Lou Reed - Men Of Good Fortune (live 2006 - HD)

[@mjjames2442]

Gotta say Steve Hunter is playing GREAT rhythm guitar here. What a great moment. Lou!

[@kanashiimurakamisan]

Another great performance, typical of the man. His early stuff was brilliant but, IMO, he got better with time. Sadly no longer here in body, but his spirit & songs will live on forever.

[@Jlipnicki]

The usual critic's take is the VU stuff was brilliant and ' Transformer ' then he went off. The usual critic's nonsense. ' Berlin ' was a great album. Some Velvet's stuff is crap.

[@kanashiimurakamisan]

@@Jlipnicki I largely agree. I'm a big fan of Lou Reed's solo work. Along with the albums you mention, I'd add New York, Magic & Loss & later releases. All excellent LPs. That's not to say that I don't appreciate the earlier Velvet Underground releases. I do. The VU were also an excellent live band. I just think his solo work says so much more to me & has greater depth. A brilliant poet in his prime.

[@Jlipnicki]

@@kanashiimurakamisan I am in no way dismissing the VU albums, the third one is my favourite, and the Live ' 69 one recorded in San Francisco. ' Songs for Drella 'with John Cale is outstanding too.

[@kanashiimurakamisan]

@@Jlipnicki Indeed so re VU’s “1969” live double LP. One of the best live recordings (if not THE best) that I’ve ever heard. For me, not a poor track on it. I considered it so good that I bought VU's “The Complete Matrix Tapes”, which has 2 entire nights from the same live set on 4-CDs in a boxed edition. Brilliant! Quite rare now, so hopefully they’ll re-release it before too long. - FWIW, it only cost me £17.99 new in 2016. One hell of a bargain even back then. - I also echo what you say about “Songs For Drella”. Despite its musical minimalism, both Reed’s & Cale’s creative powers never falter throughout that. Another classic.

[@Jlipnicki]

@@kanashiimurakamisan Reed does a solo, quite rare, on ' Forever Change ' which is so good. 1969 was a record played endlessly when I was a young student in Manchester mid 80s. The version of ' Sweet Jane ' with verses never used elsewhere is a favourite. He was a romantic, sometimes.

[@ag_deville]

My neighbors have heard this track many times. Lou Reed Berlin Live at St. Ann's Warehouse is one of my favorite live recordings. Steve Hunter had many standout moments and Lou looked and sounded his best. Great album, great performances.

[@jimstafford2832]

Mine don't talk to me. ......thanks Lou

[@antonvinther5488]

Saw this at a local indy cinema at 20 years old. Youngest person by 35 40 years, and fell in love with all of the attendees on the way out

[@Lewdromantic]

RIP, man who gave us the power to live.

[@TheWaltm]

Very well put, my friend! I like that.

[@reresimone4300]

sorry, how?

[@OsoMarcol]

There will always be men of good fortune and men of poor beginning. It is up to yourself to do something with it. Do not let them take your freedom.

The essence of a true Rock n roller❤️❤️⭐️👍🏽💪🏽

[@terencemartinohare3631]

Reeds music is not everybody's favourite style of music but it suited myself's music.i seen him live in Glasgow,where I come from and Manchester England and also Toronto Canada all concerts were brilliant rip.mr. Lou reed

[@nanana8876]

with simple chords, what a message, what a song, immortality lou!

[@terencemartinohare3631]

What a super song one of my favourites.back then Lou Reed was my one and only idol.anway seen his concerts in Glasgow,Manchester,Toronto,New York. Rest in pease Mr. Lou Reed.

[@nimatek667]

one of my favourite...can understand those feelings. Lou's just Great!

[@mackgino]

Literally the best live song ever. Uncle Lou is GOAT.

[@amcfool1]

155 hits so far,America you are pathetic! This is essentiall rock and roll., a singular meditation on the concepts of greed and nihilism, as only Lou Reed can present it, and, with an absolutely top tier band. Steve Hunter, Fernando Saunders, Antony, etc...C'mon people..LISTEN!

[@denaweisman1386]

Steve is the man.

[@mikegeo76]

And they are so obsessed with History.

[@TheWaltm]

I like your coment.

[@alex79teramo49]

Another one of your great performances. R. I. P. Lou. Alex from Italy.

[@ecolelorry9199]

rare solo de Mister Lou pas une grosse technique, mais tellement de feeling et de vibrations

[@pommelhorsepommelhorse8731]

lou reed wrote some of the most beautiful melodies in rock and roll and then he refused to sing any of them

[@LactatingFly]

most rock and roll thing ever. In this concert he's pretty close to the original and his deviations are actually quite good because the band follows him.

[@michaelpeuplie6464]

The same could also be said about Dylan as well. He doesn't want to be seen as a human jukebox. As convoluted and radical as they may sound live, he makes it work and in some instances, even better.

[@jaysonwilliams2485]

It sums up this world when I'm the first person to like it!

[@stefanogiannotti7801]

Great live performance! Music miss an artist like Lou!!

[@michaeltsang5653]

Berlin is my top 3 album in all times

[@yaelpalombo4093]

Masterpiece!

[@franciscomendonca2494]

Mr Lou Fucking Reed Forever!

[@jacquesleecoleridge1107]

Legend,he is such an leader for me.

[@in-distanza3316]

The final guitar solo makes me think of some lost summer.

[@mdteletom1288]

It made me wonder why the heck he needed Metallica!

[@andrescalleroruiz1555]

MEN OF GOOD FORTUNE OFTEN CAUSE EMPIRES TO FALL. LOVE YOU LOU. LIFE GAVE ME A PRESENT, AND IT WAS TO MEET YOU AND HAVE A GOOD CHAT TOGETHER. THANK YOU. ALWAYS IN MY HEART.

[@StefanoConti-]

[@adow77]

This is a great version but its worth listening to the original if only to listen to Jack Bruce’s bass.

~ L y r i c s ~ Men of good fortune often cause empires to fall While men of poor beginnings often can't do anything at all The rich son waits for his father to die the poor just drink and cry And me, I just don't care at all Men of good fortune very often can't do a thing While men of poor beginnings often can do anything At heart they try to act like a man handle things the best way they can They have no rich, daddy to fall back on Men of good fortune often cause empires to fall While men of poor beginnings often can't do anything at all It takes money to make money they say look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way Anyway, it makes no difference to me Men of good fortune often wish that they could die While men of poor beginnings want what they have and to get it they'll die All those great things that life has to give they wanna have money and live But me, I just don't care at all Men of good fortune men of poor beginnings Men of good fortune men of poor beginnings Men of good fortune men of poor beginnings Men of good fortune men of poor beginnings ~●~
