Being a Velvet-obsessed since nearly fourty years I never thought that any cover could reach me. Ok, I liked Joy Divisions version of Sister Ray. But Beckman's interpretations really strike me, especially this one! It's running in continuous replay. Have to come down with a third Fernet Branca ;-)

This is quite ok, compared to some of the other covers he´s done here.
The only artist performing this and Waiting For The Man convincingly is John Cale, creator of the Velvets sound:
John Cale - Venus In Furs by thisisnofunatall
John Cale - I´m Waiting For The Man by ForARide
John Cale - Waiting For The Man by femmeBanale
See for yourself

@JMB666 Maybe Beck is Andy's secret love child! No... wait.. oh yeah, that couldn't quite work...

FYI to those who don't know...
Becks mother hung out at Warhols Factory and
Warhol managed the Velvet Underground.
Becks mom + VU = VU covers by Beck

@supperunknown well yeah, when trying to cover a legendary rock album, cutting corners is not an option.
