+Loquendo Lauta Lou & Lu C:

+Loquendo Lauta Great to listen to the best combo of an outstanding song:)

RIP grupo punk español de los 80s !

:( :(

Busserl

For sure!

ever!

yeah

LOL

Perfect timing to hear this~

I On Dec.26Th,1979,When I Was 19 Years Old,I Was Fortunate To See Lou Reed At The Legendary Bottom Line In New York City's Greenwich Village On West Forth Street, It Was Lou's Favorite Venue To Play In NYC. It Only Held 400 People, Not A Bad Seat In The House! He Put On A Great Show That Rolling Stone Profiled On It's Concert Pages. I Am 62 Now, It One Of My Favorite Memories. When Someone Like Luciano Pavarotti Wants To Sing Your Song and Sing It With You, That Says So Much. Grace and Peace Ralph In CT

Reed probably knew he was dying and this would be the most beautiful rendition of his song he would hear before his death.

I loved Lou, the Velvet and Pavoretti, greatest tenor ever. But this combination...if well intended...really???

😂😂😂

Pavarotti: "holy shit i'm singing with Lou Reed WTF"

Or maybe it's Pavarotti: "What's a Lou Reed?" Either way.

lol

1:25 what this face is saying

EXACTLY what I thought.

your picture too

Bruthole It made me cry.

Bruthole It made me cry.

Exactly.

Agree 👍 Real as it Gets

It looks like he can’t believe it 😂 it’s so beautyfully bizarre…

Reed's amused by Pavarotti singing a bar late (he stretched 'day' for 3 beats longer) for a bit and thus struggling to fit the words into the next phrase, but at the same time equally as impressed how he managed to get out of it without letting anybody know something was wrong.

they are nowadays busy defending Israel or making the same phony post about Ukraine

Tears me up

Five friends-- very different and very respectful of one another and embodying the moment: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iauZp82Gyc2lmqM.html

Heehee. Yes. Thank you, exactly what I was thinking.

Yup, it's amazing, even though the two styles don't really click

MaximumMadnessStixon when Pavaratti sings the first chorus lou reed's face kinda says the same thing, he looks like "how the fuck did I manage this?"

Couldn't have said it better myself.

mozart and his mates must be thinking "We started something"

+Dusty Rhodes two completely different contrasting performances...both in service to the lyric, to the art of music...symphonic and tremendous! the audience certainly appreciated it!

+Lady BlackStardust Not the most unlikely duo ever. There's a video of Pavarotti singing along with James Brown.

I'm Dusty Rhodes, I changed to Lady BlackStardust. That Pavarotti, he sure got around. But not as much as Lou! It must have been thrilling for each one to perform with the other.

Lady BlackstarDust The recent Lady Ga Ga and Tony Bennett or David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

Pavarotti with Spice Girls is even weirder

My thoughts exactly! The combo of sincerity and a Joycean focus on the beautiful minutiae of life makes a masterpiece indeed! Not to mention the juxtaposition of voices in this performance. Brought it out to the fullest!

Yes

certainly not forgotten

Croatia, nice!

Then I have a chance of being the best singer.

Critics on this one? It's like two totally different things lol he's a fkn opera singer preforming with Lou Reed. Just enjoy the absurdity = )

one of the best facial expressions i've seen on anybody!

He's amused by Pavarotti singing a bar late (he stretched 'day' for 3 beats longer) for a bit and thus struggling to fit the words into the next phrase, but at the same time equally as impressed how he managed to get out of it without letting anybody know something was wrong.

It's extremely insane and extremely epic at the same time! Totally off the grid and beautiful! I'm always looking for interesting and unusual music.

I’m so glad you are honest in your opinion this version kills this song IMO this is about a sad lonely person singing about a day in his life But this version sounds like a bunch of football hooligans especially the end of the song I know I’ll get a lot of criticism for this but who cares

I thought it actually had real comic value which made it that much better😂🤣

I agree, I was expecting Pavarotti to sing on his own and the contrast between the two was not a good mix. Lou in his leather and Lucy in a tux, I wouldn’t have been surprised if Lou had cracked up after the first chorus. Ah well made me smile as well.

Lou sounds off key.

+Ricky Rhoades For all the silly, insulting, brain dead, mean handed comments I read on youtube, yours says exactly what I was thinking. This is when youtube shines: when a glorious moment such as this can be preserved for you and I AND for generations to come. When later this year I purchase one of those 65" TVs this will be one of the first videos I watch. Peace.

+hump frog I do believe that is was, for Lou, surreal.

He looked humiliated AND amused, as his song got crucified by Pav/grotti!!!! NOT being a hater but masonic garped upto the hilts, ritual humiliations much for Lou!!!!!! Nutty performance and he knew it... poor bloke :((( RIP.

He was laughing because Luciano missed the first chorus

Nah man😂🤣😂 Lou has a few times bursted out laughing on stage for no real reason before I saw it in another live concert he did outta nowhere😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@Salamander676 yea I think he really does it when there’s a forgotten chorus like Pavarotti did here😂😂🤣

Right bro 👍

I mean it was for charity. Ricky Martin also sang at one of these fucking things. James Brown and Sting were there singing during the same charity event as Lou. I mean, fuckin hell, Pavorotti sang with the Spice Girls for charity. It wasn't supposed to be art so much as getting a wide variety of people together to raise money for people suffering from war and poverty. He did this charity event every year from the early 90s until his farewell tour and retirement. Context is king. Take it for what it is.

really? He was terribly off queue at times.

Yea , I think singing with Pav kind of pushed Lou to focus on Singing

the song is not about heroin to everybody... Only people that don't know about Lou and Andy and the underground would say something like that. just because this song was in a movie about heroin doesn't mean its only about heroin and everyone that hears it automatically thinks about heroin.

***** Lou was a natural born junkie. And if you only knew about opiate addiction, you would understand what this song is really about. Еspecially line "you just keep me hang it on". But you live the life of a respectable citizen and have no idea about what you try to argue. So, after all, what are you?

***** P.S. "They are just fucking narrow minded idiots" That was SO buddhist ))

Vojtas Vlčkes

Perfect Day IS about heroin you self fellating sea cucumbers. Lou was an addict in the early 70s and the song was written during his detox period.

***** Yep. Singer =/= Musician

all the vocal training doesnt make this type of singer versatile

Effervescence

Kaptivating Studios: Okay. I think that might cover it.

UniQueLyEviL some guy, very high and in his teens

Pavarotti was a canary. A wonderful voice. Lou was, however, one of the greats. Just different strokes, my friends

Well if you must know!

When I saw the thumbnail that was my exact thought lol. So random but I love it
