oh shit I remember asking why didn't they ever play this song live, great to finally see and hear this!
Videos of the reunion tour aren't the best way to hear the VU, but man, they make you realize how essential and underrated both Sterling and Moe are!
Yeah, they really were the stars of those shows for me too!
They were the only two who weren’t bickering behind the scenes
-that says it all!
Lou Reeds had some weird guitar choices as the years went by, but they sure had a helluva good tone.
Yeah he was known for being a total gearhead!
Damn, Reed's guitar solo is very expiremental!
In Moe's words: "He was a noisy little guy!"
@@CAMFORRESTER Unfortunately, the director (Declan Lowney) had that ugly Eighties/Nineties tendency to cut away from solos to show anything but the soloist. It's not as bad here as the "Coney Island Baby" VHS of the live Capitol Theater show, where they cut away to the keyboard player for Robert Quine's entire solo on "White Light White Heat." But it's still frustrating.
@@CAMFORRESTER 🤣🤣🤣
This and 'Hey Mr Rain' were the highlights when I saw them. Lou got some stick at the time for the Klein guitar but I actually thought it sounded great.
Can't fault the sound at all but my god they were ugly things! 🤣
@@CAMFORRESTER Well i like Steinberger's too, so i've got no taste in that department 🤣
@@severinklein7901 It takes all sorts to make a world! 😉
Great stuff
This version is so boring compared to the original studio version. I loved how fucking abrasive the original guitar solos were, this is just fucking dad rock.
I understand what you mean...but at the same time in fairness, they were all middle aged by this point, so the sound was never going to be quite as speedy and chaotic as it was back in the day.
Unfathomably, John Cale claims they never played this song live back in the 60s...🤯
Maureen !!!
I’ve heard the bootlegs of the “accidental Reformation“ during the French Andy Warhol exhibition that was the impetus for this 90s reunion tour etc but did anyone ever video that?
I’d love to see footage…

@@CAMFORRESTER 🤯👍
@@CAMFORRESTER thanks SO much for that link. I’ve just watched it …there’s Sterling on a Korean Squire and of course, the “curse of Moe Tucker” in that she is behind a monitor!?🤣
I have a couple of questions possibly only you could answer:
What was that pedal that Lou picked up at the end off the stage?
Was it a RAT?
Was it a SansAmp?
Also, can you do some kind of tutorial about his soloing I really love his overdriven tone that gets sorta nice&fuzzy and endless like a kind of American Robert Fripp -is he playing the some obscure scale? (Is he playing any scales at all?!)
It does seem regular tuning though🤔
@@BeesWaxMinder Cut her some slack; she hadn't played that song in 20 years, and the performance was spontaneous. The monitor you can see is facing upward at Lou, I'm not sure whether she had her own one back there...and bearing in mind that she's playing electric drums - which without speakers make essentially no sound - if she didn't have a monitor, her hearing of the sound of the drums through the PA would have been delayed, especially since they were playing outside. I also thought it was very odd how her timing was so off in places - hence why I didn't include this footage in my documentary about her - but I think it's no accident that her 1993 reunion performance of Heroin was faultless, having had some rehearsals with her new Tama drum kit, and a tailored live sound setup put together for the band.
I'm not sure which pedal that is that Lou picks up, the picture isn't sharp enough...it could well be a RAT, or indeed a SansAmp.
Lou's soloing is usually spontaneous. He wasn't the kind of musician that thought about what scale he was in, he just knew which notes (or intervals) fed-back well in certain keys, and which did not.
His erratic style is often just him finding those notes; sliding up to them using glissandos, or just making atonal noise in-between. That's exactly what he does in the solo's on the original album recording of this song.
@@CAMFORRESTER whoa!
WHOA!!
I just pointed out that we couldn’t see much of Moe because of the monitor, that’s all… I’m her biggest fan
- there is no one better IMHO
Thanks for your points about Lou’s playing.
They’re very helpful.
(still love to know about the pedal for sure… It is a great tone.
Last time I saw him live, here in my hometown in Liverpool, he had exactly the same sound♥️
Great sound all round
from ALL of them. 👍
