    The Matrix was a great venue. Small, personal and with a phenomenal assortment of artists. I was there many times from 66-67. I never saw the Velvet Underground live, but they were unique and I enjoyed their albums for a long time. What a cool find!

    Honestly there is nothing better than Lou Reed, I got really into his music when I was a teenager, my music producer friend lent me his best of Lou reed and the velvet underground Cd, it became the soundtrack to many of high school parties, nights and all sorts of other things teenagers get up to, thank you Lou for being there with us, I wanna throw my friend some love while I'm here, try searching Lonely Gimmick - All Along the Watchtower, it's a great take on a classic standard and he's recorded it all himself on his laptop, i think he's got some serious talent and deserves more recognition

    the "ooooooo white light/white heat" is more haunting despite how upbeat it is. the 1969 live album (with the ass on the front cover) shoulda included this one instead of the other version (even tho i really love that one). I believe this version to be the quintessential white light/white heat version. fight me.

  • @AppleOno
    @AppleOno 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The playing on here is astounding. SO much better than the album version (which is also great, though not my favorite track on that record). So this version was without Cale then. The guitar playing is 1000x better here - for one thing you can actually hear them! They also added a very cool little change which is interesting & catchy. The speed they're playing at adds to the rush and they are so tight! Too had the band had to fall apart, they were amazing.

The way you can tell it's not Moe is when you start hearing all those busy drum rolls and shit. She kept it simple.
