Lou loved David and you can see how often he looks at him with love and admiration.We're so lucky to have lived at this time and to have this terrific musical legacy. RIP David and Lou
Indeed! But we have to remember they know and worked together since at least, the 80's. Berlin shows it all. Lucky me watched Lou live by this time in Lisbon. Hurra! May they rest in peace now.
@Timothy Tew @Kathy Semrau ,,,Well...i love Lou, davie kate.and timmy ....tew ahahahahah ,,,,I had to laugh....This little thread that started with Eva is 7 years old ... and there are hundreds of little threads like this all over the span of 12 years since this was first posted..and its like a wheel that spins....around she goes....everyone sees...the love,..i sent it to a friend 3000 miles from me .....
***** Leon suffered so with many brain surgeries. Having gone peacefully in his sleep was a blessing. Leonard and Leon gave us much to appreciate. Like fine wine.
@@butterflyandme159 so when David Bowie sings about Berlin about his album The Next Day... he remembers his time with Lou Reed... I've been wondering about it for some time... must listen to the track again !
David Bowie has always helped all people like Lou Reed as well as Queen meaning Freddy Mercury and many others but stayed very humble, just check people
All dressed in Black too... unusual for him so it must have been especially for Lou who just wear black tight T-shirts & trousers. He also shows his real hight in this video not being very tall in fact and a bit skinny here too... Which year was this do you know ?
I remember the 1st Velvet album with the Warhol banana. I'm 73 now and alcohol/drug free for decades. This song still takes me back to those days. I play it about 3 or 4 times a year. It's great camera work and audio. I just wanted them to show more of the band.
You know you're the coolest rock star icon who ever did it, when the lead singer of the most influential indie rock album ever is in awe next to you on stage. Bowie is just too much.
I was mad at Bowie for years when he played a lackluster 20 minute set in Nashville then left no encore but he has grown back on me thru out the years. lol
I wish someone would look at me the way Lou Reed looks at David Bowie, because hot damn, he spends the whole song just staring him down compassionately.
+Jeff R. Seriously - Reed and VU invented that slinky, trashy New York rock that Bowie and others transformed into Glam. Love 'em both - they're pillars in the pantheon.
+why4duck Dude. Bowie helped Lou Reed write his great solo album "Transformer" . Bowie made songs and gave them away to people to help their careers. Iggy
This is almost too much of a tear jerker for me to watch these days. Just thinking that we'll never see this team up of talented musicians again...damn that makes me sad!
@@uninsulatedshrimp5518 Absolutely. I'm pretty sure Charlie would say "I thank you for your kind thoughts but please, no more "RIP" and "I'm crying" instead let's move on..î... Charlie lived a life that 99.99% to infinity can only dream about.
They're old respected friends and colleagues. In some ways there was similar song craft between them and it's just great how much they thought of each other. Both gone now but awesome to see them enjoy themselves together.
Holy Moly Lou and Bowie doing one of the greatest tunes every written ... Damn! This is what is great about the Internet ... I can go to sleep now ...after I play this one more time!
"Hey that version ain't bad!" - are you serious? how could you describe this as " ain't that bad" good god its fucking lou reed and bowie together singing one of the best songs to come out of the last 100 years and having fun doing it. "aint that bad"....jesus
Michael Lara Yeah, some very fine hombres but I'll go with,,'they're singing to each other.' It's a matter of respect. Equality among the masters. They've earned the right to look however they want and where ever they want. Always giving the listener just a little of the underrated in song,,,,while elevating themselves with each beat,,,,,,,,,,they never left us,,,,,they just, 'standin on the corner,' up the street,,,,waiting,,,,,
Two genius performers....so glad to have met Lou in NY at Max's Kansas City in the 80's. Very cool and was so humble and couldn't get over my southern accent!
Absolutely classic! If you were rockin in the early to mid 70s and not hip to this early progressive rock, you missed out! Keith Richard’s shows respect 3/2/24 ,speaks volumes for this great genre.
Lou Reed was a stoic character, reluctant to show positive emotions. Here though, he is looking his friend, his saviour in many ways, his mentor and looking at him singing his song with such gusto. And all the tough exterior emotions melt away.
@@omegajrz1269 I would disagree. Lou's artistic achievements were certainly an inspiration to Bowie but in their muscial collaborations, it was Bowie who took the lead. Lou Reed did not produce any David Bowie albums.
Greetings too Laurie Anderson and Iman both married with remaining Lou Reed and David Robert Jones ( David Bowie) and their children. Kind regards Saskia van Houtert (sausage) engineer/office-manager.
+Kevin Borland Awesome. I would have loved to have been there for that show. He had a few other guest stars. BTW. How long did Bowie play during that show? Just curious.
two of the best ever my brother and myself saw Lou years ago at the thebarton theater amazing thank God we did how unbelievable it wood have been being at this show watching these two legends together RIP BOTH OF YOU up stairs waiting for the MAN
Stumbled on to this vid tonite . . .sheesh, thank the big McGoo to have Ewetoob to time travel and experience brilliance such as this! Really, really miss both of these boys.
I saw Lou several times but the most memorable was at the Hammersmith Odeon - when he sang Heroin it sent a shiver right down your spine - it was just so powerful and emotional - a truly great superstar
wildcatter63 Of course he was ground breaking. Only fool would not give him a credit and not call him a legend. When Bowie was trying to be something in UK, The Velvet Underground was making a history in NY and Bowie was really trying to be a part of NY scene. Although Bowie later became sort of a mentor of Lou Reed in glam rock era, the influence was really both sided.
Bowie heard from Warhol that, he liked, this band Velvey Underground, with Lou Reed. Bowie was all about Warhols suggestion without ever hearing them, Bowie loved them and mixwed Lou Reeds first album. Match made in heaven.
murphy mcmadness Actually, not just mixed, but produced and also played some instruments on couple of tracks. And not first album, but the second - Transformer, which is most essential Lou Reed album.
***** Lol, radio play is your criterion? Vicious, Perfect Day, Walk on the Wild Side, Satellite of Love,... Are those not essential Lou Reed tracks? Transformer is widely considered to be his best album. If it's not, what is then?
I thought I'd seen everything and wasnt going to find different performances of David and here he and Lou Reed sing this song and I'm laughing. It's so good.xoxo
In all of recorded history, the human race has witnessed Lou Reed smile only four times.
This is one of those times: 2:05
Non, il n'arrête pas de le regarder en souriant du début à la fin, voire totale LOVE !!!❤️, 🤩🖤😍
such a kick-ass band
@tms6279 Hahaha that's so funny lol.
thank you for that, I needed it
He looks like he wants to bite Bowie's head off!
Lou loved David and you can see how often he looks at him with love and admiration.We're so lucky to have lived at this time and to have this terrific musical legacy. RIP David and Lou
i love Lou, but must mention he once physically attacked Bowie in a restaurant. Their friendship survived the fist fight.

A FANTASTIC version of a great song
RIP Lou Reed
RIP David Bowie
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bowie, how I miss you dude, ♥🙏Rip

Gail Ann Dorsey remains ;)
I'm PO'd they're both dead!
The way Lou Reed looks to Bowie, in admiration.
I will never stop missing Lou Reed. Ever.
Likewise.
Or Bowie
I love them both. They lived their lives as they did making great music, and being awesome.

if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is stu morris....
This has to be some kind of pinnacle in rock history.
truth
Lou Reed must love seeing Bowie sing his song.
Of course Lou does, they just went through Berlin tough times just check guy
Ya must have been a great feeling for him.
@@butterflyandme159 so when David Bowie sings about Berlin about his album The Next Day... he remembers his time with Lou Reed... I've been wondering about it for some time... must listen to the track again !
DR STRANGELOVE!
I was thinking the same thing.
I didn't know Lou could smile. Perfect!
Came out occasionally!!
Nor me! Never seen it before
lol First time Ive ever seem him freakin GRIN.
My sentiments exactly,.,,,,for the past week Ive been playing this and telling my friend ....watch lou ...watch bowie watch at lou
It was a perfect day .
i think bowie needed a friend, Lou was the man, Bowie looked so happy and stress free, just enjoying himself
lou was into downers bowie was into uppers
Lou kept eyeballin' Bowie waiting for him to fuck up his song. LOL :)
David Bowie has always helped all people like Lou Reed as well as Queen meaning Freddy Mercury and many others but stayed very humble, just check people
Yes they both look good and health there.
All dressed in Black too... unusual for him so it must have been especially for Lou who just wear black tight T-shirts & trousers. He also shows his real hight in this video not being very tall in fact and a bit skinny here too... Which year was this do you know ?
If Mr lou staired at me like that, i'd give him my car keys , house keys and credit card details
And definitely the anus!
he once knocked bowie out with one punch
Lol..those were the days
My Brother
And that was just his Sunday stare ;-)
if he "staired at you" what does staired mean? threw some stairs at you?
I’m a french girl so excuse me for my bad english. What beautifull "duo"! Thanks so much Mister Reed and Mister Bowie. I miss you too much.
Very good english, but usually we would say " I miss you SO much ".
@@johnsilva9139 Thanks you, I can learn exacty the good english ! Thanks you again very much.
Your comment le very relevant. Thanks so much
@@johnsilva9139 Well, here's a limey too, miss both of uou so much
Amazing song for a warm afternoon in 2023!!! Reed & Bowie playing together is a treat anytime. Thanks for this Gem! ✌️💗
Lou Reed can't take his eyes off Bowie during this amazing performance.
There is so much love here tween these 2 genius of men it made me cry....again. One of the greatest performabces in RocnRoll History. I miss David.
Love 🙂
Bowie is the most perfect human being ever. RIP. It’s a colder world without these two.
Agree totally,Bowie was perfect.
For sure
Colder world w/o Bowie at least! I met LR several times and he was always arrogant!
Had to watch several times today rocking and crying.
Wow.
At 0:51 the very lovely and talented Gail Ann Dorsey. She was Bowie's bass player in his later touring years. So good!
Bass very strong there alright, it's a top performance overall!!
Who was in this rock in’ band on lead guitar and the rest
Heavens yes!
@@peterfeges3250 reeves gabriel
She's playing a 5 string, that low D sounds wonderful. Unfortunately she was upstaged on the video by the two legends.
I remember the 1st Velvet album with the Warhol banana. I'm 73 now and alcohol/drug free for decades. This song still takes me back to those days. I play it about 3 or 4 times a year. It's great camera work and audio. I just wanted them to show more of the band.
You sound like my grand father. He’s why I’m here.
ok sonic Boom, I Believe in you
Get back on drugs Mon for laff 73 hangover story
I'm 42 and I'll keep on rocking forever too 🤘
Cool to hear Mr Boom. I'm 33yrs clean tomorrow!
Real legends. 2:05 is a unbelievable moment, first time I have seen Lou Reed smiling.
There're few Lou Reed intetviews with Laurie Anderson, they were together for 20 years when he die. He was quiet, charming and smilling all the time.
How is it possible that the stage didn't combust into flames from the heat of this performance?
GAWD your is a great post and a great question!!!
Woulda luved 2 see this
You know you're the coolest rock star icon who ever did it, when the lead singer of the most influential indie rock album ever is in awe next to you on stage. Bowie is just too much.
He's not in awe of him. They were mates for years in NY, had nasty arguments etc. Been through it all. No awe.
I was mad at Bowie for years when he played a lackluster 20 minute set in Nashville then left no encore but he has grown back on me thru out the years. lol
@@kevinindublin Agreed. Looked actually more like lust to me. A bit cringy, really, to stare that hard.
@@dixonpinfold2582Lust? Cringy? Really mate? Tf crawled up your arse?
I was at this show. It was like a dream come true.
How amazing!!
liar
I can't stop smiling. This is simply wonderful. Two legends loving life and loving their craft.
Bowie in rare macho mode.
The joy exhibited in the performance by both Lou and David is wonderful. What a great performance... and band.
I wish someone would look at me the way Lou Reed looks at David Bowie, because hot damn, he spends the whole song just staring him down compassionately.
+Seano299 He's thinking "how do I get just 1/2 the cool that is in that man". Noone should be allowed to have that much "cool" in one human.
+Ricky Rhoades Dude... Lou Reed is the absolute definition of cool. What are you talking about?
+Jeff R. Seriously - Reed and VU invented that slinky, trashy New York rock that Bowie and others transformed into Glam. Love 'em both - they're pillars in the pantheon.
+why4duck Dude. Bowie helped Lou Reed write his great solo album "Transformer" . Bowie made songs and gave them away to people to help their careers. Iggy
+nallly For Iggy Pop. his first great album.."Lust for Life' . Guess who wrote that song-it's not Iggy Pop. Try again...
Lou was so happy to be where he was he couldn't believe it himself and Dave was playing his song. Eternal.
Great to see how they adore each other!
So cool seeing two men that i dig so much! And its great that they were such good friends. Rip Lou and Rip David! Miss you
This is almost too much of a tear jerker for me to watch these days. Just thinking that we'll never see this team up of talented musicians again...damn that makes me sad!
I can't listen to Bowie with dry eyes, since he moved on to eternity.
Me to they were the best

I've heard some great Lou Reed versions of this and some great Bowie versions too, but this is so much greater than the sum of its parts.
AgReed
The arrangement is killer
This is a terrific version. I like to watch a great performance, and Bowie always delivered.
Could be important to day that it's a Lou Reed song, greater composer than Bowie
NOW THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE! RIP David and Lou.
David bowie always class and very well dressed two legendary performers oozing with talent
As a 100 percent Fan of both.... breathtaking
Amazing. Bowie was a genius can sing any song in any style. Lou Reed and the Underground were epic too.
It's a damn good thing legends never die.
Bowie has incredible stage presence
🎯
Two awesome rock 'n rollers! Man they just don't make music this good anymore.
You can see the love and respect Lou has for David this is a great performance
Holy Moly Lou and Bowie doing one of the greatest tunes every written ... Damn! This is what is great about the Internet ... I can go to sleep now ...after I play this one more time!
@Debbie. I get it. I have to watch it at least once a day. I'm obsessed.
Are. You still listening to it 10 yrs later ?
Yep, gotta move to this one. It's outrageously GOOD. These two are perfect together.
Great to see two close talented friends with so much musical talent jam together.
During Ziggy Stardust era Bowie always play this song live...and now with this performance the circle is complete. Simply perfect
RIP David, RIP Lou. Thanks for the songs.
One of the few people that can out-cool Lou Reed.

their chemistry was unparalleled
"Hey that version ain't bad!" - are you serious? how could you describe this as " ain't that bad" good god its fucking lou reed and bowie together singing one of the best songs to come out of the last 100 years and having fun doing it. "aint that bad"....jesus
Yeah I'm not so sure about that. I actually prefer the studio version the best. But to each their own...
I'm loving Reeves guitar in this one. Such a great sound to drive thru the background
Chill Winston
that ain't bad means it was really good! (if you are English anyway)
I have many versions done by many different people this is the BEST version of the song out there!
Bowie and Reed a huge part of my love for music
Impresiona, como se lo come con los ojos!!
Bowie, se deja querer ...
Sometimes brilliance is simply beyond comment.
I love how Lou looks at Bowie throughout...:(
+reddaj It started out with Bowie being in awe of Lou and ended up with Lou in awe of Bowie. Two greats but DB was the coolest.
nallly Really? One of them has to be cooler than the other? And the rhetorical question is always, 'How?'
They are keeping each other on their parts and loving it. Mano y mano hombres!
Michael Lara Yeah, some very fine hombres but I'll go with,,'they're singing to each other.' It's a matter of respect. Equality among the masters. They've earned the right to look however they want and where ever they want.
Always giving the listener just a little of the underrated in song,,,,while elevating themselves with each beat,,,,,,,,,,they never left us,,,,,they just, 'standin on the corner,' up the street,,,,waiting,,,,,
I actually saw Lou Reed smile !
Bowie's vocals always deliver.
Live in France now left Rotterdam,no man in Black in French countryside,love the wine love the song.
"Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time!"
One of the best Rick lines ever!
I absolutely love watching Lou and Bowie playing together! RIP and keep on rocking and having fun wherever you guys are! 🥰🥂🙏
2 old glam rockers - love them both!!
Thank you Lou for writing this wonderful song and giving everyone that’s ever fallen off the bandwagon, a little something called hope and acceptance.
Two genius performers....so glad to have met Lou in NY at Max's Kansas City in the 80's. Very cool and was so humble and couldn't get over my southern accent!
Shedding a few tears over this one.😢
while your shedding some guitars are shredding.
2 Gorgeous music Men, love their voices and Bowies hip wiggle w/ knees bent,,,Omg too much 😮💨
I will never stop missing David Bowie. Ever.
First time I've seen this set and I totally agree David looks like he's having the time of his amazing life , good on yer Mr Reed
each time a rock star leaves us a feel a tiny part of my soul leaves me 🎸💀🎛
Reed always managed to stay in really good shape! Bowie, of course, was eternally thin.
Have not heard this before both truly great ! Great song
Absolutely classic! If you were rockin in the early to mid 70s and not hip to this early progressive rock, you missed out!
Keith Richard’s shows respect 3/2/24 ,speaks volumes for this great genre.

Simply the greatest , RIP david and Lou
