Videos of the reunion tour aren't the best way to hear the VU, but man, they make you realize how essential and underrated both Sterling and Moe are!
Yeah, they really were the stars of those shows for me too!
They were the only two who weren’t bickering behind the scenes
-that says it all!
Damn, Reed's guitar solo is very expiremental!
In Moe's words: "He was a noisy little guy!"
@@CAMFORRESTER Unfortunately, the director (Declan Lowney) had that ugly Eighties/Nineties tendency to cut away from solos to show anything but the soloist. It's not as bad here as the "Coney Island Baby" VHS of the live Capitol Theater show, where they cut away to the keyboard player for Robert Quine's entire solo on "White Light White Heat." But it's still frustrating.
@@CAMFORRESTER 🤣🤣🤣
oh shit I remember asking why didn't they ever play this song live, great to finally see and hear this!
Yeah it seems many aren't aware of this version to be honest, so I thought I'd cut it from the film and upload it separately...Lou's vocal performance (as-per most of the show) was quite a let-down, but musically it's a really tight version. They were kicking-ass, especially considering they were all in their 50's at this point!
I can't unsee this now
Lou Reeds had some weird guitar choices as the years went by, but they sure had a helluva good tone.
Yeah he was known for being a total gearhead!
Maureen !!!
This and 'Hey Mr Rain' were the highlights when I saw them. Lou got some stick at the time for the Klein guitar but I actually thought it sounded great.
Can't fault the sound at all but my god they were ugly things! 🤣
@@CAMFORRESTER Well i like Steinberger's too, so i've got no taste in that department 🤣
@@severinklein7901 It takes all sorts to make a world! 😉
Great version. One of the few examples from this show that show Lou Reed really can kill it on lead guitar. Honestly such an underrated guitarist in my opinion
I might be different from everyone else but i actually think his vocals style on this gig isn’t bad. Just sounds like lou reed to me but lower
Another one of my favourite from this gig is white light/white heat. Just has so much energy compared to the recording of the original
I agree completely about his guitar playing (although his first solo goes on for too long and loses its inspiration, so I shortened it to the same length as the original for this video edit, keeping the best part only).
Personally I was really disappointed with Lou's vocal performance in general throughout most of this concert film. We all know he was not the most naturally gifted singer (as with Dylan, Jagger, Hendrix etc.), but his voice had a truly beautiful tone, with a very wide vibrato, and those moments in the recordings where he actually pulls-off the sound he was trying to achieve, always made up for the moments where he didn't - tenfold; Venus In Furs, Pale Blue Eyes, I'm Set Free, I Found A Reason...it's all absolute gold.
I really believe he tried to sing to the best of his ability during the VU years, and the earlier years of his solo career, despite his limited range. In his later career (including this reunion) however, his singing really entered bizarre territory.
I can appreciate that he was ageing, and circumstances in his life will have contributed to the natural wear and tear on his voice (smoking, struggles with addictions etc.), so it's understandable that he didn't sound the way he did in his young days...but at certain points, it almost seemed like he deliberately butchered his own songs with unnecessary attempts at vocal acrobatics and odd phrasing, and I just cannot understand why, when at other points he delivered so well - his MCMXCIII performance of Heroin was fantastic...whereas Venus In Furs, Beginning To See The Light and many others, were just...not.
Still, that's just my musical ears talking - regardless of my critique on specific performances of his, Lou Reed is still one of my ultimate musical heroes, and if I had been old enough in 1993 (I was only born in '92) I would have been at every single one of those shows, enjoying every second of that reunion while it lasted. I'm grateful that it happened at all, as without it, there would literally be no footage of the Velvet Underground performing a song from beginning to end.
@@CAMFORRESTER that’s fair, i think the later years he was more talking like he was doing beat poet (poetry with music) which i think he started doing that vocal style since his solo album New York (which funny enough features Moe Tucker on drums on a few tracks). I guess similar to Dylan during his post 60s years where he was basically talking (although does try his best to make it musically)
But who knows the answer, just Lou Reed being Lou Reed 😂🤷♂️
@@HarrisonProductions Absolutely. No matter how good or bad he felt like singing at any point...he's still an absolute legend, and one of the best songwriters of the 20th Century. And after all, his week beats my year!
@@CAMFORRESTER I'm literally decades older than you, but to see the way Lou and the VU have captivated you shows just how timeless and brilliant their work was. Kind of makes being that weird 16-year-old who liked the VU in the late '70s worth it!
@@kurtstephan7039 I was that kid in the 2000's 😉
I’ve heard the bootlegs of the “accidental Reformation“ during the French Andy Warhol exhibition that was the impetus for this 90s reunion tour etc but did anyone ever video that?
I’d love to see footage…

@@CAMFORRESTER 🤯👍
@@CAMFORRESTER thanks SO much for that link. I’ve just watched it …there’s Sterling on a Korean Squire and of course, the “curse of Moe Tucker” in that she is behind a monitor!?🤣
I have a couple of questions possibly only you could answer:
What was that pedal that Lou picked up at the end off the stage?
Was it a RAT?
Was it a SansAmp?
Also, can you do some kind of tutorial about his soloing I really love his overdriven tone that gets sorta nice&fuzzy and endless like a kind of American Robert Fripp -is he playing the some obscure scale? (Is he playing any scales at all?!)
It does seem regular tuning though🤔
@@BeesWaxMinder Cut her some slack; she hadn't played that song in 20 years, and the performance was spontaneous. The monitor you can see is facing upward at Lou, I'm not sure whether she had her own one back there...and bearing in mind that she's playing electric drums - which without speakers make essentially no sound - if she didn't have a monitor, her hearing of the sound of the drums through the PA would have been delayed, especially since they were playing outside. I also thought it was very odd how her timing was so off in places - hence why I didn't include this footage in my documentary about her - but I think it's no accident that her 1993 reunion performance of Heroin was faultless, having had some rehearsals with her new Tama drum kit, and a tailored live sound setup put together for the band.
I'm not sure which pedal that is that Lou picks up, the picture isn't sharp enough...it could well be a RAT, or indeed a SansAmp.
Lou's soloing is usually spontaneous. He wasn't the kind of musician that thought about what scale he was in, he just knew which notes (or intervals) fed-back well in certain keys, and which did not.
His erratic style is often just him finding those notes; sliding up to them using glissandos, or just making atonal noise in-between. That's exactly what he does in the solo's on the original album recording of this song.
@@CAMFORRESTER whoa!
WHOA!!
I just pointed out that we couldn’t see much of Moe because of the monitor, that’s all… I’m her biggest fan
- there is no one better IMHO
Thanks for your points about Lou’s playing.
They’re very helpful.
(still love to know about the pedal for sure… It is a great tone.
Last time I saw him live, here in my hometown in Liverpool, he had exactly the same sound♥️
Great sound all round
from ALL of them. 👍
Tbh Lou was a better guitarist than what is shown here. I feel like he really didn’t put as much effort into this reunion as did Sterling John and Moe
Indeed. The guitar playing in the original made you want to pull your eyes out...here it's just like "meh".
