Touching tribute to MY guitar hero Sterling Morrison. There is also a rehearsal take of this tune from the same night that has made the rounds. It is more uptempo and has Mo's vocals more upfront. Shame the video got cut from the final TV airing.
Vocally, I assume you mean, as she's not in this picture. I would agree. I saw a recent picture of her, Lou and Doug, and, well, she has avoided the boots of time the most.

Great. They're all falling away now.... Life is great but it also really sux... That's the price we pay for riding the magic carpet with them down thru all these the years. Our whole lives, really. Rock on, baby.

I was influenced by the music of The Velvet Underground in the 1960s when I was growing up as a musician. Unlike the Beatles, The Velvet Underground represented the darker element of human nature to me, but it did not matter. Lou Reed and company had talent and an awesome sense of humor. I, too, will miss Sterling Morrison. Memory Eternal with Happy Trails.
Thanks for uploading this. What a gem, I didn't even know it existed. There's always been something magic when these four, now sadly three, got together. At first you might think that it's kinda silly, and it's so simple & yet so touchingy real.

absolutely heartbreaking.
The remaining velvets, in all their out of tune glory. It still comes across as honest as any song in their heyday.
This just may be their saddest song of all.
I want to name my first child Sterling.

I love how Mo's drums come in right at the end. Reed and Cale may have battled to be the brains of the band, but she was the heart.
