Its impossible to say what my definite favourite song of all time is. Depends on the day, and only then I could only narrow it down to a rough top fifty
But if I had to choose then Waiting for the Man by The Velvet Underground would be a strong contender. I’ve recently downloaded an alternative take of the song. Its good but doesn’t have the same impact of the one that appears on the album.
I’ve also got some live versions of the song that are slower and nowhere near as intense.
David Bowie covered it and it there’s nothing great about it at all.
Infact no version comes close to the one from the album. Its menacing and sounds like it could fall apart at any minute.
A great moment captured on tape.
