- John Cale and Lou Reed perform two songs on Sunday Night (later called "Night Music") show #120 in 1989.
1. "You Got The Style It Takes" (00:00)
2. "Nobody But You" (03:17)
it is what it is, two old friends/rivals, 25+ years later, hangin out one more time. enjoy this everybody, 'cause this won't ever happen again!. Lou is gone, but, what a ride it was!
george zeman .... I have been tremendously moved by first the velvet, then Lou continuing his art, w/ experimentation. no album ever taking on a continuous similarity, it was always something new. Lou created/wrote BEaUTIFUL things that I'll never forget. not to mention he didn't give a fuck, if he had something to say, it came rt. out.... will never forget RIP good man.
One word, wonderful
Totally as The great Orson Welles.put it 'Thats Sadly not with us Anymore'!!..[@#'Dick Cavett.''I met Hitler once"😂
These songs will live forever. They will return. Music is just taking a break.
Nice to see Lou really playing guitar here
Loved this album, what a great pair of talents.
Still love this album. I've been listening to it a lot lately whilst cataclysmically drunk.
@@frankboothsedated.7054 now that's how you do it
My favourite album of all the time❤️
The best of the kind! After that, only Brian Eno. 🎉
Man, I miss Lou. Songs for Drella was an interesting album, John Cale , what a voice.
Me too..
Lou was the one with the voice and it was more than just 'interesting'
@@TheMLMGold John had a great voice too
@@j.c7719 there would be no Velvets, or could they be as good without John Cale? I think not. Miss ya Lou, my favorite storyteller.
@@TheMLMGold no, cale has the better voice.
Saw Mr Cale doing a different version of this in Paris a couple of weeks ago. A genius.
I was fortunate - and privileged - to have been able to see them perform Songs for Drella at the BAM. RIP, Lou and Andy.
Me too. You could feel something special was happening. Their hearts overcame their differences. On the way home I said the velvets could return and they did. Saw them at Wembley Arena and Glastonbury.
The best songwriters forever!
I don't care what anybody says? these 2 outstanding fantastic gifted musicians, are legends. Each to their own, but the whole album is certainly worth a listen.
Its worth more than a listen Kieth? Drella is a minor masterpiece. Its a heartfelt tribute to the man who made it all possible.
@@strexus precisely... I don't think anyone ever said it wasn't that good. It's objectively an artistic triumph.
What do you mean? who disagrees?
You make it sound like these 2 are widely hated, which they’re not lol
2 legends of music.. I was lucky enough to see Lou Reed live about a year before he died.. I would love to see John Cale... I wish I could have seen the velvets but I was only a kid in their heyday
John is currently touring..new album in Jan 2023..I saw him a few days ago in York UK. Fantastic evening
love john's shirt !!
Brings back good memories of 2 of the most overlooked artists of out times.
Ok I don't think Lou Reed is overlooked since he's so recognized for fronting velvet underground
I definitely did not over look Lou’s career and music. But around here, I was the only one.
They were not overlooked....
They had great Success in their Time.
I love this Album ,,Songs for Drella!! The Best for ever!! Say thank you!!😎 Now I'm 63!! I love ist for ever!!🤩
I really like John Cale...never followed him til today. He's got a very unique voice, and it is pleasant to listen to. Thanks for sharing
He doesn’t have a unique voice: the world is full of people who can’t sing. Voices like this are only (or used to be) relatively rare in professional pop music. They’re extremely common among the population at large. Until Reed began to sing along at the end, this seemed a fairly innocuous deadpan spoof of a child’s or idiot’s idea of a song, but when Reed joined, the horrendously out-of-tune combination of voices turned the thing into something decidedly more sinister. EDIT: Just to be clear: I stopped listening at 3:10, so the above remarks apply only to the first number.
@@herbertwells8757 Cale's unique....(and he sings it this way to "play" Warhol.) Are You familiar with Cale's 70's output? End of...
@@herbertwells8757 Listen to the album "Fear" and then tell me if Cale "can't sing"
@@herbertwells8757 only idiot around here is you, unable or unwilling to recognize true talent. Cale's voice is far richer than Reed's ever was. I wouldn't want to know how Reed would sing Hallelujah, possibly he would sound pretty flat. As for sinister, take this, and show me anything Reed has done that comes close: ua-cam.com/video/GJ6rSrYSAbg/v-deo.html
@@herbertwells8757You fool
"Style It takes", in my opinion, is the best song in the album!
It's the most John Cale song, and there is just something unique about the way he writes and sings.
@@davidsigalow7349 I like also his version of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen...I think that after Jeff Buckley's is the best version
There are the great ... and there are the greatest... (for me)
So spare & simple & disarmingly honest... I've loved this music, & been challenged by it, for almost 30 years now.
🧛🏻♂️👸🏼
Stupendi!!!!! Mi fanno ritenere di essere nata in quegli anni!!!!! Questa è musica, ma sempre grande indimenticabile Lou Reed❤❤❤❤❤
1989 is lost into mist of time
Maravillosas canciones, únicas , irrepetibles, de esos álbumes que hay que escuchar alguna vez en la vida.
Great era for both artists. In their prime once again
What a style!
These two songs are so well done and it hurts to think that nearly all the so called music lovers of the world will never hear either. They both "have the style it takes." Lou Reed has to be one of the most underrated musicians. Only two of his song are super hits, but he makes everything he touches worth hearing. His voice is not very good, but it has style and his technique makes me think I can believe every word he sings. And John Cale - I hardly know anything of him, besides this song. But he does it so well, that I wish he was better known.
He is better known than what you think. His career has just carried on from whence he left VU. Whereas Lou's has faltered . . .
I think you underestimate how well both these artists are known,no they are not micheal jackson numbers,but,thats not what these guys were all about,i hope that you get that.....
I'm not sure why you think others haven't heard Cale and Reed. Do you just sort of randomly decide things and then impose them on the rest of the world?
Lou is one of the most underrated musicians? Trust me, he's rated.
These two are rated where it matters most...their fellow musicians and the scores of bands, artists, and yes, genres, that never would have developed without them.
miss lou everyday
I love this. Always have always will. John gets it in and Lou is ever Lou.
What a Gem here. I have the whole Record somewhere under my Tapes. Lou was such a great Lyricist. A Poet with a Guitar. And John Cale was so innovative all these Years. I like his Solo Records too. The best Avantgarde Rock ever.
Best album ever... and magic and loss
Good Choice. Magic and Loss is really a great Album - I love Berlin too and Transformer and and....
:-)
Great record that functions as a deep,scholarly relevant biography of warhol and the pop art nyc factory scene. Intellectually and emotionally compelling, especially when Cale does the Warhol voice.
Lou's wonderful mullet.
this is just great
Saw Lou perform this in Mpls in the mid 90s. Not the song, his first set was the entire record Songs for Drella.
Was one of those shows that spoke to you.
Left the theater thinking I memorized every song.
Was supposed to see him at Coachella but he was ill. Nick Cage with Grinderman filled in. Honey Bee Let's Go to Mars live was mind boggling.
This is incredible
Love Songs for Drella album. Love Cale’s voice. ❤
Wonderful
Beautiful
what a partnership. looks like they are on the set of a 90s sitcom lol. But really, People want to see musicians struggle, I think it's what makes their lives and musicianship interesting and rewarding. i get chills when cale sings the lyric about the velvet underground. I know the songs are about Warhol, can't help but think some of the lyrics are directed at each other though
I think the song is about the first spark of friendship between Andy and the VU.
Wonderful die beiden! 🎸❤️🎶👍🎸
Excellent
...
Wow!
The lyrics are great.
genios....!!!!
Cale is just wonderful here and Lou seems like he is actually enjoying playing.
Love the Drella album.
Miss Andy and Lou everyday ❤
Godbless John ❤
Early '89, a fried asked if I had plans for the weekend. I asked why. He said "I have an extra ticket for Lou Reed and John Cale at St Anne's Church."
I liked it.
Talento grande talento? Obrigado LOU 🙏
Love you Lou your the man,youe one cool😎😎😎dude,👏👏👍👌✌💖😇😎
We named our cat SAM from a song on the album.
Not bad for a couple of guys who couldn’t stand each other.
Miss you Lou
Lou Reed.il Rock
Drella; wonderful LP
Cool as.....
Filmed between the studio album and the (IMHO way better) live concert film.
songs for drella is such a good album
3:14 LOU
~He reminds me a little like Lenard Cohen....
"all those downtown 'macho-painters' are just alcoholic"
whops, that's from another song from this album, sorry.
Dracula + Cinderella = Drella. Songs for Drella. Nicknames for Andy Warhola. Tribute Album.
I still prefer John's version of Hallelujah. Not saying it's better than Jeff Buckley's or Rufus Wainwright's, it's just me.
0:01 - why is his grin so cute?
lyrically this sounds like 'tonite' by michael nesmith
"sunday morning" ;-)
The album in question is SONGS OF DRUELLA
*for
*Drella
John Cale looks like Nic Cage here
wow hold on im hearing some very very familar progressions and melodies here??? someone help me out
I hear a Smiths melody in there but cant remember the track.
Paint a Vulgar Picture
@@MyZampetta lol.
@@II-xl7lj ?
Neck curtain Lou
After they finish "Songs to Drella", they promise never more play together. Its curious that they play in this late show
Marcos Valenga this is 1989 , Stella hadn't even been released yet (1990) this was a promo piece.
After this album they reformed Velvet Underground.
Lou looks a bit like Richard Ramirez???
kek
Hate this era Lou. But John keeps it going
Could it be just my imagination, or does John look as if he's staring daggers at Lou through much of this?
Your imagination
Concentred they are ...
John always looks like he's staring daggers through Lou. Clash of the egos. Price of geniuses collaborating.
Like, "Okay, Lou. I'll do it your way."
Check out Wrong Way Up by Eno/Cale...there are daggers on the cover so ya never know!
Now I need to listen to Louis Armstrong to unhear this crap. How exciting I thought Lou Reed was when I was a teen - for the requisite month. The rock era has so little worthy of historical mention. The really good music in 1950s and '60s was almost all Black or Black-derivative. Eventually Black music collapsed with the urban rot that brought it down.
Lou stole the show here
It's not a competition, is that kind of morronic mentality that made the VU split up in the first place.
Lou stole the show here ... indeedy deed!!! 😉
I actually prefer the first song sung by John Cale.
I do not like Cale's voice at all; it has the flatness of an area from the other side of a grave.
Sounds like a TV commercial
Isn't Cale's vocal in the first song a bit flat?
all of the vocals are flat
cos they're mimicking Andy in that regard, they we're statements directly lifted from his Autobiography pretty much. I concede that Lou sang flat(ly) quite a lot.
stank
Never really ‘got’ Lou Reed. This doesn’t help!😂
Re: “These are two songs written by Lou and I [sic]”. Gag. That should be “written by Lou and ME”. When the pronoun is functioning as an object (here the object of the preposition “by”), the pronoun takes the object form, and it makes no difference whether the object is simple or compound. Would you say “written by I”? “Written by Lou and I” is equally wrong, equally jarring to anyone with an ear, and equally perverse and sickeningly affected.
Quite frankly an irrelevant and pedantic comment. You wouldn't just be nitpicking to find fault without any substantive reasoning or real evidence now wouldya'?
It's a shame some folks can't just appreciate a piece of art without criticizing something that has nothing to do with the art being presented. A grammar lesson for a Lou Reed performance, is this "fan" even awake?
Herbert Wells, you ought to get rid of that butt plug. It might relieve the pressure, and prevent you spewing so much shit.
Ce n'est pas grave...
@Herbert Wells
You are right, it ìs a grammatical mistake to say ‘I’ here. Most often the mistake is the other way around, when someone would say, “Lou and me went to the theater,” when it should obviously be, “Lou and I went to the theater.”
One could indeed wonder whether to point this mistake out here is the right place to be. I think it is, though, because Cale is known for his arrogance; it serves the bastard well … 😉
dude, not good, you could put kermit the frog in there, it would sound better, or the same
Dipshit
Boooring...
Go look for something interesting then.
You are boring
The mating call of the imbecile.
Might have been good in 1967. But in 1989 it just sounds shit. Sorry, but it just does.
1989 - Milli Vanilli wins a Grammy....
Stuff that was good in 1967 will still be good in 2067.
it's not supposed to be perfect or even "tight" it's derivative velvet underground.
