This is the first song I ever learned to play. Of course it's The Velvet Underground; this is me we're talking about.
My guitar has intonation issues. It's twice as old as I am; give it a break.

What I like about the '69 Live version is the combination of beauty and roughness. The lack of outright sweetness is part of that. Makes it more honest. May have been Lou's favorite cover of it, but it is still a cover. I gotta go for the originals. In fact, I think about the only cover of anything I like better than the original is The Beatles playing Twist and Shout.
'69 Live was one of two albums that fundamentally changed my understanding of music. I literally wore out my CD player with that one when I was like 14.
