I love this answer! I remember exactly where I was and who I was with. 30 yrs later I’ve reconnected with the boy that introduced it to me. I used to “sneak” into the restaurant where he was a cook at a tiny old school diner and we had a summer of love. No messy breakups, we didn’t put a label on any of it. He moved and so did I. Now all these years later, we’re madly in love, but still won’t put a label on it!

My brother had just bought 2 tickets for the Lou Reed concert in Luxemburg when the doctors told him that he had endstage cancer. They gave him a few month, maybe just a few weeks. The concert was 8 months later. My brother said that he is not planning on dieing before seeing Lou Reed. He had a spontaneous remission of the cancer.The doctors called it a medical miracle when they discharged him from the hospital. My brother went to the Lou Reed concert as he had said. He even outlived Lou Reed by 2 years.

The first time I heard this song was on a Pan-Am 747 on a flight between London and Los Angeles in 1972. It has been stuck in my head ever since. You could rent headphones for $5 and there were 10 different channels of music to listen to. After about an hour, the music started all over again. I longed for this song every time. The song is timeless.

Clearly. Did you play it from his 1975 Live album? Did they listen to the other cuts? 'Heroin' or, 'Waiting on the Man' or 'Vicious'? If they reject them all, I'm afraid they have but one chance left. "What a perfect day". ...and if they continue to remain unmoved, you never really knew them at all.

Tell you what.... they sure as hell knew how to write some funky grooves back in the day. Been listening to this jam throughout my life on various classic rock stations, and my mind is STILL blown away by the way the stand up bass (at least, thats what it sounds like to me), the brushed snare, the slide guitar (cant tell if thats the bass sliding or a 6 string) & the kick drum all just quake when they all come together on the up/down beats. And... the sax. Smoove....like buttah.
