      Exactly! It was a Triumph!
      Their short Tour of Europe was a big success! They were received like conquering heroes over there.
      Which makes me think they were better off moving to Europe and would have had a longer and successful career if they had moved to London or Paris. Maybe even Frankfurt.
      The European audiences were incredibly devoted and appreciated them better that in the US. Here they couldn’t get arrested. There they were playing sold out shows and encores. A big difference!
      Well, at least they finally got a taste of what popular success would be like. Here I never heard any VU song on the radio except Sweet Jane solo Lou Reed.
      In Europe, they probably would have gotten some airplay even. This recording is great and now it’s rock history!

    • @written12
      @written12 3 года назад +11

      You’re right and probably because they didn’t try to sound like the records. The songs sounded familiar and fresh.
      But I’m not sure the total rephrasing of Lou’s singing of Venus in Furs. Loved every note of the band’s playing but Lou did too much speech-singing on Venus for my tastes.
      Oh, Television did some solid reunion gigs-- as did Rocket from the Tombs. Check out Rocket Redux if you cotton to David Thomas, Cheetah etc.

    I saw them in 1993 in Naples. Unfortunately, shamefully and outrageously, they were opening a U2 concert.
    After seeing them I went out before the start of the (supposed) "main" event.

      He was performing at the Alternative Nation Festival in Melbourne, Australia.
      I was there to see Primus, NIN, and Bodycount 🤣
      While wandering around I came across this dude with an electric guitar and his incredible songs - I was captivated and had no idea why, but it resonated and I've been listening to him and the band ever since.
      I got to see an absolutely uncompromising beautiful and legendary performer without even realising!

      I understand where you are coming from but in 1993 U2 were one of the biggest bands on the planet and they had a helluva lot of respect for Lou and the VU. If you watched U2's Live Aid set in '85 they featured Walk on the Wild Side & Satelite of Love - in truth, U2 were in awe of the VU's. Not sure there was any shame there - total admiration would be kinder.

    I saw them play Glastonbury festival on this tour. People kept moaning about how the songs didn't sound like the records. Every Velvets fan should know their golden rule, It's 'Never play the song the same twice'. Years later I got to work on Lou's 'Berlin' tour and as much as I have always loved his music I found him an extremely awkward person to work for. It's so sad that he and David are no longer with us. Listening to 'Transformer' where you can hear them both so clearly is very emotional. They are all missed.

      Ever meet someone who would never have been described as Mr. Warmth to start with add an artistic aesthetic that hates everything anyone did but themselves and maybe two mentors/influences(D. Schwartz and A. Warhol), now let them do a 96 hour run on meth till they had to slow down with some smack but they did so much smack they had to do more meth to be able to function, now imagine having to be around that person after they'd been living that sort of lifestyle for months on end, awkward in that way. At least that's what he was like when I knew him and that was only because I was friends with another early member of the band.

      If you want to hear the songs as they were recorded, put on the record. These people have grown older, married, had children and friends and families have died. These songs should not sound the same as they did nearly 40 years earlier.

    • @rexterrocks
      @rexterrocks 7 лет назад +35

      michael thompson That's exactly how it should be. They aren't like The Rolling Stones who have constantly been together for half a decade. The Stones have almost become like a karaoke band. I love them but everyone knows every song. I personally think the point of live music is to NOT hear a recreation of the record but to hear the band as they are. Which can change on any given day.

    This was their triumphant European tour that was sold out everywhere they played and VUs last Hurrah! And it was great to finally see Moe Tucker drumming live. I have always liked and admired her style. I didn’t know she drummed standing up! Cool!
    Looking back in hindsight, the Velvets would’ve been better off staying in Europe and touring there for most of their career. They were practically ignored in the US. No Radio AirPlay and only the critics cared about them but in Europe they had an audience and following that cared! Just listen to the crowds reactions after each song!
    I’m just glad this was captured for posterity because there is so little footage of the live VU.

    So much maturity in their sound, and that could already be felt starting their first demos in 65-66. Sterling’s playing can never be put on the side, especially in their studio stuff. The synergy between the players is also a very good one, you can feel how they complete each other and keep the fire on all throughout their concert. Something I’ve only felt that intense with The Doors only

    I must admit, I'm sorry that they didn't have Doug Yule on this reunion. It's not like I wanted him to do a number from Squeeze or anything, but his voice was a significant part of The Velvet Underground and Loaded, and I like the idea of him playing bass while Cale was on the viola.

      Mister Moonlight, not true at all. Yule was in fact a full member and collaborator on the 3rd and 4th albums, even if Reed chose to forget that later. (Reed had an unfortunate habit of forgetting to credit the other band members as co-writers, as both Cale and Morrison have confirmed.) Yule had to take over as bandleader to play live and promote Loaded after Reed left. Then he wrote and recorded the Squeeze album, which is nothing near the level of classic Reed/Cale work, but has its own charm. I think Yule has gotten a raw deal in music history, though I'll take the Cale lineup any day of the week.

Lou's vocal was a little worse for the wear and tear but it felt appropriate and honest. Missed Yule and Nico but it was still really good. Thank God they actually pulled this off and captured it for posterity. It's a rare and precious treat and was a gift to all of us who had the ears to hear what all this ruckus was about.

      and by the way "now" the VU never did these songs live twice the same way. They were constantly changing them up. And the versions of say Sweet Jane and Rocknroll on Loaded are nothing much like the versions they did live before the studio ones came out. Yet all were good and valid. He's the artist, you're not, he decides and John and Moe and Sterling decide, what can be changed and what can't and it all works because they're artists.
