I'd imagine it could be even better than the real thing. (if they exist I'll book 'em).

I'm interested in a LIVE act, (that plays in the U.S.)
as opposed to recordings. Thanks though...

There was a Portland, OR VU cover band called Foggy Notion. Not sure if they're still around.

Yup, it was a lovely video. So strange having such a 'cold' original get a 'warm' treatment.

omg that video

xp i don't think of the original as being cold at all! it's one of the most sincere and beautiful and warm-hearted songs of all time imo

Guess I'm just thinking of the contrast with Nico's voice..

speaking of VU tributes, this new one is pretty elaborate

something kind of funny about painstakingly re-creating this stuff, but it does sound pretty good

WOW <3

that was indeed a kidz bop, kinda complex harmonizing!

(The teacher flubbed one of the chords surprisingly.)

there are flaws in the anotherVu presentation, in that the Cale guy should not play guitar, only viola, bass and keybs, and the Sterl guy should also have a stringy unwashed mop, not curly, and should alternate between guitar and bass…

Man that “Ride Into the Sun” cover has such snap and swagger to it, sounds better than the Velvets even
