The Feelies have spent their entire career covering songs by the Velvet Underground and are masters of the VU sound. They toured Europe opening for Lou Reed in the 1980s, sharing meals, hanging out backstage, even joining him to perform some of his classic material.

On October 13, 2018 the Feelies were invited to perform Velvet Underground songs at Jersey City, NJ's White Eagle Hall as part of a traveling museum show of VU memorabilia.

18 classic Lou Reed songs includes VU standards like "Sweet Jane," "Rock & Roll" and "I'm Waiting for the Man" as well as rarely covered gems like "I Heard Her Call My Name" and "That's the Story of My Life."
