The Velvet Underground Bootleg Recording
There’s been quite few bootleg recordings of this gig in circulation. But this is the best one I’ve been able to find online. It does have the sound of a 46 year old Audio Cassette bootleg recording, captured by the Technology of the time. But it still sounds brilliant. Anything else just adds to the atmosphere of this gig.
The Velvet Underground delivery an amazing performance and even better sound. They give us a mix of rock n Roll with Tracks like “White Light, White heat” and Run Run Run” along with the anthems such as “I’m Set Free’ ,’Heroin’ and ‘Candy Says: ‘They also give us a raw rendition of ‘Move Right in’,. Am instrumental version of this song was put out on their ‘Odds n Sods’ compilation album. But this version was the raw version. With Moe tuckers amazing performance
You can hear the exited sounds of a mixed audience , including some now famous names. One of such was American Punk artist Jonathan Richman. Later famous for his punk band “the Modern Lovers”, , a young Richman recalls the show vividly. “sometimes you just plain couldn’t figure out where on the stage those strange sounds and harmonics were coming from, because of the eerie calm with which they played and improvised in front of you, and because every time they’d come to town they’d introduce at least one new song that would, for better or worse, sound like nothing else that had gone before in rock music.”
