One of the greatest songs by Lou Reed, although the version that's on Loaded was heavily edited. Remastered versions have put this to right. Although it is odd to think that the album came out without Reed actually being in the band. He had left and decided to name it "Loaded", because he knew it would be an album "loaded" with hits.
I much prefer the live versions with him adlibbing, especially the one on Take no Prisoners. I found a good source of information about it here: alt77.com/best-version-sweet-jane-lou-reed
