Stackpole- Keating '12 (2): Back yet again to the Velvet Underground

Back in '11 the Stackpole-Keating organization played the obvious choices off the VU's "Loaded": "Sweet Jane" and "Rock n' Roll".  Last year we dug one level deeper for a last-minute addition to the set: "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'".  I haven't heard a version I disliked (and that list includes Phish, so that's saying something, lord save my eternal soul). Certainly it was fun to put this version together.  Anyway, it's a sweet, languid time capsule of a song, and the cut (out of several on the album) that most benefited the from the songwriter (Lou Reed) having turfed it over to the new guy/ part time singer (Doug Yule).
