I loved Lou’s music for years and years. This was the first time ever hearing this. Thank you Lou. And thank you for posting this video. So powerful, so so powerful.

[@TitusAndronicusTheBand]

Lou cracking up at the bass slide at 6:31 is as wholesome as the man ever got

[@fractuss]

This was so unexpected. Powerful. It's my first time hearing this.

R.I.P Lou Reed, your music lives on. Don't worry Lou. Your grave will be kept clean. Great song, Lou at his best.

[@calebwoods9029]

I appreciate your kind comment! I believe Lou was cremated, and his wife Laurie Anderson, spread his ashes! 💓

[@marisasoares3907]

SO, LOU REED IS EVERYWHERE.......

[@peteypickles7209]

Can’t believe this comment is 10 years old. Has it been that long? Rip indeed.

[@mosriteminioncause7741]

When I hear this, I think about getting lost down on Riverside Drive in Baltimore, in the marshes. My wife had just died at UBMC. Our baby; she was just 11mo. old. It was desolate and beautiful. Looking over at the Key Bridge, I stopped put my head down and despair took hold...

[@antonion327]

"It always bothers me to see people writing 'RIP' when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop-out. To me, 'RIP' is the microwave dinner of posthumous honors." -Lou Reed

[@CKMyers]

sorry, never been told that before, but i'll give ya thought next time i write it, but i mean it as an Honorable remark, so i'll probably go with it, but like i said, didn't ever mean no bother. Peace, DaKwala

[@pse888]

if it bothers you - that's your ego speaking. your take is misplaced in my opinion.

[@veloboy]

Don’t let Lou’s ego bother you then.

Lou Reed restera un Ami à jamais. Cet homme que j'ai aimé dès mes 15 ans, qui m'a accompagné lorsque j'ai connu les défaites les plus terribles de ma vie de junkie, comme au temps de mes grosses bagarres et victoires sur la came, je l'ai toujours dans la peau à 60 piges. Je lui dois énormément. Et lorsque j'écoute son interprétation de ce vieux blues, j'en ai la gorge nouée.
