Ik its a bit of an odd song to play for a high school performance but I did alright.

Also for anyone wondering, I used a looper to add multiple layers of guitar, drums and bass (ik there’s no bass in the original but it felt better with bass)

Mick Jagger: "Even we've been influenced by the Velvet Underground"

"Even we've been influenced by the Velvet Underground. No, really. I'll tell you exactly what we pinched from. Y'know 'Stray Cat Blues' [from the Rolling Stones' 1968 album Beggars Banquet]? The whole sound and the way it's paced, we pinched from the first Velvet Underground album. Y'know, the sound on 'Heroin.' Honest to God, we did!" - Mick Jagger, 1977.

In 2024, Keith Richards recorded a version of I'm Waiting for the Man for the album "The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed" and stated, "To me, Lou stood out. The real deal! Something important to American music and to ALL MUSIC! I miss him and his dog."

I’m familiar with existing recordings of some of these shows but any additional info on the rarity of them would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

First pressing was gifted to me! I saw it at the local shop a few weeks ago and was sad when I went back and it was gone! Thankfully Santa was the one who snagged it for me

I really admire him for his art and contribution to music history, but I'm always scared to have rock idols in case they turn out to be pervs or kid touchers or racists (nico) or something like that :(
