Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby

[@nosnayack]

Lou Reed did not have a singers voice but he was a great singer. You don't miss a word of a song. He was fierce. Every note he song was truly his own - his own way. His language was to speak the truth and to bring forth a world many would not have looked at without judgement. He was a poet. His songs shone a light through a darkness of shame, judgement and ignorance. And we saw a world of human beings - flawed , but grand and the truth extends to them their rightful grace. He described those moments in their lives that transcended their circumstance. And told us something about ourselves. LOU REED TOLD THE TRUTH. R.I.P.

[@dlancaster1234]

Amen!

[@ChrisKay54]

This is one of the best performances of one of his best songs played next to the great Robert Quine. Lou looks great, young, healthy. It will take the world decades if not a century to figure just how good he was. It hurts to know he is gone.

[@Misslotusification]

when was that gig?

[@ChrisKay54]

Early 90's, I believe.

[@Misslotusification]

Christopher Kay He seems younger to me but you might be right. Thx mate.

[@ChrisKay54]

Misslotusification I think you are right. Bob Quine last played with him on the mid to late eighties tours, so he may be in his mid 40's in this video.

[@jgoldie222]

You couldn't be more right. It is desperately sad to watch these brilliant, creative, contrary men fade away and leave us with the predictable antiseptic product of many artists now. If Lou had lived even another 10 years, whatever music he would have put out, everyone knows it would have divided, been totally original and had balls. That is special.

[@roadworthy3now]

My favorite Lou song. What a great version. I'm so glad I got to see this line up with Robert Quine play live. RIP Robert and Lou

[@franzott6010]

[@jf160297]

*THE GLORY OF LOVE*

[@fonspark1]

The smile and laugh Lou gives after singing the Glory of Love, tells me just how much he was into singing this song... the most powerful version of this song I have heard..... Give it to me Baby!!!!! Long live LOU!!!!

[@analemos4389]

Great song.Great Lou as always.You're so missed.

[@Salfordio]

My favourite version. Damn it, this is perfect.

[@2010pjm]

i want to play football for the coach. RIP my friend Thank you for the ride.

[@peace1969]

prime Lou Reed - from a great album. live here w. 2nd (lead) guitarist the so-talented late Robert Quine

[@davidgrahamscott]

What happened to the 'want to play football for the coach' intro. I loved those lyrics..

[@passthrufire]

thanks for your comment. it's the same with me. can't get enough of that stuff. 'coney island baby' is one of my favorites.

[@easyesteemer]

I listened to this when I was 20 and now at 56 it still means exactly the same to me. Just the faces and the places have changed.

[@Pattycake1165]

My dad actually introduced me to Lou Reed at a young age. I always thought the transformer cover was of Frankenstein so I thought Lou Reed was Frankenstein. We'd be riding in the car and I'd say "Dad lets listen to Frankenstein". Still a big fan of Lou. R.I.P, Frankenstein.

[@WoodRatGirl]

***** Haha..at thinking he looked like Frankenstein. Yeah....Transformer is a great album

[@slambo70]

Lou is the man, this is such a glorious song, great stuff indeed

[@LauDowney]

I love him so much!!!!!!!

[@Burnzy1976]

Thank you God, I'm so glad this is back up!🍺

[@Starwa_74]

Amazing version. RIP Lou. One and Only.

[@amcfool1]

this is about as good as it gets. Adult Rock&Roll. He's been gone a couple of months now, but, I still miss him. He was one of my angels.Glory of Love indeed....

[@cotecio]

a marvellous version of one of the greatest masterspiece of Lou. thanx lou

[@TheScarlettdragonfly]

He gave New York it's sound.. Pure genious!

[@MyDannywilson]

loved lou xxx she have been a poet xx

[@DewInAnthem]

Quine, God rest his soul, Is absolutely brilliant. What a concert concert tour this was. I was privileged to see it a few times.

[@noddyholder79]

Truth thanks Lou for all the good times and Mr Quine

[@genericusername337]

yeah every time i hear that intro, i fall into the same trance i did the first time.

[@camillalouise1]

Lou is the best when on top. When not - - - this is a beauty!

[@bigunfromwigan]

the glory of lou reed xxxxxxxx

[@TheVanmanderpootz]

This is the best version of this track.Strangely romantic and visceral all at the same time.Robert Quine is/was one the greatest and most recognizable lead guitarists in terms of style that I have heard.If I had a time machine I would go back to the concert in 1983 at the Bottom Line NY. Oh and why do we have to compare Lou Reed to the Stones anyway? I love both.Can't we leave it at that?

[@angalvezp]

the rock and roll animal! I will see him for the first time in my life next week in Barcelona.

[@piroschka6]

this was definetly my favourite track you createt.now your music remains ....the glory of love also stays in my heart. thank you for the music,lou.i ll miss you!!!!!

[@oysterboy9]

[@acapulcoramon7601]

[@dyr2323]

[@ledivo59]

.... one of his greatest Songs... "for Lou & Rachel" ... love it!

[@gypsoul]

ahhhhh...the glory of love! Sweet dreams Lou!

[@EarlofSuave308]

1,000 Thanks! It was the closer!, audio production by Lou Reed in the closing credits. 42 years old, he looked relatively healthy, I only have ten favorites on my channel and I made this one of them, so I thank you again for taking the time. All the best ;)

[@Richie7390]

no way never, I love them both.

[@DanikunKO7]

Madness in his eyes!

[@dinglegonzo]

Robert Quine looks like Hunter Thompson..Robert plays from his heart a true natural!

[@sukie584]

Lou Reed and Robert Quine were an amazing combination.. may they both rest in peace..

[@patrickmichels7888]

Great version of this great song. One of Lou's best of that he has plenty. His voice is so strong and clear. Rober Quine great guitarist for Lou. Rachel was his "girlfriend" back then when he was living a different life. There is no one like Lou. One of a kind.

[@punkrocker1974]

Lou is THE GOD OF ROCK !

[@patrickmichels7888]

Great version of this great song. One of Lou's best of that he has plenty.

[@MrTamborineMan19]

Excellent!!! A rockin' and powerful performance by Lou!

[@glamrockkidz]

Yes this is a true masterpice .a s I get older I just love his earlier stuff more and more. Robert Quine was a pure genius...................... Man, I swear I'll give the whole thing up for you!

[@justarelia]

Thank you, Lou. You are one of my greatest inspiration.

[@dlp2006]

Brilliant Lou and Robert

[@LarzGustafsson]

A fantastic poet.

[@patrickmichels7888]

[@coreenagotcha]

[@RebelThoughts82]

One of his best songs hands down!

[@uEquusVideo]

To discover this track and to better understand this artist after his passing is sad. But not to have discovered him at all, would have been a tragedy. This is a stunning track and one of my favourites of all time. His lyrics are incredible a true poet.

[@SandSpock33]

The Glory Of Lou.

[@PurplehazemindAndy]

ROCK´N ROLL ANIMAL & GREAT POET!

[@petervanherp6691]

Quine actually recorded a lot of V.U-shows around 1969-1970. They were released as The Quine Tapes years ago.

[@rollercoastertoaster]

Rest in peace Lou. Thank you for the music.

[@MarquisSmith]

You'd never guess speed was his drug of choice, would you? Intense as all hell. Lou Reed. We miss you brother.

[@timnaughton918]

[@peskypesky]

[@pbini]

the glory of love!

[@josemarti2114]

I LOVE this

[@strummersbrother]

Listened to this vid quite a bit over the past week, made me want to pick up my guitar, which i did. it's a few simple chord progressions, but to pull it off like Lou and his band, that's another story altogether, but i find it an inspirational song & an amazing performance by RNR Animal Lou. Thanks for posting.

[@mirandasblog]

The glory of love... might see you through!

[@codeastronomer]

It's when the camera has zoomed in on his face (around 2:45) that it knocks you for six with the pure power of Lou's lyrical genius.

[@dyr2323]

really love really lou!!!

[@Burnzy1976]

Love this song...play on, Lou.

[@edholdwright3063]

the best of the best-no doubt

[@dyr2323]

I LOVE LOU

[@roseofcimarron]

Cultural New York's anthem! What a beautiful poem.

[@room202]

Thanks Lou!!!

[@jscscs]

Very sad about Lou. My brother texted and said "The Blue Mask is finally taken off." and that is how I found out. I was lucky enough to see Lou and Quine play in 1985. When he walked on stage, people yelled "Lou" which sounded like a BOO of love. So sad today.

[@cdfu2b]

Love you Lou

[@dirkvan3]

best song ever

[@vividvisuals]

Love it always love that man's music

[@kindkingkenne]
