Radiant Witch Face Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 still not over this. I've been listening to his stuff a lot since he died. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Just checked out the VU DVD reunion from the library --- I always heard pretty negative things about this release, so I never bother to listen or watch it --- it's enjoyable, though. Flat, a bit, yes - but it's kinda cool to see them all on stage together. I think Sterling plays pretty good, too - sad he would be dead a couple of years later. Cale does seem the most detached.

Moss Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I have actually been pretty surprised and gratified by the level of attention Lou Reed's death has gotten. I guess I thought he was a bit more underground and obscure than he really was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I thought he was a bit more underground and obscure than he really was.Look at the attention that Alex Chilton got a few years ago and he was WAY more obscure than Lou Reed who had hit singles,tons of albums, and lead one of the most important groups of the 60s and 70s. He was hardly underground and not at all obscure, particularly compared to Alex Chilton. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I guess this is where we post stuff about VU. http://www.mojo4music.com/17746/the-velvet-underground-45th-anniversary-super-deluxe-edition/ Looks like a nice reissue box of my favorite VU record.

LouieB Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I see this kind of thing all the time that I want. Mosaic just came out with the complete Dial Records sessions which is 9 CDs including the Charlie Parker, which I have, but it seems like I need this so badly. So I need this VU too, but maybe not. Oh and AMF and the Basement Tapes and when I see some of the year end best of box sets in the papers, etc. etc. etc. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
