playing Sweet Jane w/ Lou Reed had to be the greatest thing that ever happened to Soul Asylum, unbelievable song and performance for all

[@lenalena6633]

no shit now i look at them different

[@lanapalij4014]

I agree! Fantastic song, and performance! Love it! R.I.P. Lou Reed…..

[@gregling]

I am a huge fan of both and love this video. Soul Asylum played bigger shows around the world than Lou ever did.

[@garagepunkfan]

Talk about a bunch of people here selling Soul Asylum short. Their legacy isn't their couple of mainstream hits. Their Twin-Tone records output is legendary, and they fit prominently into the Minneapolis music scene that gave us Husker Du and The Replacements..

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

FUK YEAH. CARRER highlight for "Soul Asylum ". Metallica also.

[@MrRazoramono]

Music can bring us together during these difficult times God Bless us all

[@dennymichan7237]

Uplifting words brother

The most beautiful love story ever written. Thank you Lou.

[@markheidema3699]

This version gives me goosebumps...so much energy.

[@scottwolfgram7076]

Goosebumps for me too

[@davidharris6510]

Lou Reed was a musical genius and will always be missed.

[@TriceratopsJr]

Dang, this is one of the best live performances of Sweet Jane I've seen, at least the highest quality

[@BrianFairbanks1]

My favorite version of my favorite song.

[@dsm26]

Wow. Lou is on fire here.

[@IamCatharinemme]

Insanely great. Lou was a don’t give a fuck intellectual musician and I dig it

[@mikes6970]

👍👍 the greatest ever ...

[@jonfazzone5125]

I remember Guitarist Mick Ronson saying he was getting ready to record a song on the Transformer Album and Lou was just strumming on an obviously out of tune acoustic guitar and Mick waited until Lou put the Guitar down so Mick could try to Tune it. Reed told Ronson don’t worry it sounds fine So yes Reed didn’t give 2 about his guitar being in tune. Just the Lyrics & the Songs.

[@michaelgreen5206]

Miss you a lot , Lou! Read your biography and what an interesting life you had. Rock-on, my brother.

[@marialuisanigro9567]

All my love for u Lou Reed. Yoy live in my heart and soul 4ever❤

[@GMillerWriter]

I was there in the 8th row for this, 17 years old and a senior in high school. Hell of a thing to see live. He and Al Green absolutely nailed it that night. Johnny Cash, too.

[@MA_808]

Lou Reed is missed...RIP

[@MarkArch-of6ho]

the young cats from Soul S.proud to be kicking it with the Legend...Lou Reed...beat his own drum..

[@Blake953]

Sweet Jane is a great Rock song...this is a great version...check out the version on Lou's album Rock and Roll Animal...that is a great live Lou Reed rock and roll album.

[@mick8018]

an artist in every sense of the word...

[@TOKYONHK]

Excellent…Thanks for sharing my friend…Have a nice day 😊❤

[@cruisinthefifties]

Not enough words.......I've watched this more times than I can count. Many thanks for putting this up.

[@ejcecil1305]

Maybe the best live performance of my life. Lou, an original punk, stink eyes the members of Soul Asylum. If you don't know why, well you do not know punk and Rock and Roll

[@AdaptivePhenix]

Heard a zillion versions but this fkin RULES 👍👍

[@christianeborchard3504]

Ruhe in Frieden, geliebter Lou! The Glory of Love! ♥️♥️♥️

[@robertpetzold8614]

Soul Asylum was an underrated band. They were all on fire here. Epic performance by all. Lou really let himself go here. Never saw him rock out like this.

[@algiuffrida7881]

TO ANY NAYSAYER'S ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT ROCK N ROLL NO BAD ALWAYS GREAT..SOME ARE JUST BETTER THAN OTHERS R.I.P. LOU..!!! YOU ARE MISSED..!!!

[@billywood7931]

This is really great

[@sixtedechanronddechanrond1330]

One of the best version for sure👍

[@buitoni123456789]

oh superb !!!

[@debbieedwards711]

Hell yea!

[@sticksman1979]

This is awesome.

[@lhart99]

Damn! Not only is this top shelf, but no one has given it a thumbs down. :-) That tells you right there that everyone who's watched this has damn good taste in music, I fuckin' LOVE that! :-) :-) ;-p

[@arjenvanderwal2784]

Now that's drumming!

[@tommyg8540]

Couldn't agree more. That was outstanding!

[@markpearce5075]

Superb

[@albysatriaji5518]

RIP LOU

[@steffenkorn9650]

One of the rare moments when Lou was in good mood. So what, he was a genius an the show was simply that good.

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

Lou was "That guy" but somewhat theatrical. BUT don't get it twisted he DEFINITELY WAS "THAT GUY". Legend, Genius. Looking down the Soul Asylum guys. That's Lou.

[@vancevoltron1664]

A+++

[@johnnynbk]

Lou shouldve toured with this band, they sounded like Max's kansas city album

[@mdteletom1288]

A helluva lot better than the Metallica bs.

[@MarkArch-of6ho]

Lou..too much....love his style..

[@geekay1349]

diggin' the groove on a Saturday night...

[@pgpagaia]

The 90s had this great energy of older glories from the past jamming with bands of 20 year olds. Notice how the musicians just took the stage with casual clothes. No need for much more than ass kicking rock n roll.

[@classiccarsclassicrock9433]

I love you Dave..

[@petersimons8666]

whatever people think of Lou Reed, the guy did carry this singanture tune allways in his career. Simple back beats used to perfection of a platform for others. Coybow Junkies for eaxample

[@melissatyree566]

What a great looking dude lou was. Saw lou in his heroin days in Dayton, ohio. He was white as a sheet. Dressed in black. I believe hall and oates opened for him. Lou you are a Legend.

[@user-cs6up8eq7s]

What year was that around 75 or 77 maybe

[@joannehack7588]

Perfection

[@MarkArch-of6ho]

lou..lou..

[@kellyoliver2852]

Damn Lou kinda killed this one

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

I guess Soul Asylum was good for a minute (bought their album in 96) but Lou Reed is a legend and this is a legendary song. I got to check it out (haven't watched).

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

Awesome. I miss Lou. NYC Man. I don't know if he wants to fight Soul Asylum, but you never knew with Lou. Such a badass. Since 1965, professionaly. He was always a badass 😎. Lou Reed was one of the coolest mf'ers ever. Wilt Chamberlain if Wilt was 5'9" 180 and white.

[@mibutler]

RIP Lou

[@bjmcmahon722]

Almost 30yrs old

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

The song is originally 55 years old when he was fronting the Velvet Underground, 50 years, since he re released it as a solo artist.

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

I liked "Soul Asylum " ,but they aren't in the discussion with Lou Reed. Lou Reed is a Rock God!!!

[@user-iz3zl5sy9g]

Right on! Dave's touch definitely catches Lou's attention and love watching Lou's response... he just lets loose. Absolutely great performance✌️

[@renzovacarisas7231]

A Force of Nature.

[@jmkenny]

The movie Train Spotting said it best (Fahken Lou Reeeed)

[@ejcecil1305]

When Lou sings " Sitting there by the fire" 1:57, he is indirectly saying to SOU ASYLUM, step the fuck up, you little BOYS. We are bring this song home, big time !!! Does anyone else get the same feeling?

[@mdteletom1288]

I just got the feeling Lou was expecting a solo during the break just before the "some people like to go out dancing..." verse and he looked a little surprised that no one took it.

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

Yes, I know Lou's personality and have watched his entire career till death. He's Absolutely 💯 taking these boys too school. "FUCKING step up your game, son!" Obvious. Lou Reed was maybe wasn't the best, but demanded the best or you will get a guitar upside the head.No fucking around. Lou was a genius though 👏

[@CexXTovar]

Lo más cercano que veré de ver tocar a Lou Reed y Kurt Cobain juntos. Se que es un comentario estupido y que nadie lo leera, es solo que ambos son mis heroes

[@joannehack7588]

💥

[@ChriTur]

0 dislikes. Goddamn right.

[@creativegirl9710]

Lou Reed has a MIck Jagger look about him...

[@PinShave]

Good stuff. But, Shitty camera work/Direction. I never saw the keyboard player but the Hammond Organ clone came thru in the mix.

[@alpha-omega2362]

Cousin ITT?

[@dennymichan7237]

Why are they just adding this material?

[@gerryd1953]

Denny Michan to give us live music junkies our fix lol

[@thegreatchain7112]

Metelica with Lou ? much better, where's the lead ? you have to play lead guitar with Sweet Jane ! the Velvet Underground and the concert at Berlin, Sweet Jane & rock and roll animal are the best

[@pennyburke9651]

Sloppy as fuck. Perfect as hell.

[@canislupis3129]

Sounds a little less punk, which sounds good.

[@powers.cj.80]

Reed wrote a good song. But this performance is dreadful. Original is some better. But THE COWBOYS JUNKIES' cover got me LOVING this song. Like it was made for them.

[@taxmanfunny6729]

You have no joy in your life

[@vancevoltron1664]

Lou is great but... the band..is kind of bad.

[@treehouserecords]

I don’t see how anyone can think that Soul Asylum did anything but a stellar job of doing justice to this iconic classic. Beats the RNR Animal version, if not up to the level of the Velvets’ (but what COULD be?).

[@MrDoctorMabuse]

See an ENT specialist with the quickness.

[@lyledouglas8324]

Lou was off as usual. To many drugs and drink did him in.

[@Paiadakine]

Sorry but this isn’t singing.
