Well you knew it was coming!

Did anyone manage to get a recording of it last night?

Along those lines, does anyone have "Alma Matters?"

That was a pretty decent cover...but it is sorely missing the backing vocals that Reed's has.

This is a great cover of a great song. I remember when U2 covered it as a b-side to One a million years ago and I was numbed by how sterile and meaningless they made the song sound.

But this...this is how you cover Lou Reed...with sincerity, and devoid of pretension, just like Reed himself.

U2 can do that to just about any song they choose.

Too true, too true.

This Lou cover would be an great B-side, or A-side

thanks for this.

Cheers, any day but Thursday.

 

[SparkleBoy]

Fantastic cover. Very faithful to the original, down to the final chorus (he chose Bowie's part, rather than Lou's to sing).

I liked it and it's one of my favourite songs. Sounded a bit strange being sung in an English accent though. Thanks for the upload.
