Sadly, outside of a handful of audience tapes of extremely variable fidelity,
no one thought to make a live recording of The Velvet Underground during their
1967-68 peak period with John Cale prodding Lou Reed into remarkable flights of
noise rock fancy. However, in 1969 a VU fan who was a recording engineer brought
a reel-to-reel tape machine to two shows the band played during an engagement at
a club in Dallas called The End of Cole Avenue; a few months later, the band
played The Matrix in San Francisco, where a tape machine had been installed into
the hall's sound system, and the band was allowed to record their set. Five
years later, long after The Velvet Underground had collapsed and Lou Reed's solo
career was on the rise, Mercury Records compiled highlights of the Dallas and
San Francisco tapes into a two-record set, 1969: Velvet Underground Live, and
it is without question the best (legally-released) document of this band's
considerable strengths as a live act. While they were a somewhat more sedate band
with Doug Yule on bass rather than Cale, they still had plenty of life left in
them at this stage of the game; there are few voyages into the sonic unknown
here, but Lou Reed and Sterling Morrison had matured into one of rock's most
potent guitar combinations, Maureen Tucker was as distinctive a drummer as even
picked up a pair of mallets, and with Doug Yule at her side they comprised a
truly superb rhythm section. Sounding tight, confident, and passionate on every
cut, this set finds the band visiting highlights from all four of their studio
albums, as well as a handful of previously unreleased numbers. From the
delicacy of "New Age" and "I'll Be Your Mirror" to the rave-up energy of "What
Goes On" and "White Light/White Heat," 1969: Velvet Underground Live captures
the many sides of their musical personality with commendable skill, and while
it isn't their best album, it's one of the best places for a beginner to
explore their body of work. (For CD release, Mercury has unfortunately divided
1969: Velvet Underground Live into two separate albums, 1969: Velvet Underground
Live, Vol. 1 and 1969: Velvet Underground Live, Vol. 2; thankfully, both are
budget priced, and bonus tracks have been added to each.)

Somehow I couldn't find Vol.1 in the record shop. They only had Vol.2. Now
whatcha think of that !? .) Enjoy. And if you happen to come along Vol.1, share
it.
