I can't believe I never saw The Trio of Lou, John, and Mo paying tribute to Sterling at the RHOF induction ceremony. That last shot of John Cale "(Saying) goodbye to my friend..." brought a tear to my eye. I went back after the conclusion of the doc to view and listen to "Last night ...", again, and remind how young 'Sterl' was and the ducts swelled again. Lou sweetly smiles at Mo's lyric and her heartfelt pounding drum. Cale exhales and rises from his piano. Goodbye dear friends. Sterling Morrison 1942-1995; Lou Reed 1942-2013

Hi Cam, in your description to this song you have Reed as sole songwriter, which is wrong. They are all credited for the song on the lp, so I hope you correct it. Only crediting Lou for the songwriting just ads more fuel to the superficial narrative that the Velvets were entirely about him and maybe a little Warhol and Nico besides, which most people believe in. I don't know how many books you have read about the Velvets and also the biographies of Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico. Reading all them books, it's pretty obvious, that the other band members offered far more inpetus into the music, especially John Cale, than Reed wanted us all to believe. Sterl said that they gave all the writing credits to Lou, just to have peace within the band. Moe stated that John had far more to do with the end product on TVU&N and WL/WH than people think. David Bowie said that Cale was the sound of the Velvets, after working with Reed on Transformer. IMO Cale should have been co-credited for the music, but Reed's enormous selfishness unfortunately got in the way. My credo is always credit to where credit is due!

I have NEVER seen this footage, and I thought I saw and heard everything. Part of the allure of the Velvets is about how little there is to watch of them. The only live performance I've seen of them in their prime is the Warhol footage of them from the lighting booth, as well as the famous Factory jam.

What a great documentary. Really insightful and well made! Kudo's

What a great doc! And now I know why even some of the more difficult VU songs kept me entranced. It was Moe's bedrock drumming.

This song is now 58 years old. Still as brillant, powerful and innovative as ever.

This should have way more views, this is breathtakingly good

This is the "Peter Gun" bass riff isn't it? Love this band, and you are great Cam.

Where did you get that drumset. I can’t find one with a bass drum upright

Hey Irish nice talking with you, 3rd generation myself ☘️ about the extent of memory here too 😅 except for the ❤ I'll always have for John Cale ✌️

Incredibly perfect covers ! The spirit, soul and sound of the VU !

Cam, did you change your number? Can’t call you on watsapp - gimme a shout if you can!!

Thank you.

Cool 😎

And I felt my mind split open……

Hey, that's great man.

Great Song 🎵 🎸

Bellissima versione, grandi❤❤

The bunch playing the VU in Vinyl should go on as a tribute band - sounded great!

My favourite band and song, really great job 😍👍

😑😑😑😑😑😑

I learned a lot here, excellent video. Well done with this.

I drummed for 25 years and after a 4 years hiatus I am trying to find my light and start again.Thank you, you helped me find myself again!

this so good <3

This sounds amazing thank you

So Moe wasn't a great drummer. But she was never meant to be. She was just meant to be there and serve the song. Even her "bad" drummer moments unintentionally aided the feel of the song.

Hey Cam do you know what amps the VU would’ve been using on the ‘69 self-titled record? I’ve heard both Sunn and Acoustic cited but I can’t find much beyond that

You’re such an inspiration for us: ua-cam.com/video/6BtCOaDwgVk/v-deo.htmlsi=FqJJou5D15YvzvKC

Yes! We see the VU banana album set(?) in the night table shelving!

Well I liked a lot your cover - one of the most beautiful songs ever -. Actually I guess the John's piano part was played on a 'prepared piano' (as in John Cage's canon about it) - don't know exactly which sticks, paper clips or nails etc were inserted among the piano wires. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Tomorrow%27s_Parties anyways your version is quiet amazing... my best regards

Excellent cover. The vocals are great.

Thanks for the preview of What's Going On

Wait wait - How did the video make Cam's Sterling taller than Cam's Lou?!

Fantastic. I suggest you listen to the Mick Ronson version, not because it is wonderful - tho it is - but because he had a fantastic ear, had played it as a Spider from Mars with David Bowie, and had spoken with Lou Reed from the Transformer sessions. Mick would have played it in the correct key and with the right chords and changes, and only those bits of added genius that was Ronno!

Thank you for this great doc!

Thx for this really great and touching docu!!!

04/7/24 9:30 pm. Love her so much. I truly look at her as best actress ever ♥️

are you guys a VU tribute band?

Any guesses on the exact kit she was playing? What kick drum size? Very informative video, thanks

Big Lou !!

Very fine indeed.

Amazing! Thank you! Loved the whole story. Mo rocking a Jets sweatshirt while performing was fantastic!

Where did you find this photo? It’s awesome

So good...very nicely done deep- dive into a band that i love dearly.

Great Video! Thanks! 'Heroin' was the second song I ever learnt on the drums. The first was 'Apache'. Still playing Velvet's songs 50 years later.

I never realized that Moe's bass drum was set sideways. Very cool

❤😮 INCENDIARY YOUR OBVIOUSLY GENIUS, INTELLECTUALLY MUSICALLY... forgive the all caps 😢 unfortunately for me, or others - suffice it to say - what a planet this could be, if we could all be as 😅 INCENDIARY?!!?!❤

This is fantastic ... What a gift to VU fans!!
