Apparently it's a cover of the Velvet Underground song

Bluray of the concert film only comes with a box set collection which contains a t-shirt, some stickers, a face mask and a torch?!?

I liked it but I didn't love it, it doesn't sound Detroit enough, it's not dirty at all.

Alice's voice is good and Bonamassa plays a nice solo but the song is utterly forgettable. It's not catchy in the slightest.

I'm not, and have never been, a Lou Reed fan so there is also that. Based on this song alone the pre-order has been put on hold, I'll wait to hear some of the non-cover songs on the album to see what we're getting before deciding.

I didn't even know it was a cover version. Certainly i saw Reed had written it but presumed it was just for this record.

We'll if I were being pedantic it was on velvet underground album Loaded (1970)...

Ha!

You got a long way to go before you can call yourself 'pedantic', young sir

Us old hands at being pedantic know that not only do you need to mention that the original version was on the 1970 album entitled 'Loaded', but you also need to put a link so that the casual listener can hear what the original version sounded like!

I want the blu-ray but I certainly don't want to pay about 50 notes for it. I thought it was bad having to previously pay around 25 quid for the Wacken cd/blu-ray set but that's got nothing on this.
