I am always amazed at what Andrew can conjure with a violin and a looper pedal. He's great with a full band but I never feel like his solo performances are lacking by comparison. Beautiful vocal work by Lucius as always. They covered _Waterloo Sunset_ and _Waterloo_ with Wilco about 10 years ago. I'll see if I can find it.
I may even like the solo show I saw him do after a documentary he did the score for more than any of the full band sets I've seen him do. Incredible to see & hear.
One of my favorite artists covering one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists, can't ask for much more, and yet the rendition is true to it's nature while still carrying it's own unique weight. Thanks for this 💜
Chills and hair stood on my arms! So amazing how Andrew works with so many gifted artists. Always compliments them as much as they do him. Thanks for sharing AB! Much love for this very inspirational modern twist of a jam!!
When I first heard the Velvet Underground perform this when I was listening to their record it really haunted me and I thought nothing could touch it. I was wrong this brings the chill factor up a million times and it's so hard to make beautiful and you can tear the dark undertones of the song and the pain that the person is going through it's beautiful
Stunning allusions to Masoch, but . . .of course. I love the tension built with strings while recalling with the lyrics strings and lashes, a "Love not given lightly"
I used to think the violin was a rather boring instrument, a bit too high-pitched and whiny for my taste. Then I discovered Andrew Bird and had to change my mind. This cover is amazing!
amazing...I never heard this song before Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp ...thought I would listen to other muscians do it....this is so different....you have to love the , what I will term Organic work of Andrew .
Menos estridente que con John Cale a la viola, esta versión es capaz de llegar más allá de la original y en el camino de vuelta darle un sentido de música de cámara que conecta más con los cuartetos de cuerda de Bartok y Shostakóvich que con la banalidad popera de sus contemporáneos
Interesting instrumentally and vocally decent. An old English ballad sound (like John Cale's studio demo from 1966). No connection to the spirit and the message of the album version.
Wonderful rendition of a Velvet Underground classic.
The way Andrew Bird plays the violin you can tell he just knows that instrument inside and out and can make any sound he wants
Andrew's violin and vocal performance is the best thing about this vid.
Such a creative mind. People like him will save the world, if there will be any world left to save...
We are the world, we are the children)
Absolutely , unbelievably excellent rendition , genius . Haunting , and an apt tribute to the legendary Velvets .
What a beautiful thing to wake up to . Andrew bird never disappoints .

They sing in the new single of the War On Drugs too! They are great.

Venus in fur slippers
I'd buy that shirt
mood kill slippers ... Andrew needs to be comfortable sure, but keep those out of frame next time!
My fav cover of this tribute album!
This is absolute art in its purest form! Thank you for sharing this amazing rendition with us! Everything, is perfect!

Well this is incredible
Andrew Bird covering VU is beyond insane. The Eisley sisters would boom killer vocals too, the oherworldly type. These girls are cool too though.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interesting beautiful haunting.

I didn't know I have such great neighbor .....
Pretty sure they had to throw away all of those chairs
Nice, but nothing beats the original
Hmm. 😶

Don't really like the melody to the song...
