Lou Reed - Pale Blue Eyes

[senchaisgreen]

I'm falling for a blue eyed boy. Cuts right down to the bone...

[audreyarets]

Oh adventureland amazing , couldn't sleep before I found this

[grunntalll]

why is the studio version not anythwere on here?

[feezy243]

How did this lovely thing turn into Lulu... :(

[WhoseFranklin]

If you think Lou reed got the words wrong your clearly not a velvet underground fan. Lou is all about being raw and in the moment. Most of there songs you can find different versions of released on different albums of theirs. This is clearly is his version for that day with what feelings he had at that moment, a much less poppy version than the original, but ALL Lou

[SkunkyAngry]

Hmm not his best rendition of this song...

[Buffjinx27]

adventureland brought me here

[fonspark1]

Lou sings as he feels it a that moment.. no 2 versions will ever be the same.. some times faster, sometimes slower... words may change, but its what was in his heart that day

[loureedsjewfro]

he's such a beautiful artist it's almost painful ;~;

[carnwath]

No I listened again and liked it

[im4out]

magic*****

[istickmensa]

I can't even explain how much I love him. Lou Reed is a beautiful person.

[johnderka]

I got a boner

[A10thunderbolt]

This while, and should, end up being Lou's signature song. One man's opinion.

[bikkieburp]

my man..............

[ninahijmans]

i like the Hole version better



[jjhtr]

Great sound and arraingement

[felixogabbe]

WHY IS IT SO FEW VELVET UNDERGROUND VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE...................

[feezy243]

no one could play this song how mr. lou reed plays it

[rubyrose456]

WOW!! just incredible! LOVE LOU!!!!! Thanks, for sure!

[carnwath]

I think this a very good version

[mollkatles]

@carnwat Are you kidding?!?!? He go ALL the words wrong! the band should have stopped and made him start over until he got it RIGHT!

[hermygagala]

@mollkatles I think he purposely got the words wrong dude. You know how many fucking times he has done this song live. I am pretty sure he knows the words to this song better than he knows himself. A lot of bands do several versions of particular songs, especially their biggest hits.

[krausmoscow]

on doesn't die of heat exhaustion in Formentera

[kisyawolf]

nico died of heat exhaustion... get your shit right both of you

[AugustoCxsRsBr]

Please, try the Marisa Monte's version, I think you're gonna enjoy it.

[mikmacarthur]

The similarities between my lifestyle, my ex with her pale blue eyes, and this song sends chills up my spine!

[TroutMaskReplicaa]

I don't want Lou to thank me. It brings him down to mere mortal status.

[TheRepoManHimself]

You don't have to thank me, Lou.

[BrandonSneadBrooklyn]

Is there a LOVE button?

[chh5555]

That famous quote "the velvet's first album only sold 20 000 copies but everyone that bought it went out and started a band" is by Briano Eno

[noirsociety]

i love how he sings it differently from the original...... it just to show that the song and lou has evolved throughout the years. man, i can't still believe this was aired 12 years ago, i remember seeing it on TV at the time and was mesmerized at the performance.

[EDUZOUL]

buena version.. eepa!!!

[warlleylucas]

Man, sorry, but I really DIDN'T like this version... maybe there's something to know about this performance that I'm not aware of, but his singing looks worse than a bunch of really amateur videos posted on YouTube. I liked the instrumental though.

[ntucker88]

@warlleylucas but his signing during the velvet underground is young n charming but not at he least technically sound.

[jerryskid1]

Love this song! Who's playing bass?

[pampa35]

Marisa Monte singing is much better.

Lou reed is great but Marisa's voice is amazing

[nimatek667]

sooo beautiful

[10Dante4]

daaamn it lou u still rock

[TheDomPavic]

wish he could sing well but absolutely love this song to bits

[mairabms]

Prefiro a versão da Marisa Monte, bem melhor.

[javdelas]

que?



[mairabms]

Prefiro a versão da Marisa Monte, bem melhor.

[YoungBelaLugosi]

Lou Reed is 1 of the most great literary song writer ever. he is a genius.

[europeairpost]

Meilleur interprétation de la chanson!!

[1502floyd]

great song

[TheUndergrnd]

great version! LLOOOUUU!

[darrengovier]

lovin the guitar xx

[JyHiable]

This performance of Lou Reed and his group is so beautiful, deep and well balanced that you'll be disapointed with all the covers.

[dorianpalepic]

Traumhaft, nur die soloversion von moe tucker kommt da ran!!!

[darrengovier]

the more i hear it....the more i love it

[darrengovier]

this clip is absolutely the best ever....rock on Lou we love you x

[JyHiable]

Lou Reed has allways had an ability to construct beautiful melody lines. He has reached in his later years a kind of inner harmony. I liked much his film "Lou Reed's Berlin".

[blueaeroplane10]

Brammer ......no more than brammer

[punkrocker1974]

Great !

[rents82]

..pure music..words..style..emotions.­.lost in this time so empty..

[MrWarszawa]

Words cant express the velvets and Lou....What can you say. You live em, you die em.

[jasonlmusic]

God...I LOVE this song!

[nick1137]

finaly great to see someone giving credit to sterling

[TMZtheBAMF]

the is so fantastic. my brain can hardly handle the awesome.

[joleblonde]

I don't think I have EVER heard a bad version of this song, no matter what instrumentation is used or what tempo or style it is played in. A truly great song.

[deweypug]

Agreed, Lou was the genius leader and writer for the Velvets, but we really need to thank Sterling Morrison's guitar riffs that made most of this music what it was, RIP Sterling...

[mkcu2]

One word - fukkin genius

[ddreamer]

two words actually haha

[frenz4life26]

fucking horrible. this makes me wanna kill lou reed. the only good version is the velvet underground version. fuck this shit

[rjrayner1972]

Your a fucking jerk. Slight variation on the original and you wet your pants. Get a life. LR was the Velvets.

[swissalps4]

very true.

[Timmybear]

I always thought Patti's variation 'and, babe, I think your time is up' was better than the studio line.

[mycroft999]

me too

[sanderzonderlijn]

Agreed! Sterling died so no "what if's" there.. but John Cale should've stayed with lou (actually the other way arround ;) ). Cale is such a great artist. About Moe.. i don't know..

[lizletsdisco]

haha what the hell? lou reed WAS the velvet underground...

[wiredclaypool]

Don't be so hard on yourself brotha

[garzabuena]

Temazo , lo descubrí en la gran pelicula que es Adventureland

[writingtoreachyou]

While Lou Reed and Nico did have a relationship, the song is actually written about Reed's college girlfriend, Shelly Albin.

[teamhowdy]

nico didn't kill herself she fell why riding a bike and hit her head.

also mo tucker was the female drummer in the velvet underground.

so basically everything you said was wrong

[Mangosunsplash]

@teamhowdy You are BADLY MISINFORMED about NICO's DEATH ,bro' :I was livin' in a 'squat' in Brixton ,London,UK 'early - mid 80's; a woman friend ,in the nxt. room was dealin' SMAK'.Someone knocked -desperately - at the door : I went to open it - IT WAS NICO!!!!!!She was'cluckin'/'hangin'out,and real desperate...She had a 'fix 'in my room,talked for a while (Yeah it was for REAL!)/ left..later that SAME summer she was found DEAD of a 'smak' OD in a park!!!!!...Creashonrebel@yaho­o.com

[pixelpunkx]

@Mangosunsplash hahahahhahhahhha,,,

[Mangosunsplash]

@teamhowdy You are BADLY MISINFORMED about NICO's DEATH ,bro' :I was livin' in a 'squat' in Brixton ,London,UK 'early - mid 80's; a woman friend ,in the nxt. room was dealin' SMAK'.Someone knocked -desperately - at the door : I went to open it - IT WAS NICO!!!!!!She was'cluckin'/'hangin'out,and real desperate...She had a 'fix 'in my room,talked for a while (Yeah it was for REAL!)/ left..later that SAME summer she was found DEAD of a 'smak' OD in a park!!!!!...Creashonrebel@yaho­o.com

[animal90sFreak5]

[TRESBELA]

[jimmyburke]

he's still going

[se4nyb0y]

yep he is still alive lol....easy mistake to make...he is a living legend...

[mymindourdream]

one of the most moving Reed's song!!***** !!!

[roor06]

exceptional ...

[venisfurs]

beautiful song!

[makokibcn]

Simply great

[12barbluez]

such a beautiful and timeless song. tasteful solo mike rathke i think sterl would have approved.

[dudaqsi]

I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ramonemeister]

is it me or is this in g instead of f?

[12barbluez]

its in G but beautiful in any key

[ramonemeister]

thank you for answering, i agree. haha why did i get a thumbs down for asking that? i was just trying to learn how to play it jeez

[12barbluez]

i'm sure you have worked it out but if not i think he uses the following chords in this G C D Am Em. good luck with learning it. if you get a friend to play the repeating lead line it can sound awesome.

[Paris2012olympics]

haha you prolly got a thumbs down by accident. =] good luck learning how to paly it

[pabloayb]

wow, that was good

[keg64]

great song ,love it

[PHMI16]

Today's Lou's Birthday!

Happy 66 Lou!!

[anulhyf34]

Actually he turned 67 this year.

[philwear]

beautiful song //// beautiful singer/ songwriter

[mikedtw]

I'm listening to this on headphones. the sound is simply superb. Glad its been posted/shared/enjoyed.

[ardoks]

GREAT LOU

[54spiritedwill54]

Beautiful song.

[galena33]

I saw that version and I'm about 99% sure that it was Velvet Underground

[Treester777]

Sorry, make that the 25th of January.

[Treester777]

This song was the closing song on Cold Case Sunday's episode, Jan 24th.

[Ludwig4156]

Just beautiful!!! One of my three favorites.

[policr0matico]

Really great song

[JossifAWeiss]

Lou is indeed one of the greatest singers of all time.

[nolanpotter1]

ha! He used to have decent pipes but I agree with what you said if it actually was sarcasm(hope to god). I think he should just talk the lyrics...It'd be like beat poet-esque. I'd be able to enjoy it much more.

[dajcei]

look, he is just talking the lyrics as it is. love lou. irreplacable.

[AshleygodHarvey]

my arse..

[PHMI16]

I'd like to thank you all for being so nice !

That solo Mike Rathke plays is gold.

[papyboomer85]

hum... à mon avis sa muse n'avait pas du tout les yeux noisettes...

C'est Nico, Femmme Fatale, et elle avait les yeux bleu pale :)

[loupala]

quando ascolto questa bellissima canzone penso ancora a te che con i tuoi occhi blu mi hai conquistato ely i love jou...grazie lou sei veramente grande

[deweypug]

I used to wonder why the Lou Reed and the Velvets were such an influence to so many others - for those of you who still do, listening to this song will cement any doubts... It is said that not many people bought Velvet records, but the ones that did, started bands... When I heard REM cover this song on Dead Letter Office, I almost pooped my pants at its beautiful sound - I picked up the electric guitar and never put it down. Thanks Lou, linger on.

[castlegirl28]

Sa muse aux yeux noisettes se prénommait 'SHELLEY'

[genealogyy]

j'connais pas la couleur de ses yeux, mais quand je chantes PBE, elle me manque...

[castlegirl28]

Ils ne sont pas bleus...

[HarmonicaFolk]

Best Version.

[louiseduvee]

Thanks!

[castlegirl28]

Lou Reed a écrit cette chanson pour une femme qui lui manquait beaucoup...Elle avait les yeux noisettes...

[genealogyy]

c vrai les yeux noisettes c joli... il avait raison!

[GeneralSticky1990]

Lou Reed, legend

[steve74ok]

3 luglio.. perdersi nei tuoi occhi Ale.

Qualche volta mi sento così felice, qualche volta mi sento così triste, qualche volta mi sento così bene... ma di solito mi fai impazzire tesoro : ) ... mi fai proprio impazzire e io, io mi soffermo sui tuoi occhi blu...Se potessi rendere il mondo puro e strano come lo vedo io ti metterei dentro uno specchio davanti a me..e poi mi soffermo ancora, sempre, sui tuoi occhi blu... sui tuoi occhi blu...

[Lioppaschen]

Also ich find Lou Reed besser in den 1960gern wo er mit VU sein absoluten Höhepunkt hatte.

The Velvet Underground ist einfach nur genial.

Und ich vermisse bei dieser Version total das solo von Sterling Morrison was Lou Reed mit den Worten SING YOUR OWN STERLING einleitet.

EINFACH NUR GEIL aber ich mag auch die Cover Version von R.E.M.

[guillermo8]

lou reed is the man

[MicBartz]

Erinnert mich an meinen liebsten Menschen...toller Song, aber am betsen noch immer auf dem grauen VU-Album von 1969.

[slapfunker]

the velvet underground>loaded, and nico, VU, with light with heat and velvet underground are some disc of the best music i've ever heard

i got bad english

[Cadilacwalk]

Lou ist wie ein guter Wein...mit dem Alter immer besser. Man fühlt seine Musik, immer schon... Thx!

[stunark]

lou plays some fuck up guitars....fuckin love him

[henrydoob]

MINT AS FUCK LAAAAAAAAA

[pryorandrew]

linger on

[rehabriot]

Beautiful song.

[Drewtazy]

Absoulutely!

[deathcommander]

About the best from one of the best

[kevinlavoy]

I've been looking all over for a tape or dvd of this broadcast. I thought Lou was very strong here. Would you consider posting any more? Like Future Farmers of America and Set the Twilight Reeling? I thought Lou just nailed those on this sessions broadcast. Thanks for the post.
