I'd always thought what this song really needed was a Chinese guy doing Tai Chi. Glad to see that oversight finally resolved.
Hilarious, uv got me & the rest of the room here in stitches laughing. More memorable than the performance itself!
such a bs though. I liked your comment like 3 years ago. Don't worry
He's a lot more impressive that the goddamn vocalist in the room.
Wwho is the other singer in this song, the second voice? Please
I have been chuckling about your comment all day. Good one!!
The imperfections are what allow this song to become perfect.
Please tell me how.
"Soil that is dirty grows the countless things. Water that is too pure has no fish." Zen/Buddhist quote.
What imperfectins ? ? ?
It's sometimes more about commitment and emotion, not being entirely in tune or over emoting. A great recording
Everybody can learn to sing, but to express feelings this way it's a rare miracle
Bro he uses so many different tones and it's so weird and awkward
After all of the smack Lou's had, it's no wonder he can't sing, but boy can he get it across like no other.
Lou has always been very meat and potatoes, the man walks down the street, his voice fits that perfectly, no frills
Excuse me for my bad english but I’m a french girl. Perfect Day is the most beautifull song of the world. The man which does Thaï schi is the professor for Lou Reed because Lou Reed does Thaï schi. It’s an excellent idea. I miss you Mister Lou Reed.
È bello che anche un'anima tormentata come la sua abbia scoperto quest'arte antica 🙌
@@erikatamussin3358 Thanks you very much for your comment. I wish you a very good day.
There’s a touch of tragedy behind it you just know but it’s hidden
@jlouis4407 Thanks you very much for your comment .I wish you a PERFECT DAY.
@@sylvieledu And you as well!
That is not just a "backing singer"! That is the legend Anthony Hegarty of Anthony and the Johnsons, an incredible musician and a great friend of Lou's till the end.
the word legend is rather generous here.
@@leem7393 maybe but have a listen to their first album
@@leem7393 because of reeds free styling here.
Anohni ❤️❤️❤️
@@leem7393 O shut up. It's live you jackass
I really love this version. Lou's rough vocals sound great and are complimented nicely by Anthony.
Second vocalist?
no
I’ll never understand how such talent never took the world by storm. But, we who knew still appreciate quite how good they were.
He did for those who....hear
It's always a perfect day listening to Lou Reed's timeless music.
Perfect Day is my favourite song.
i sang this on karoake after my 40th birthday it suits my voice and temperament thankyou lou Reed, A perfect day is overlooked by the majority of us
It’s 2022 and I still come back to this version when I’m lonely or sad. It somehow gives me hope and helps me keep hanging on.
Antony is amazing as is the rest of the band
You know pal, you'll be alright. We all willl
While enrolled at Syracuse University, he studied under poet Delmore Schwartz, who he said was "the first great person I ever met", and they became friends. He credited Schwartz with showing him how "with the simplest language imaginable, and very short, you can accomplish the most astonishing heights." -- this is what made LOU an iconic figure.
I can only imagine how amazed and/or flabbergasted Anthony (now Anohi) must have been when he/she got the call to be the backing singer for Lou Reed on this show. Can you imagine how amazing that must be, to have one of the greats asking you to sing backup for them? I would be happy to do so!
Plus the contrast between Antony’s rather clean, soft vocals and Lou’s gravelly and speak singing works especially well here.
2:42 is the best part of this song.....
His nuts gotta be smashed after that maneuver
Totes agree
This still gives me chills and goosebumps all over my body. Rest in sweet peace Lou Reed
For Lou, a perfect day was to see how a dry leaf fell off the branch while dancing with the wind, that is the greatness of Lou.
I was in at one of his performances....
And I will be always glad that I did!!!!!!
Me too, saw him at Hammersmith odeon. Good venue
Such a unique and moving performance…am I the only one in tears ?
WOWZA !!!! AWESOME ANTHONY COMPLIMENTS !!!!! SO NICE !!!!!!!!!
As time goes by , I realize these lyrics are some of the best ever ❤️ Lou
Wish you all ".. just a perfect day". Thanks Lou
So gorgeous in any version.
Lou Reed, one of the greatest songwriters of all time with Anohni one of the greatest voices ever - what could be better
?
Such a sad day! RIP Lou!! Thank you for teaching me to walk on the wild side!
Phoenix. His songs had been reborn by now and being listened by alot. Share him. Share Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, and so on. World needs to know value in pop music. Your body may rest in peace, your spirit may live forever, Lou.
That just made me cry! Thank you LOU REED and REST IN PEACE!
I'm glad I spent many days hearing this song to make my day perfect
This may be the perfect version of the perfect song
Love the interpretation with Dance. Surprise split.
haha you need to travel more maybe
@@davidl6332 I know Nelson Slater! Traveling is all I know.
Thanks Lou. Your LP's got me through it all, only to emerge from the other side a wiser man. May you emerge on the other side just as fulfilled. RIP.
had a perfect day drinking with my mates in our two local pubs in Axbridge - peace and love man
Still listening in 2022 and always ace...
I loove this song and love this version.
There's something about Lou's vocal approach that's always appealed to me....something soothing and familiar about it.
You are tone deaf too?
Just a Perfect Song
Ancora una volta ammiro questo grande artista nella sua semplicità. Ed è questa la sua grandezza. Grandissimi anche gli altri. Lou Reed mi manca come uomo prima che come artista. Non penso che ne nascerà un altro simile. Sempre e x sempre nel mio cuore.
Its funny how most of my favorite singers can't sing.
To be fair, he recorded this song back in 1971. It's to be expected that he wouldn't be able to sing it in his old age.
+hightimesbruce Well. The recording sounds like he worked hard to make it sound that good :D
I love this comment! :)
same reason I like flaming lips etc
You want to hear singers listen to the voice.
absolutely, the same with me. dylan, reed, furman (new guy), even the girls: shirley manson, patti smith, well
i think in the end, its more about the lyrics and the composition
just beautiful..
Genio eterno ..☮️🎸🔥de Argentina 🇦🇷 2021
my favorite version
Never seen this before
delightful harmonies
it got my chin up
keep going everybody
How nice to see you so happy, Lou!
The best song of Lou Reed
Lmfao not even close
god bless you lou reed
Lou's voice was made for Antony's and vice versa. Thank you for posting this video!
¡Qué belleza de interpretación!
I love this performance.
Ah, what a perfect day to come across brother Lou. RIP LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Lou lives in his fans hearts for ever, the most singular artist in rock music. Doesn’t get better than Lou
Makes me cry... absence of my precious presence
This video is amazing. Made a great song epic.
Perfect
you do not live longer now, but you are born again on Sunday for the music ....
Anohni, Tai chi and Reed
Wow... what more can we ask for in our lives?
Your voice are always stay in my soul, R.I.P Lou
I do like that shivery voice guy.
Antony Hegarty, often referred to simply as Antony, is an English singer, composer, and visual artist, best known as the lead singer of the band Antony and the Johnsons
He should stop singing for the good of mankind.
What a beautiful song!
Fine magical art ` love love love Lou Reed , brill Anthony mazin '
Día perfecto... melodía idem. Maravilloso....
If I could bring only a handful of Artists he'd 100% be one of them. Freddie Mercury too! R.I.P
Guys, it`s irony! This is a person who is clearly an "imperfect guy" singing the lyrics wonderfully. Its great.
Lou Reed perfect day from his album Transformer produced by David Bowie love the song love the album
Mick ronson, bowies early 70's guitar legend, born in my home town Hull, was also responsible for the production of this album, he also played piano and did the string arrangement for this song. Sadly his contribution to this album, and also bowies early work is often overlooked, both lou reed and david bowie tilt their caps to Ronson crediting him as a great guitar player and all round musician, and also for being a top bloke all round.
+john gowans His guitar work on Bowies early albums is awesome. Bowie should have stuck with him throughout his career. If he was that great early on, it would seem he would only get better.
If i have to pick a musician for the rest of mu life, it would be Lou Reed!
He was just magnificent. Velvet Underground the most important band ever. Still sorrowing over his death
Most important band ever😂😂😂
@@RedGarnett-n2pand what's your musical background?
Almost always I had listening this song . In 🇧🇷 is the artist with singular work o n música then I spend my time with his ART and with the others, the same kind.
Dude, that's Antony Hegarty from Antony and the Johnsons, he's a legend.
The blonde guy could make me cry you can feel what it means to him
Thank you TH-cam for putting this on my recommendations.
@nameface6934 Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it.
Rimarrai sempre un eroe..
❤❤❤ Unico ❤❤❤
Love how different all the comments are. I love this, doubt Jools had much input into this version. Lou looks like he's having fun, as do the rest of them, so what's the problem?
Frustrated musicians whose bands never got signed
I cry ..... sorry Lou, this is B E A U T I FU L
Sounds like a perfect day to me
Beautiful...
My favourite lou reed track. Ist dance at my wedding in 1998. Good Times, despite the fact I tripped and fell over 😂😂😂 oh the shame 🫠
beautiful imperfection!
Love Reed,check the guy doing Tai Chi ....Lou Reed always a shocker,that was him,The weirder, different most outrageous that's where Lou Reed excells...miss you
Chris K.CT,USA
Still waiting for my perfect day, i'am 67 years old.
Shoot up some Heroin, you'll have a Perfect day. But if you have too many Perfect Days you will reap what you sow! lol Thats what the song is basicly about.
@@dredrotten hahahaha pretty much. I'm taking your advice right now.
It's there man. Waiting for you.
1:22 to 2:00 makes me extra happy/sad.
You just keep me hanging on ❤
lou taking a chill on the wildside "legend"
I love lou reed in eternum!!!!!!!
that's Antony Hegarty, from Anthony and the Johnsons! and there is nothing wrong with him, that's his singing style!
Master piece!!!
R.I.P. this MAESTRO!!!! Amazing!!
Hermoso tan lindo m gustan mucho tus canciones...👍💃😣😢
Ich sterbe wenn ich das höre, aber auch wenn ich es nicht höre.so deep the pain. Mir fehlt ne Seelenberührung
Beauty.
Great Lou Reed!

So sweet and tender and sad
Thanks Lou
It hurts just WATCHING that guy do the split!!
Another legend taken too soon R.I.P
ohh myy goddddd ♥♥♡♡♡♥♥♡♡♡♥♥♥♥
"The world has lost a fine songwriter and poet…I’ve lost my ‘school-yard buddy".
- John Cale on Lou Reed
John Cale sucks
stupendo...............
I wonder if he hit the occasional right note by accident?
Roy Robart lolz
With Lou Reed, the note he is singing is the right one. Whatever it is.
Lou played whatever happened. Producer nightmare
Roy Robart You are clearly not a fan of Lou
I guess we'll never know.
The blonde guy could make me cry.
Just a perfect day
drink sangria in a park
and then later
when it gets dark we go home
Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
and then later a movie, too
and then home
Oh it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spend it with you
oh such a perfect dayyou just keep me hangin on
you just keep me hangin on
just a perfect day
problems are left to know
Weekenders all night long
it's such fun
just a perfect day
you make me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
someone good
Exceptional ...
