The first album I bought was Lou Reed's New York...two years later I picked up Velvet Undergroun and Nico...my adolescence was never the same. The velvets accompany me until now... I'm 49. Greetings from Portugal.
That's very flattering - thank you. I try my best to do my heroes proud, but while I may emulate them, to me I still sound like myself! 😅 In any case, I'm glad you enjoy my interpretations!
I bought the first album when I was 14 - over 40 years old. I still listen to it often and love it. It changed my perception of the world. This cover is great - all your VU music is amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
This is random but in the footage of the Boston tea party, we finally get to see glimpses of their gear. Looks like Sterling had a cbs era big headstock black Strat with a gold pickguard!
Again, Velvet covers!! I am so happy I found this channel (Already subscribed). I am a big fan of VU and I have never seen anything like this (Both great covers and videos like the old ones from Factory era). Amazing, job, mate! Please do some John Cale Covers. I have one on my channel.
Yeah I did a little bit of it, but there were some syncing issues with the original bass part that I recorded live as I filmed the video scenes (as with the guitar parts in Sister Ray), so I had to re-record it from scratch, and couldn't remember exactly which fills I did where so just had to guess! Out of the three BTP videos it's my least favourite, but still a bit of fun!
I know I wish I had some better effects to create a more convincing strobe, but that was the best I could do with what I had! Tried to keep them on just to the beat on this one instead of more to the lyrics like in 'Sister Ray'!
i suppose it would have been tricky to bring a piano in for cale's part given the location you're in. still a very solid cover, you've done the velvets proud with you covers cam!
I could have done it, but Cale rarely used a piano live for this song (the only recording I'm aware of is the Valleydale Ballroom). I think because it's a more upbeat and danceable track, he opted to play bass to help drive the song live. On the gymnasium recording, I think John is playing bass and Nico is playing his organ!
You've turned it into a rhythm and blues number, well done for that, but it doesn't have the pulsating edginess of the original. That would have been the atmosphere to capture, not this. You don't dance to the Velvet.
This rendition was a bit disappointing... No piano, no bass solo at the end, not quite right vocal melody and intention... I liked your other versions better.
It's based on the live version, recorded at the Gymnasium in 1967, hence the difference vocal melody. Lou used to sing the song higher live, because the deeper vocals - as performed on the album cut - would not have been audible through the PA systems of that period, and certainly not from his point of view, as they had no monitors in those days! Also they didn't always have a piano live. th-cam.com/video/e0cQAHrTcpQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wsQkmw2DrW5-h1IF

Bodie loves this cover!!! He was boppin' and jivin' around the room. A wonderful tribute to Lou & the VU. Bodie gives Cam 10 thumbs up!!!
The most authentic Velvet interpretation yet. Cam, you have studied VU for years. You're the best LOU yet!

Great stuff Cam! Steve, a VU fan for 52 years and counting!
Please do a tour of these in the UK! These are so great!
@@MatthewGreenhough I'm working to make that happen - make sure you're subscribed for updates!
Fantastic! You've done it brilliantly, Cam! I KNOW!
Wow Cam I like your vocals more than Lou's . Good work , I was really impressed by your Mo breakdown.
Thank you!
Man John’s basslines are so great
I really like what you’re doing. Slight variations make it interesting.

Thank you sir. What you do for Velvet fans is much appreciated
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen
Enhorabuena Cam, lo has vuelto a conseguir!! Éste vídeo vuelve a erizarnos muy muy alto.....
Such a great cover as always!
Thank you for this splendid rendition
Fantastic cover, clearly made with a lot of love for the Velvets! Great work.
Ah! The noise! So beautiful! Now this is the Velvets sound!
Good job!

Hell yeah! Most excellent!
great cover
Would love to see this live, bloody brilliant as always Cam x
Brilliant as always. Thanks.
the 1st VU song I heard in the mid 70s on a Bowie bootleg - checked the original out and bought the album shortly afterwards - still got it
I really do like your work! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
brilliant!
More great work Cam, did miss hearing Cale's bass run at the end

Love this. May I humbly suggest less eye-unfriendly effects?

@@CAMFORRESTER was not aware of that about their live recordings, that's very neat!
Much! Much! Better that Beck's version.
