Great to hear so much Lou acoustic. He rarely did this on his albums apart from the brilliant song Billy on 'Sally can't dance'. Love Kid/Kids here. The Berlin version is brilliant but so hard to bear.
It is incredible that these demos has somehow surfaced, somewhere...
Please release this officially. This is SO cool!
ah the beauty of you tube is stumbling on gems such as this, a true diamond in the rough. Walk on the wild side is so much fun...
very good thank for doing this
Great. Sounds like Jonathan Richman !
Oh that s cool thanx for sharing man!!!
This is great. I appreciate it!
You have a new sub.
Que grande Pomelo!
Wow. That version of Kill Our Sons (instead of Kill Your Sons) was SO poetically powerful and the music was powerful. Lou does not have the range in his voice he wants, but the message is still just as powerful
every singer wants to sound like Adele or fucking Rodney Stewart.
But, Lou is not trying to be someone like Sinatra - Uptown Mafia Clone Wanna Be... which is the most likely reason why he became so popular in the first place!! Lou never had the backing of the New York Mob, nor did he have a music industry supporting him at all, unlike Sinatra. The Mob, most likely, bribed, or else, used Violence to get their man more airplay on American radio. Payola and corruption within the American and British music industry has always been part of the popular music genre. --- Lou is like the Lower-East-Side, or, downtown version of Sinatra, I think.
At least, Lour wrote all of his songs unlike Sinatra and Stewart. Wow, so many famous stars have had other people write songs for them to sing.
Ate Sempre Lou
ooooh Lou you are a nature son and you're so freee!
Thanks for posting this. Really interesting, I hope it's remastered and released in the future commercially. Reed left the VU after the Max's Kansas City residency on August 28, 1970 and other than an acoustic concert with John Cale and Nico in 1972, the players separated until the 1993 tour. Doug Yule would tour with Lou Reed and appeared on a couple of Reed's solo records.
Maybe it's better Reed saved these songs for after the Velvet Underground. The Velvets never had a decent producer, and Reed never worked with a professional recording team until David Bowie helped him.
Going Down, Wild Child made it to Reed's first solo album which was poorly engineered. Kill (your) Sons was recorded on Sally Can't Dance. Kid became the Kids and Looking Through the Eyes of Love was appended to How Do You Think it Feels, both on the Berlin LP. Bowie and Mick Ronson produced Transformer which used Lonely Saturday Night (Goodnight Ladies), I'm So Free, Hangin Round and Walk on the Wild Side, which he wrote for investors who intended to produce a Broadway play about the French Quarter, but it never opened.
Funny that Kill Our Sons was an antiwar song. His only other antiwar song was Billy.
Ha Ja

" The Velvets never had a decent producer"...Well the VU were produced by Tom Wilson on WL/WH and the VU and Nico ...One of the best producer in the 60's.
@@nicorigo5661 you saved me from saying it. Tom Wilson gets far too little respect- there's not many producers who'd have known what to do with White Light/White Heat.
Wild Child
Wow, what a find! Does anybody here know when this was recorded? Thank you for posting this! And Lou, we miss you so bad.........
late 71/early 72

“Kid” sounds a bit like the Post Man Pat theme song (in a good way)
The first thing that Lou Reed sang is "oh, I'm mother nature's son", and he said he hated The Beatles. Now, come on, Lou.
Do you have the chords to Kill Our Sons?! Thank you for posting this!!!
it's further down
@@XZYOE down where?
