As part of July’s Days Off Festival in Paris, a well-known group of artists took the stage to perform a tribute to The Velvet Underground’s legendary 1967 debut record The Velvet Underground & Nico. Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood, Air’s Nicolas Godin, Soap&Skin, and The Hot Rats (Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and Supergrass’ Danny Goffey and Gaz Coombes) covered the album in its entirety for the aptly titled Velvet Underground Revisited concert. The group was joined by guest vocalist Feist for the album’s third track, “Femme Fatale,” which you can listen to below via TwentyFourBit.
