89, and I'm 67. Hmm.
find jagger watts ets calll the band the rolled oats write a cuuple songs then sexdrugsrock and roll
Stop the madness, stop the war and listen to Keith Richards ☮️
Every day,all the Time ,!!!
No solution ! Remeber Altamont in 69, the Stones hired the Hells Angels and one man was killed! Rockbusiness is not a Paradise!
Great wish! I hope it became true ✌️
How the f can this 80 year old man be so cool! And have a singing voice that hasn’t changed in 60 years? LOVE HIM!
Because cool is timeless
Young people, age is a number. Cool is timeless.
Cara querido. Baita profissional. Pai de família.
@@marciap2961UR 👍 right about the ‘age’ remark - and I’m about 70. But, ‘talent’, not ‘cool’ has no age limit. Good music IS timeless regardless of anything else! It’s a shame that so many of the younger generation don’t appreciate, or even care to listen to, what MINE did. It’s their loss!
Lou is looking down and is SO HAPPY!!
I got goosebumps.
Keith is EVERYTHING.
Keith is very close to the sublime. This is something only junkies know because they dare to get that close to heaven.
@@RachaelTherien-pi6tx Keith was never a junkie. He bought it by kilo
Actually, Lou is covering Happy in Heaven.
lou is gone and cant look around anymore unfortunately, he passed away!
Happy because Keith sings it like "perfect day"? I doubt it
Oh my goodness. If anyone can relate it's KEITH. JUST AS GOOD AS LOU.
Soul man super soul boogie❤
How do you compare? Did you own an album?
Actually better than LR
In this cover it's like The best elements of Lou and the best elements of Bowie compounded in a jam session.
I prefer this to any versions of the song Lou did solo, the original VU version is probably better though.
Just when you think Keith Richards can't get any cooler... he goes and does this 😎😎😎
Right.!?! 💀💀💀❤❤❤
wow, Keith understands rock and roll cool better than anybody. The real deal indeed.
It hasn't been a secret .. Keef was born cool.
So exiting - i am 73 - he is 80 - 1965 After Beatles - The Stons was the beginning of my being - thankful - and so on in the centuries with Good Music
For me: The Beatles, Dave Clark 5, Herman's Hermits, The Zombies, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones (Keith was a friend of George Harrison).
We all remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. That was a true revelation for all us boomers. But after not too long The Stones appeared and all my 11-year-old self could think was NOW YOU'RE TALKING!
Status Quo and SpinalTap
Rest in Peace, Lou Reed ☮️ One of the greatest versions of the truest masterpiece ☮️
Excellent cover
I'm 76 and I'm hoping he outlives me. Lol he's been a part of my life for I can say years. Keep going Kieth 😊❤❤❤❤
Love Keith Richards! For someone who has million$ and million$, he sure don't act like it at all! He comes across as being someone who is really down to earth. God bless, Keith!
Still at it in his 8th decade, pretty awesome. I’m 79 and still like listening to him.👍👍🇨🇦
He's completed 8 decades and is in his 9th!
@@danharvitt5281,Sorry! I was never good at math.😬
Absolutely Fantastic, I miss Lou Reed. Can you imagine both of them singing this together,🤩🤩🤩🤩
They would be looking for the Man ,and more!!!
exactly, as from Lou!
I’m 72 been Loving Keith since 1964 this is amazing❤❤❤❤
No matter how old you are. Good music has no age and was made to be played. Bravo Keith and company!
This guy is 80 years old!

Goodness! 🙆🏾♂️
Grande profissional. Está longe do resto. Espero vida longa para essa pessoa diferenciada no seu ofício.
And I am 99% sure that's Steve Jordan on drums.
Long live the Keefer!
Richards, Jordan, Neville = funky, loose, dirty, ragged, all about the groove = unmatched, untouchable, the best.
Keith is better than fine wine.
Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
He was waiting for his man for so many years so this song suits him. 😊
Brought Tears of Memories! Rock 'n Roll Animal - Perfect tribute to Lou Lou! Thank you, Keith❤
Hello So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
Rock on Keith, you're a totally badass player who's aging like fine wine.
Lou Reed was wicked and Keith Richards knows it.
Lou Reed wrote this about the time that the Rolling Stones had their first hit. I really like this and it fits Keith like a glove.
Marc Maron brought me here! Always been a fan of Keith's bluesy gritty guitar. And Lou...miss you!!❤
Here he comes still dressed in black, he wears Nike shoes and a baseball-cap. He's never never early he's always late. The first thing you'll learn is that you always got to wait.
Waiting for the Man....
Only the wardrobe has changed.
Love the guy on the couch grooving to Keith's playing.
Love it❤
Astounding!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Pure gold !
Killing it❤❤❤❤
Amen to that! That's GORGEOUS! A Lou Reed classic with Keith's vocals AND guitars! Not to mention the rest of the crew! It really works!
A Very Original Homage to Lou Reed! Super!

Grinning ear to ear !
Did you know Lou?Ever been a junkie desperate to cop on a corner you totally shouldn't be on except for that one bad thing that you can't help yourself from needing? Nothing romantic in addiction.
@@kevind7422 I hear ya ... I am putting this on every day, sometimes several times. I don't hear anything else in my mind ... It's just this.
Awesome sound. Love it.
Such a groove
what a groove!!! Keith, we all love you!!! What a nice tune this is!
Lou would approve 🖤
