@@NorthernMike ...... without the early Bowie version very few people would have acknowledged this song, I find it interesting that Keith Richards covers it now that both Lou Reed and David Bowie are no longer with us .
I remembah quite well. College dorm room, a couple good friends, spend the afternoon smoking reefer and listening to classic 70’ music like Lou. The good old days!
It's always the right time to listen to a classic Lou Reed tune. The live versions always have a pleasant twist from the studio recording. GO GO GO LOU. RIP
Ofc we member uncle Lou....most relatable song I ever had....thank you uncle Lou it's always easier to wait for him with you then when I'm all alone :)
Why no footage of the bass player in the video? It would have been great to see him grooving, even for a couple of seconds. His bass on this is uplifting and irresistible.
He missed a line the line is "hey wait boy what you doin uptown hey white boy you chasin our women around oh pardon me sir it's furthest from my mind I'm just lookin for a dear dear friend of mind"
@@alexandrelaurent7941 while more rocky the recorded version is so unsmooth that it feels like the drugs are there - especially the piano at the end. Just enough feedback to distort the sound just like drugs distort life.
I get confused about the correct title of this song, is it I'm Waiting for My Man or I'm Waiting for The Man, I'm just curious Regardless though, great song and great video, thanks for uploading RIP Lou, thanks for the music
See Lou shove a shot of energy into all the band at the start there? Cool. Pity we saw next to nothing of the guy on bass... he was cranking it out with style.
Lou Reed Waiting for My Man def. is about waiting for "the man" to show up with the drugs. I don't take it as an endorsement - he's simply referring to what goes on everyday... all around the world.

I love the differences in timing of the lyrics between practically every incarnation of this song.
I think that's true with whatever song lou Reed is singing haha
I think this is the best song about addiction ever written the description of waiting to score is so accurate
5 decades down the road and I’m still waiting for my man. Lou was unique and he may well be the man!
he was ahead of his time ,they nailed this song down to perfection
50 years and still a classic!
RIP Robert Quine, Wow.
One of the best to ever do it
Quine only one of him
This song is amazing in any version
A man's love for a controlled substance
Has anybody else ever smoke a fat joint while listening to Lou,? I highly recommend it!
haven’t tried yet but i think i might just have to now
You should try heroin and listening to uncle Lou ;)))
doing it as we speak
Many high times.
Fantastic recommendation.
"Feel sick and dirty more dead than alive" best line ever.
Look up the recent cover that Keith Richards did of this tune. Phenomenal!
yup!
Indeed very cool!, why did it takexKieth so long??!!!!
Yep it's good, but not as good as the David Bowie / Mick Ronson version from 1972.
@@davidmclachlan6592 I respectfully disagree

Uncle Lou is gonna work it out
seen em all but this guy was the best songwriter in the world back then, love john
shooting first and asking questions later on this tour. F*cking killing it
Yes, one of my fav. Lou Reed tunes. Perfect Day can't be beat.
I remember seeing Lou reed and Dr. John at a Halloween concert in Milwaukee..1972. It was surrealistic
Just saw B.J.Green get slammed in the neck by a Bull and thought of this song.
His band @ this Milwaukee gig was a monster !
RIP Robert Quine one of best ever..........
He's crushing here
Best ever saw this tour !
It's always the right time to listen to a classic Lou Reed tune. The live versions always have a pleasant twist from the studio recording. GO GO GO LOU. RIP
Lou Reed is the best.
this version sounds clean... i like it
He’s never early he’s always late- first thing you learn is that you always gotta wait….. (ain’t that the truth)
It's just a song.
And I love it.
It’s only rock and roll
Start me up
Pow i still listenning
I L❤️VE it 🔥🔥🎶🎶🔊🔊
Lou is the man!
LOU!!!!!!!
Great bass and drums, they lock in tight.
uff today 38 years ago this concert..
Pure rock n'roll with attitude and lyrics
I remembah it quite well from the mid 70’s
Lou looks good here. Strong and confident. He turned dross into gold. I'll always remember him and his music.
god this song is so good
Uncle Lou I still remember!
Great version of the song. Very funky. Love the cut with Hunter and Wagner best but this is very cool, LR is the bomb RIP
Like if Talking Heads did it.
Ofc we member uncle Lou....most relatable song I ever had....thank you uncle Lou it's always easier to wait for him with you then when I'm all alone :)
Lou reed is in top form
Yes
so good...RIP....everlasting
No matter what I love Lou
The day this guy went, NYC went with him.
"Give it to me, Quine!"
Love this man 🎼🖤
Fantastic band
without the drummer
They nailed it .supper good
ohhh the 80s version of this "old tune"...
Incontournable!!!
Finisco Hannuka come ho iniziato.. ascoltando i più malinconici artisti ebrei..Lou e LEONARD..che la terra vi sia lieve..shalom..

Rock and roll reed He could rock yeh
Uncle Lou will work it all out!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOU
fenomenale ........il poeta del Rock!!!!
He missed a line the line is "hey wait boy what you doin uptown hey white boy you chasin our women around oh pardon me sir it's furthest from my mind I'm just lookin for a dear dear friend of mind"
BLACK TAR HEROIN ORPHAN CRIPPLER he did indeed
black racisme
I remembah it very well
“First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait” Only those that know - can understand this lyric .
How true this lyric is!!
Never early.... Always late
Lol yeah some things never change
This feels so tame compared to the record
it's way more rock'n'roll though (in the old school sense, considering Lou essentially invented the punk sound)
I dont feel like so. It's generous. And it moves. Not stupidly. Bye stranger!

Of all the many versions of this, I think I like the bass the best on this one.
cool cool 😎
SUPER
I love the Strat mind, oh and yes I love the song, I don't know what the guitarist's called but he so cool
Tony Bambrough Robert Quine. Woefully buried in the mix here. RIP
I get confused about the correct title of this song, is it I'm Waiting for My Man or I'm Waiting for The Man,
I'm just curious
Regardless though, great song and great video, thanks for uploading
RIP Lou, thanks for the music
Miles Jolly It's listed a I'm waiting for the man on Velvet Underground with Nico, but the and my are usually interchanged.
Man...the old days...that was then but now it's today...
Yess mr
Lou Reed, NY cool. Too bad a lot of his work was overlooked.
It's not overlooked at all because we are rocking to it today on RUclips and it will never Die!!!!!
Oh ! The wait😬
Lou was the man!
There ain't nuthin' wrong with this version....
neighter whit the substance,if its pure
yeah, this is the "sweet" version
WHAT A LOOK LOU GIVES THE DRUMMER @0:48
To get the drummer to HIT the beat HARD. Damn.
Even though the chords and rhythm are simple, this is a deceptively difficult song to play and sing at the same time
LENNY FERRARI!!!
40yrs ago! Shit!
Much funkier than the record versions
Canzone splendida
GIVE IT TO ME TWIIEINE!!
I'm # 100 !
Give it to me, Quine !
ahaha epic!
HBD lou
Understood!
I’m always early…he’s always late…first thing you learn is you always gotta wait…
Endawrsment - New York accent is tremendous
👏🏽🌹👏🏽🌹👏🏽🌹👏🏽
Who is the killer lead guitar on that ? Love him.
I hear Fernando Sanders but sadly he did not get any credit or time on the video.
No songs is old for Lou & Andy Old acquaintances
Sweet Taste
Very funky uptempo rendition. Sounds more cocaine than heroin
what happened at 0:48 ? he looks back pretty pissed off. i think the drummers was too fast..
Yes!! Drummer is veeery bad
Drummer wasn't hitting the beat on time or hard enough. Look at Lou nodding his head with the LOOK trying to wake the drummer up.
Rocks last genius.
Jan Green Jack White,Chris cornel?
It was originally called "I'm waiting for my Nan".
Not the greatest version of the song but I love Luberts intro!
Lenny Ferrari!
Give it to me Quine!
See Lou shove a shot of energy into all the band at the start there? Cool.
Pity we saw next to nothing of the guy on bass... he was cranking it out with style.
I am sorry but I have construed this song as an endorsement of the substance in question.
Why not!😊
…but you can’t always used it!….the same with smoke!…and I do !
Lou Reed Waiting for My Man def. is about waiting for "the man" to show up with the drugs. I don't take it as an endorsement - he's simply referring to what goes on everyday... all around the world.
E Howard Hunt on lead guitar
Who is that guitar player.
One of a kind 😂
Great tune. Lou got away with murder with that very marginal voice.
Best
He misses a verse
Robert Fucking Quine!
