Lou Reed was always pushing it while still more than happy to mine the past. I don't think that he ever thought that a song was ever totally done. Sometimes he'd get close to murdering his own compositions but isn't that where the true magic lives? Taking it to and beyond the limit is the opposite of bland.

Yea he never wanted to do the same thing more than a few times. Even going as far as throwing out what made a song great on the record for a live performance. he was like a jazz player in that respect. sometimes he would strike gold and make it sound better than the record.

Well I mean this is the only song by them worth a damn. This, Norwegian Wood, Day in the Life, While my Guitar Weeps, I am the Walrus are pretty good songs by them. I'm not a huge fan, matter of fact I think Beatles suck, but those are some good songs by them.

luv that dirty muddy-boot sound!

Dude, it is so worth listening to the end. What a great sound they had. I love them.

RIP LOUUUUUUUU

Beatles, the band loved by millions, themselves inspired by 100 bands...The Velvet, a band not popular but somehow inspired 10,000 bands to come. They are two different stories an cannot compare as such.

the beatles and the velvet underground weren't as far away lyric wise as many think, in 1966 the beatle recorded revolver while the velvet underground was recording "The Velvet Underground and Nico" and they hold a lot of lyrical similarities. Doctor Robert was about a person John Lennon was buying drugs from similar to I'm waiting for my man. She said She said is about an acid trip when somebody explained what it was like to die to john, tomorrow never knows is inspired from the book the Tibetan book of the dead. People like to think the beatles and the underground were years apart but they forget that the beatles love song period was from around 1962-1965 I'd say ending with Rubber Soul.

I suspect that The Beatles' "Day Tripper" was written about Edie Sedgwick. It is similar in theme to "Femme Fatale." Maybe that explains why The Velvet Underground jammed to it.

This is so much better than the Beatles , they could only dream about this sound. The VU make it there own sound. Now you understand why Lou didn’t like the Beatles.

Wrong title, this is actually a European Son rehearsal

Proof that not every bootleg is a cheap rip off. Proof that Lou started out with some talent but in need of direction and a cause. Here he sounds like a thousand other guitarists, jamming and concentrating on getting song right...yet every now and then he allows that inner beast to sun itself for a while. The finger picking is reminiscent of demos such as 'Row the boat ashore'. But this is heavier/deeper...definite hints at what was to follow. In, short, this is worthy of a place on any VU retrospective...as long as it's 5 or more discs long!

No, they definitely would have existed without them. Lou brought early rock and roll/doo-wop, pop and Dylan influence, with an experimental bent, and Cale brought the avant-garde/way more experiemental part, Mo the minimalist drumming, Sterling the master guitar work. Other than that few seconds of guitar, I don't think there's much Beatles influence in their work. They stand head and shoulders above the Beatles.
