The Velvet Underground - Venus in Furs

anyways, who' are the people dancing?

That we're Mary Woronov and Gerard Malanga. They performed a wipedans during this song and they were part of The Factory from Andy Warhol. Andy made total art with The Velvets: music, film projection, light shows and dance all together. The man was allready living in the future! Great isn't it?

is it cale singing?

It is John indeed ! This is a really special performance. Maybe Lou had a cold?

whatever the reason, it's nice to hear
he sings it in the demos aswell, wonder how they decided Lou would to the album version
the both sing it great

Normaly it is impossible for John to sing and play the Violen at the same time. And the viola has a central part in this song. If you look at the video dvd "Velvet Redux Live MCMXCIII" a live recording made in Paris, you see John playing the viola and Lou playing the guitar and singing the song. All the live versions, except the one above show the same setup. So luthander, pardon me for my extreem fixation on all the things that matters Lou Reed, Warm Greats from BillyBoy.

Hehe !

Ingrid Superstar at her "finest" (???)

i think you both should shut the fuck up

You're really immature. If you don't like the Beatles, then that kind of proves you've got shitty taste in music.
