That SOLO though!! Amazing Lou!! Never been a huge fan of this song in the studio, but this version rips!

I would love it if someone had a copy to upload, of his SNL performance, when he performed Original Wrapper - and Walk On the Wild Side. Great performances that night. 😺

Il mitico Lou ci trascina in un brano da leggenda..... ritmo e trasporto.....🎸😆✌️💪. Ciao Tiz. 😎♋

This has LAST EXIT vibes. Great song. People who bash this stuff must have missed all of the silliness and "cringiness" of the Velvets. Lou at his best, IMHO -- much more interesting and fun in retrospect than the blowhard stuff like NY.

He’s so “ON”! No disrespect intended, but I can’t listen to this without thinking of the SNL skit with Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken with the cowbell. “They’d be doing themselves and everyone else a disservice if they didn’t perform the hell out of this thing!” This is amazing. They are all so in the zone. I just love Lou Reed! Some of his greatest talent was in arranging and directing. He had it all. These lyrics are hilarious, too. “Hey pitcher, better check that batter”.

lou reed funky or 'tight' as others have pointed out what's not to love ?

[@Refoundsound]

One of my favorites!

[@GusFogle]

I can't say this is a great song, but damn his band was tight!

[@churchtaff]

I now understand what he means in Candy Says about wanting walk away from one’s body…

I FUCKING LOVE LOU REED!
