I was right out of high school when I picked up The Velvet Underground Live Vol 1 1969 CD and followed up by buying Lou's solo albums New York; Coney Island Baby; and RocknRoll Animal (of course). My older bro then bought me VU Greatest hits for Xmas, 1993 and I soon realized anything Velvet Underground is a worthy purchase (Except Live at Cole Ave ... overall bad recordings). I watched the Todd Haynes Doc last year; and this 1986 South Bank video is definitely another good watch. Gotta luv John Cale pointing out: "We were trying to be revolutionary." Well, I believe him. VU my favorite rocknroll band. I tend to agree their influence is undeniable (rock, punk, alternative rock...). Love the 3rd album: Put jelly on your shoulder, baby ... Some Kinda' Love. The Previously Unreleased Recordings (released 1985) with the song Foggy Notion and the original version of Andy's Chest (Transformer) is the best 'album'' I have heard nobody ever talks about. Velvet's were so much more than free form noise (although Lou was inspired by Ornette Coleman ! ). Great variety. VU took pride in being a "live band."

Brilliant, a wonderful poet

Genius, pure music , truly one of the best ,,,ever.

1:13 - the hand is weird here...

'or medium sized'

Rattlesnakes is a great album to have on vinyl!

Dexys Mark II. The bridge between the 'Young Soul Rebels' and 'Too Rye Ay' versions of the band. Brilliant stuff.

The cameraman was obviously a huge fan of The Fall - he really managed to capture the essence of Marcia Schofield's knockers with virtually every shot. 'Tits the North' more like. Not half

Imagine having Mo Tucker as your grandmother! 46:41

I was there! Brilliant year for reggae music. Those were the days, things have changed so much now, I remember camping with my van probably 50 yards from the stage, now u have to walk up to a mile to park up Great vibes

I could watch @4:10 to 4:15 a million times and @4:28 to 4:39. Too bad they don’t feature Duckie Simpson more. Dude cool af.

Wots with all the stupid little ponytails.?? Can someone enlighten me.?? 😂😂

What's the song at about 11 minutes in? It sounds like the Crystals and Then He Kissed Me. The words 'Uptown Party' appear but I can't find a track anywhere with this title.

Thanks for posting this one.

Mykal Rose and pumas are wonderfully authentic.

What a find! Thanks and best from the west of Oz

This was two performances of Performance. Two takes. Shaun's voice was "fked" from the night before. And the night before. And the...

The early 90s was an amazing time for music electronic music.. this track was always one that got played on radio on alternative dance stations. I was lucky enough to have a few college radio stations around my area who played a lot of industrial and trance.

I've just discovered Orange Juice so this was an absoloute joy. Thanks ever so much for preserving history.

I need more ducky Simpson.

Black Uhuru’s power lineup by far , with sly on drums and Robbie throwing down on the bass. Good days!

Gil use to sing this to me at home and at gigs before the band came on stage. One of my favorite songs and his too.

McGhee is a complete knob!

dying to get out on the dance floor, i waited long enough i can't wait no more!

brilliant great band great record great year

Mr Chinn, I can see the shape you’re in. 💃

OMG, there's some kids having fun, better stamp that out before it gets out of hand.

Where do I recognise the drummer from?

Holy crap. The sound and video quality are amazing - and the performance is so lively and vibrant. That rendition of “Hands Off, She’s Mine” is epic. I’m so thankful that you posted this!

Happy birthday Rankin Roger! RIP. Forever in our hearts!

What's not to love here? Met them when they stopped fror an ice cream in my village on the way back to Brum at the end of a UK tour in 1980. Saw them live 18 months ago & STILL had it, including the spirit of those no longer with them. Old pal that came with me hadn't really heard them before, said they massively exceeded expectations - Well of course they did ❤ Love & Unity personified... 🥰😍🤩😘

*OOOOOWWWWWW*

what a magic group x

OUTSTANDING!!!!! WHAT A GEM!!! THANKS A MILLION!!!!!

What this docu LEAVES OUT is that Warhol did not like or even rate Lou Reed and his massive ego. He went for Nico as the icon for the band. Reed, consumed with jealousy, made sure this did not happen and slowly but surely he squeezed Nico from the limelight..and then eventually from the band.

Underrated band. Favourite band from early 90s. Remember watching this and being stopped in my tracks. Remember them doing “Do it Better” on this programme as well. Then they went shopping in Joe Bloggs!
