"I'm Waiting for the Man" is a song past American stone band the Velvet Cloak-and-dagger. Written past Lou Reed, it was first released on their 1967 debut album, The Velvet Secret & Nico. The lyrics describe a man'southward efforts to obtain heroin in Harlem.

In various reviews, it is described as "tough garage stone", "proto-punk classic", and "one of the best classic rock songs", with renditions by a number of artists.

Recording [edit]

Along with "Venus in Furs" and "Heroin", "I'm Waiting for the Man" was recorded in May 1966 at TTG Studios while the ring was staying in Hollywood.[1] It has been musically described as garage rock,[2] proto-punk,[3] and hard stone.[4] The lyrics describe a homo'southward efforts to obtain heroin.[5] [6]

Reception and legacy [edit]

In a song review for AllMusic, Dave Thompson called information technology "one of the all-time archetype rock songs... Over chunky guitar, clunking piano, and jackhammer drums, Reed half-sings, half-intones what he would in one case draw every bit a love song about a human being and the subway."[7] He notes that it has been recorded by numerous artists, including "David Bowie and the Stooges [who] both cut fascinating takes on the song".[seven] Each member of the Velvet Underground has performed the song based on their own interpretations.[seven]

In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song at number 159 on its listing of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension.[3] It was moved to number 161 in 2010,[5] and finally re-ranked at number 81 in 2021.[8] The magazine noted:

Originally a rootsy Dylan hommage, the vocal evolved into a proto-punk classic steeped in New York dust. The Velvets mixed R&B rhythm-guitar workout, blues-piano stomp and dreamy art drone, as Reed deadpans a story about scoring $26 worth of heroin in Harlem. "Everything near that song holds true," said Reed, "except the toll."[3]

In 2012, Consequence of Audio included it in their list of the 100 greatest top songs of all time, ranking it number 65.[nine] In lists ranking the greatest songs from the 1960s, NME ranked it number 6,[10] while Pitchfork placed it at number 27.[xi] Based on the vocal's appearances in professional rankings and listings, the aggregate website Acclaimed Music lists "I'1000 Waiting for the Man" as the 8th most acclaimed vocal of 1969, the 39th about acclaimed vocal of the 1960s and the 105th most acclaimed song in history.[12] In 2012, Paste ranked the song number three on their list of the 20 greatest Velvet Hugger-mugger songs,[13] and in 2021, The Guardian placed the song at number 9 on their listing of the 30 greatest Velvet Underground songs.[fourteen]

David Bowie [edit]

In December 1966, David Bowie'south director, Kenneth Pitt, acquired an acetate of the then-unreleased The Velvet Hole-and-corner & Nico and presented it to Bowie. Upon hearing "I'm Waiting for the Man", he went to his band at the time, the Buzz, and told them they were going to learn it: "Nosotros learned 'Waiting for the Man' right so and there and we were playing it on stage inside a week." He later recalled in an 2003 interview with Vanity Off-white: "Amusingly, not just was I to cover a Velvets song earlier anyone else in the world, I actually did it before the anthology came out. Now that'due south the essence of Mod."[16] [17] [a]

Bowie outset attempted to record "I'm Waiting for the Man" in the studio during the sessions for his 1967 debut album, and later on properly recorded information technology with another ring, the Riot Team, on April 5, 1967. In his book Insubordinate Rebel, Chris O'Leary notes the subpar quality of the recording, writing that information technology "sounded equally if they were making practice with what they'd found in a school music room."[17] This version later appeared on the Riot Squad compilations The Last Chapter: Mods & Sods (2012) and The Toy Soldier EP.[sixteen] In this version, Bowie misinterpreted the song'due south subject thing, containing the line "I'm just looking for a skillful friendly backside" instead of "I'm merely looking for a honey, dearest friend of mine". Tony Visconti later told biographer Nicholas Pegg: "A very young David Bowie didn't yet know that 'the man' in Harlem parlance meant the drug dealer. So he naturally assumed information technology was a gay see involving money."[16]

Bowie performed "I'm Waiting for the Homo", often titled equally "Waiting for the Human", for BBC radio shows in 1972 (one recording appearing on 2000's Bowie at the Beeb) and frequently on the Ziggy Stardust Tour (one recording appearing on 1994's Santa Monica '72). He would farther perform it on the 1976 Isolar Tour and the 1990 Sound+Vision Bout. While his 1967 recording followed Reed's original chord structure, Bowie made subtle changes to his alive performances. He performed the vocal with Reed at his 50th birthday bash in 1997.[xvi] [17] David Buckley writes that Bowie's 1977 song "'Heroes'" was influenced past Reed's writing.[21]
