Which one or two should I grab?

EDIT: picked KCRW show because it was small and I figured it would sound good. Don't feel like combing through the rest for a good one, but I'm curious. Someone else do the homework. Thanks.

WELL ISN'T THAT CONVENIENT. Sheesh, you're the Pep Guardiola of torrents: you want to arrive to a team that's already qualified to the Champions League, that's already won titles, that already works and just needs a little bit of tweaking to ultra-shine and give you all the glory. You BUM! :D

My favorite The The era is the Dusk/Hanky Panky years, if that helps.

There's glory to be had in this thread? What's it feel like? As orgasmic as I imagine?

Man, when I see the glory, I ain't gotta worry.

Not really. I'm familiar with Matt's stuff. I just meant combing through 17 torrents for one or two that feature a good recording of a good performance just can't be squeezed into my calendar at the moment.

I've always wondered (I mean, between doing others things): how many of these links do you download and at least sample?

I have to listen to this shit?

If not you, then who? Really, I'd like to meet this person.

'I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. 'Of course you don't — till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!"'
'But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument",' Alice objected.
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

You know, man, when I was a young man in high school
You believe it or not, that I wanted to play football for the coach
All those older guys, they said he was mean and cruel
But you know, I wanted to play football for the coach

They said I was to little too light weight to play line-back
So I say I'm playing right-in
Wanted to play football for the coach

Cause, you know some day, man, you gotta stand up straight
Unless you're gonna fall
Then you're gonna die
And the straightest dude I ever knew
Was standing right for me, all the time
So I had to play football for the coach
And I wanted to play football for the coach

When you're all alone and lonely in your midnight hour
And you find that your soul, it has been up for sale

And you getting to think about all the things you done
And you getting to hate just about everything

But remember the princess who lived on the hill
Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong
And right now she just might come shining through
and the glory of love, glory of love
Glory of love, just might come through

And all your two-bit friends have gone and ripped you off
They're talking behind your back saying, man
you are never going to be a human being
And you start thinking again
About all those things that you've done
And who it was and what it was
And all the different things you made every different scene

Ah, but remember that the city is a funny place
Something like a circus or a sewer
And just remember, different people have peculiar tastes
And the
Glory of love, the glory of love
The glory of love, might see you through

Yeah, but now, now
Glory of love, the glory of love
The glory of love, might see you through
Glory of love, ah, huh, huh, the glory of love
Glory of love, glory of love
Glory of love, now, glory of love, now
Glory of love, now, now, now, glory of love
Glory of love, give it to me now, glory of love see you through

Oh, my Coney Island baby, now
(I'm a Coney Island baby, now)

I'd like to send this one out for Lou and Rachel
And all the kids and P.S. 192
Coney Island Baby...
Man, I swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you

Did Velvet Underground write that song or was it a cover? What VU* album is it on? Or was it just a b-side to one of their singles?

*-"VU" is short for "Velvet Underground" in case you didn't know. Fun fact: I think I once heard the band name came from the smooth ride the New York subways offer. I have no idea what else it could mean.

To quote Elvis in Jailhouse Rock, "Lady, I don't know what the hell you talkin' about!". Except I do, but I can't tell if you're being facetious or what the hell indeed, so I'll just state the facts: it's a Reed original from Coney Island Baby (whodathunk!). In one of those interviews-cum-bloodbaths between Lou and Lester Bangs, after Metal Machine Music and before Coney Island Baby came out, Reed said this about the latter:

Actually, I don't think the Harptones did "Glory Of Love", but they might as well have; the tune dates back to 1936. Lou may have been thinking of The Five Keys' version, from 1951... Then again, I wouldn't want to second-guess the guy, since, like Laura Nyro, he knew his doo-wop shit — it was him who introduced me to the extraordinary The Paragons Meet The Jesters album. And "Coney Island Baby" itself is named after the even older "Goodbye, My Coney Island Baby" song, which every barbershop quartet ever has sung (and if they haven't, they're mooks).

The Velvet Underground did NOT do covers. Well, almost. Apparently, in the early days, pre-Warhol, they performed Jimmy Reed's "Bright Lights, Big City" (no recordings exist). And they kinda threw in some "Day Tripper" while rehearsing at The Factory in January 1966. References are a different thing: the most well-known is of course the "There She Goes Again" riff, lifted from Marvin Gaye's "Hitch Hike", but here's where I stop; I've run outta time already and I even missed the last subway train home. This is all your fault!

I was 100% joking. Sorry you missed your ride.

Although I'm fully aware of everything Lou did musically, I don't think I've read that interview which I'm gonna check out now, so you didn't entirely waste your time.

Me too, and I hope she looks like this:
