And he still can't get a good guitar tone after some 40+ years...Good band, though, and it is a nice song.

Lou Reed's vocals make John Cale seem like Pavarotti.

A fair rebuttal. I have a personal opinion about covers. You don't have to share it. I personally believe that Lou's song doesn't need Gabriel to "prove" that it's incredible. I've had a song covered by another artist, and it was definitely an honor, so you're right about that. As per your comment about pop, clearly we have a semantic disagreement, but it's largely irrelevant. I respect your opinion, though I can assure you I am anything but ignorant of music history and art.

@baTonkaTruck ....ok seriously Gabriel is proving that these lyrics and songs are incredible. Don't bash the fact that an incredible artist has covered this song. The fact that he did it is an honor to Reed on what he did. No need to compare the two versions.....btw gabriel is not about pop but your post is somewhat ignorant....

@baTonkaTruck .... quirky pop??? since when Peter Gabriel does pop???.... Ignorance once again........ exploitation?? it was done by common agreement..... Ignorance once again.... Most musician respect Peter Gabriel for pushing bounderies.... so stop, the only reason of this comment is probably 'cos you think Peter Gabriel did a much improved version of it. "No true artist" blah blah blah?... There's few people you can call "true artist"... Peter Gabriel without a doubt, is one of them !

um, good point?
I was there! Amazing night! Thanks so much for uploading these videos, I was so absorbed in the magic that I can't recall any specific moments, I just know it was amazing!
This song was the perfect way to close it, everyone just stood and watched in silence and awe.

Lou Reed is still a legend, one of the best nights of my life.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed the videos. I think it's a good way to remember bits of the show too and I often see things (esp. with the zoom) that I've totally missed at the gig. I agree, it WAS a great night.
