THE BEST version is from Lou's record "Take No Prisoners."
True, the Hunter/Wagner guitar opener on the other live version is classic but the performance following it lacks lust.

Instead, do yourself a favor.

I saw the late Lou Reed in 1996 and it was probably the best concert I was ever at.  He started the show with Sweet Jane which set the tempo for the next two hours.  Will never forget it  - what an opening.

Great story.  This is the kind of thing that makes this message board special.  Not, as some posters seem to believe, comments expressing how much a particular song makes them want to barf, push the PSD button, or otherwise express their derision.  Thanks coloradojohn!

I was in another room when the outro kicked in—I was wondering when Lou had followed Elvis out to a living death in Vegas. Never heard that before and I really don't have to hear it again fer a whiles.

You know how some songs can trigger a vivid memory? This song does that for me. I can picture exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I heard this song. I don't know the date exactly, but it was >40 yrs ago, the album was rather new, and I was an early teen. At that age of course I thought I knew everything; I think this song imprinted the memory because it was so different from what I *had* thought was "good music". Eye opening and transformative, it'll always be a 10 in my book.

Oh come on. Nobody has any grounds to complain about either one.  VU scored an instant classic, and CJ did a brilliant cover.  Plenty of bad music out there to put the artistry of both in proper perspective.

A "classic" (quotation marks indicating a particularly nasty and frowned upon word in my books). This is far from the Velvet's peak... (And don't get me started again on the appaling, bragging cliche of the "Rock 'N' Roll Animal" live album... Jeez.
 
Play more off the debut album or the third... Even better, if RP is feeling courageous, they could spin some "White Light/White Heat"!!! 'Sister Ray' maybe? Ha!

I also can not aclimate myself to Lou Reed... try as I might. I even experienced him in concert in the 70's. As Lou said in his AOL Sweet Jane video: "You are all probably wondering how I based a career on just four chords". However, "Sweet Jane" is an all time favorate song no matter who covers it..... even Mr Reed.

Guitar solo may be great on the live version, but Lou's little vocal noodlings on this version can't be beat. "just watch me now", .. "villains always blink their eyes, ooh!" I love it.

It may be lyrical genius, but I don't tend to listen to lyrics if I can't make it past the song itself. I realize my dislike for Lou Reed may be unfathomable to some of you, but before anyone jumps on me and tells me how I just don't "get" it, or I have no taste, or a low IQ, let me toss out this pre-emptive strike: Pound sand.
While I completely disagree with you and don't understand how you can't like Lou Reed, I really like your pre-emptive strike.

Second song I ever learned to play on my guitar! (First was Fiddler's Green by The Tragically Hip.)

Well, someone's got to go against the tide. Never have liked this song, any version, and never have liked any of Mr. Reed's other work either...No siree, Bob.

It just doesn't get any better than this.
