| Video Discription | John Cale Band with Maureen “Moe” Tucker perform “I’m Waiting for The Man” at the “GRAMMY Salute To Music Legends 2017™.” John Cale and Maureen “Moe” Tucker are members of the Velvet Underground, one of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award honorees. The Velvet Underground are now recognized as one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Comprising Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Maureen “Moe” Tucker, the band was ahead of their time, both visually and sonically. Often dubbed the quintessential proto-punk band, they have been continually cited as the benchmark for countless modern-rock movements over the past 50 years. The Velvet Underground’s seminal 1967 debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico, was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 2008.
