The Feelies - What Goes On

[@brianmccrae8767]

The Feelies were great when I saw them open for REM at a Halloween Evening concert during the late 80s at the University of Vermont. I had one album and it was amazing! They had a sort of folk punk feel that complimented REMs music. Probably one of the most underrated bands of the decade!

[@rallabhandiprabhakar4750]

The Feelies may be the ultimate example of the best ever obscure band . Some of the most hypnotic rock music in 80s came from this band and they are still active.

[@AllanOstermann]

Another great band with a few good, hypnotic songs was Dream Syndicate, like "Still Holding to You."

[@emmettmckenna4565]

A different genre, but Rain Parade were very good also!

[@ElaineShute]

LOVE Rain Parade! And Dream Syndicate are still making great music.

[@crashatollah]

Of course this hypnotic music came from the Velvet Underground. I LOVE the Feelies

[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

RIP Lou Reed. Thanks for the amazing music and for influencing so much coolness such as this band.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Wow..they really nailed 'the ostrich' guitar sound! A truly worthy cover of one of Lou's greatest early songs. Fab.

[@strumbolli]

Im new to discover The Feelies.. Imagine my delight to find they've covered one of my favourite songs.

[@rodoza66]

The Feelies. What a great band! Still listening to them some 40+ years on...

[@richholoch8230]

An example of where a cover is so much more than "just a cover"

[@Diecastclassicist]

One of the best covers ever. My second favorite band doing a song by my first!

[@jeffstone7912]

I saw them play in Tucson in 1988. I like their tune “Away”

[@PeterWesleyBastone]

What a great track!

[@PeterWesleyBastone]

Marie Pike :)

[@MortenRod-z1c]

First time listen.. Good song.

[@Leshtastic]

Saw them at the Roxy in 1987 or 1988. Was 18. Loved the show. Caught the drumstick thrown into the audience. Such a great band.

[@germanodias2862]

Masterpiece...

[@danc4306]

Very much looking forward to a new album by The Feelies in 2017. See them live. Best band ever.

[@littlekingtrashmouth9219]

It did not disappoint.

[@ToddtheExploder]

I’ve come to the conclusion that the Feelies were not exactly a great band, but they made some GREAT music, including one of my favorite albums ever. How is it possible that I never heard these guys until my adult son turned me on to them? When is this world coming to?

[@pfmaguire2000]

one of my favorite college bands....

[@wendianne333]

Saw them open for Lou Reed New York tour. Whadda show!!

[@robertlackey5845]

Saw them so many times in Hoboken and NYC in the 90s...

[@raidsado8718]

I love the velvet underground, but the feelies is so good, too

[@Alleswirdgut1982]

Real and raw. Great Stuff!!! Hard to find in modern-day music. New music often sound like "plastic". Very unreal.

[@26dannyman]

yes! that rules! best cover!

[@JoseLuisZapatero]

FEELIES! this was the first of their record I bought... listened to it for weeks over and over. Afterwards discovered the others. I hope they will tour europe any time soon...

[@toxickatie]

I just turned the volume to 11. i highly recomend it.

[@drstevie]

So good.

[@brunobormannzero]

Great band! Saw them live at Hurrah's in NYC, back in 1979. Thanks for posting.

[@TheSwiftsMusic]

goddamn it, this makes me want to start on my album all over again

[@MilkOfSuccess]

Saw them last Summer. Super fun.

[@JLLaurens]

At time... (80s..) that band was a surprise to me. Today i try to have all records that i find. Its.....☺

[@ElPolloReal]

That's great news about the re-releases and about time too!

[@alvesmonteiro5022]

Amazing

[@marc-andre7178]

BON SANG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pfmaguire2000]

awesome cover!

[@Vivzid]

i wish this song was on Classic Rock radio stations

[@Bill2226]

God Bless the Feelies :)

[@kelechi_77]

And all who sail with them

[@Jonah1000]

Tsugaheterophylla, Mo Tucker would stand whilst playing the drums so her beat was deliberately offbeat or "out of balance." This is a good cover and if you're loooking for other VU type bands then check out The Dream Syndicates Days of Wine and Roses

[@aaronstrahm3853]

Great cover!

[@Ca1vin-X]

Yes, not bad--It sounds more like Foggy Notion (music) merged with What Goes On (lyrics)

[@Sunflower0122Z]

I just ordered them and have tickets to see them in Hoboken too

[@rebjiii]

excellent cover ....they do a great Dancing Barefoot cover too...and a PAINT IT BLACK cover

[@grosgraslarge]

this is nice but I still prefer the original. Velvelt underground !!

[@poughkeepsiejohn1]

You know, they've just re-released The Feelies first three albums, including their 1980 classic, "Crazy Rhythms". They're all terrific albums and trying to find them until now has been almost impossible. Thank God they're out!

[@maytegon6690]

BELLA canción.

[@Mpshfromlowell64]

Awesome cover; respectful toward the original, but imbuing the song with the band's own spirit.....

[@petrab1908]

I can't believe I've got to my advanced years and only recently discovered this excellent band!? Always loved the Velvets and this is the 2nd band I've heard doing an excellent job of covering one of their tracks this week, The other being a f**king wonderful version of 'Pale Blue Eyes' by The Kills, which if you've not heard, I would strongly suggest doing so!Huge thanks for sharing this Guyitho, really like it a lot.

[@breatheintheair570]

I think i'm always falling down! 😎 🚬

[@TheDenman47]

Luv

[@jmh2277]

At the risk of anathema, I still maintain that this cover eclipses the original

[@ciaranosullivan9352]

June Hose I agree with you

[@davidmaholchic6146]

Pleasant punk

[@christopherthomas7253]

Mercer and Million, literally unrecognizable in the pic at the start.

[@danielscissorhands]

Nice Lou Reed imitation. If I hadn't known it was by The Feelies I would have thought it was actually a demo by the Velvet Underground.

[@TheFizz40]

Can we not just lump The Feelies in as another Velvets. Sure, VU had a tremendous influence on them, but they evolved into so much more.

[@marcellamurphy5759]

TheFizz40 v

[@RioRav]

They sound more like Television than Velvets to me

[@marc-andre7178]

BON SANG!!!!

[@MockyRock]

This a velvet underground cover. And a pretty damn good one at that

[@hildaatje]

@tjchicago Blast from the past! I have seen them several times,but at least 20 years ago.So they still perform?

[@igsigsolutions5248]

Bravo! Thought it was a Beatles cover though.

[@Sunflower0122Z]

I missed the reunion, where did they play? They were awesome in concert back in the day

[@marc-andre7178]

BON SANG

[@RAlexanderG]

@DjangoMozart they continued to be awesome. look it up.

[@patriciapullman]

Miss Them*

[@spicerldn]

Tight. Methadone Velvet .

[@ramonsarobe7203]

Velvet's best version

[@rebjiii]

+Margarito Pilots...YEP, this is a great cover.... I am going to see the Feelies in concert at the 9:30 club in washington DC tonight.....I've seen them perform live 2 others times

[@DjangoMozart]

i was most disappointed with their '90/ or '91 release. Sorry if it's your kind of thing, but it didn't work for me. The vigour they had in previous incarnations isn't present (for me, anyway). Cconsidering they were such a great band, I'm open to re-experiencing their sound. Any suggestions ?

[@johndevault]

dork rock but good.

[@simonestramigioli3538]

This is a Velvet Underground's cover, unlikely the one by Screaming Trees....

[@simonestramigioli3538]

i love screaming trees

[@luvumo2day]

snatcheroo kazoonheight 24

[@LowBid86]

Kinda sounds like the Bongos...!

[@1conec]

he sings like lou

[@Franovan]

Three people in youtube should get some musical education.

[@pierrefox9802]

how? how is this good?

[@brianehnert]

digital music age annoying sometimes. guess there's a rights issue cuz this has never been on shitty spotify (sorry musicians but unpopular opinion: my general comfort is more important than royalty disagreements and maybe musicians were making too much money before)

[@brianehnert]

that last part was to the spotify triggered folks

[@DjangoMozart]

I'd hafta go w the YU original, but outside of the overly-repititious percussion it's another great track from a decade of mostly rubbish. WTF happened to them in '90 ?

[@Tsugaheterophylla]

Can't go wrong with a VU cover, but this is kind of weak.The backbeat is out of balance with the rest of the band, it's just annoying. Vocals are weak too. Overall it's colorless.

[@ciaranosullivan9352]

Tsugaheterophylla I kind of love it as always with the feelies theguitar solo is sublime

[@stacyflowers7250]

I'm thinking your ears are weak

[@stevek292]

Weak? Seriously? Oy vey.

[@gasparucciox9706]

one of mi fav new wave guitar bands
