A long line of great bands have covered this song; R.E.M., Patti Smith, and Hole amongst them.
The latest band to take on Pale Blue Eyes is Deer Tick. Here the song is given an Americana treatment, with John J. McCauley's vocal approximating Tom Petty's and Ian O'Neil's guitar lead evoking phrasing of Jerry Garcia.
It is an excellent rendition and a reminder of just how vital Lou Reed's song remain, fifty years after they were first recorded.
