- A wonderful assault on the ears, Lou Reed plays some delicious/vicious guitar here, from the gig apparently recorded through his amp. He really is on fire here !
From the Boston Tea Party gig, 15th March 1969.
Lou Reed: the father of alternative rock/noise rock.
as mellow as a razor blade
God i love the sound of feedback
Raw and loud
I could listen to that guitar screaming forever, to my ears, it's just like bees buzzing around flowers in a fair wind, on a warm summer day.
I love how Lou's guitar gets distorted all over the place near the end; like how the technology of the day couldn't even come close to keeping up with him. Truly a band ahead of their time in many ways.
He does that on purpose.
The Velvet Underground is essential for rock music like Dante is essential for the history of literature.
Inside Lou's amplifier....it's such a lovely place to be.
we used to cover this song in '69, it would freak people out, still get requests to do it 50 years later, but could never attain the Velvets sound
Admirable to even give this song a shot
Any recordings?
Over time, I have come to consider this rendition (with Lou's mold-shattering guitar solo) the single greatest recorded live musical performance of the rock era, if not of late 20th century music in all of its forms.
Okay, nothing probably ever topped John Coltrane's 1965 performances in Paris, but come on, this one is not *that* far behind.
Yes
I prefer the recording of the 12/12/68 show at the same venue.
@@gordonlyon2351 Wow, thanks for the recommendation, Gordon! I will give that show a much closer listen!
I was there in that crowd... or maybe half passed-out in the balcony!! ... what memories!!
Blasting this the evening of hearing about Lou's death. Thank you to whoever recorded this.
Pure noise pioners ,,love the sound , is infectious make you wanna play thie guitar Lou once said he play those days like Hendrix ,,it was something about feedback, and improvisation and madness over both talented persons
goodbye, Lou, and thank you for everything.
RIP Lou Reed
- this version is too short
Doug Yule was one hell of an organist. Lou Reed is KILLING it.
This is as raw as it gets
I will never forget the beat up Peel Slowly And See CD boxset I got from a local library during my college years. One very late night I finally got around to White Light/White Heat. I was kind of nervous to listen to 'Sister Ray' because I had no experience with anything noisy or experimental and didn't know what to expect. I hadn't even done drugs yet, let alone smoked a cigarette.
What was it like? It was fucking awesome.
This live version is getting me close to that same feeling again.
Sounds from another Planet.
Hard to believe this was 1969 lol.. That guitar
Thats when the rock was up there with the acid . . . . awesome and pretty damn scary . This band has really never been topped . . .
My speakers now need a shower. This was just so deliciously DIRTY. >sigh< RIP, Lou.
you still rock in 2017! love you lou
Unicornio. De acero
Up and up and up....then just fall off the edge. Back in 69 my mate said dangerous music man as he stumbled from the room. How I wish I were back there then. The best.
Lou Reed was one uncompromising individual.
This is the night, this is the song.
I gotta stop by here more often than every two years.
Lou, you helped shaping my world.
Thanks !
this is the best song ever, no other singer song comes close to this WOW
+Louie Gill Hello Louie - not many can hear Lou's voice as it is very low in the mix; well done to you sir :~)
yes I agree Louie, well said son
This version of the recording has the beginning of edited. Heroin preceds it -- they did heroin and then immediately did Sister Ray. This recording is from the box set, "Boston Tea Party 1969". The transition between Heroin and Sister Ray was digitally smoothed over. The Nothing Songs release of "The Legendary Guitar Amp Tape" is the definitive incarnation of this recording. No edits. PM me if you need bootlegs.
Do you/anyone have any Jimi Hendrix bootlegs? I lost all mine in a fire.
you still got the tea party march 15th
heroin/sister ray boots?!
Still gottem?
Anybody have the bootleg?
this is the true sound of psychedelia. thank you VU!
Drone on....fry em up the huns are at the gate and will never be the same....eternal thanx to VU...
I love the way it storms into a Bo Diddley riot at 23:03 . In fact I love everything about this recording!
"Hey, Bo Diddley !"
Bo Diddley was a true pioneer
Un vero pugno nello stomaco, lascia senza parole, è un capolavoro, bella versione.
Yes, it is wonderful - as is the whole concert .. . ..
Astonishing, literally takes no prisoners.
One of The most under rated bands ever! This band was so God damn ahead of its time and blows away most everything offered to the public in the 21st century!!
last 8 minutes are absolutely incredible.
definitely - the best live version of "sister ray" I've ever heard.
thank you
Some of the most delicious feedback ever recorded.
I am correct in this.
jonvalinski Sir you are most definitely correct
Rivaled only by endless nameless
Thanks for uploading this to the Public, many thanks!
I dont know you personally but feel blessed 🥰
8:22-- the moment when Lou's guitar squalling turns my skeleton to hot gelatin...
No matter in which year, this one is always real alternative.
(Pls remember this was recorded in 1969 and it was live)
Just brilliant.
happy birthday lou (:
Lou made me Love Studio 54! He hated the word RIP so I hope you're Soul is with Andy & Eddie!!
It is great to see that they still had this power in 1993 ("Hey Mr Rain" from the MCMXCIII video)...
There's no such thing as recording "through" a guitar amp. The person who recorded this set the mic up directly in front of Lou. Thank you for posting the speed corrected version. Awesome recording!!!
all time great song!!
You have to hear it to believe it.....
Great version!
PTL indeed, that someone had the wits to make a tape of this....even with back room vocal, sonic overload et al
I don't want to express any words but fucking love this song.
No one can't be told about VU here.
(From Taiwan - 37ys)
what melody ! love you Mr Reed !
People reading this comment: PLEASE UPLOAD EVERY LIVE SISTER RAY THERE IS. Thank you.

LOU YOU ARE MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD YOU DIED THE SAME YEAR AS MY MAMA IN AN ACCIDENT I MISS YOU BOTH I WAS 3 TIMES AT YOUR CONCERTS IN LJUBLJANA SLOVENIA REST IN PEACE YOUR LEGACY LIVES ON
RIP Lou Reed.
The Boston Tea Party was in New York.
Grazie, Lou Reed, per questa e tante altre cose indimenticabili. Ti sia lieve, ed elettrica, la terra, visto che hai elettrizzato tanti nostri momenti.
Yes, I have put I Can't Stand It on here also.
I may have a copy of the entire performance.
What a superb version. Have loved the Velvets since I was eleven (1971) and this is the first time I have heard this. Only bettered by the original studio version I think.

Possibly the masterpiece of the century (Piero Scaruffi)
Well said sir.
scaruffi likes nasty noises, that doesn't mean is the masterpiece of the century.
I respect some of his picks like Blonde on blonde, The Sinner Lady, Astral Weeks, Rock Bottom, Velvet, The Doors... He said is the masterpiece of rock history, not of all the music of the century and all the genres. He said probably at the height of Beethoven's symphonies, I think that's a stupid thing to say by him, the different art forms can't compare, he just says that thing to feel cool and feeding his own ego and he has a lot trust me. And still I consider him one of the best music critics out there, but his ego fails sometimes.
+Azku Shang Beethoven died in the early 1800s.
Also he said it was "possibly THE masterpiece of 20th century music".
Marco Di Caprio that is a real chef d oeuvres!
Th-this is... just... EPIC!
It manages to be even more aggressive and destructive than the original one. That's to say it may very well stand as the "hardest" song ever.
ending is epic here.
off the hook. i love this
Nasty, wonderful.
'Loaded" is still a great record.
Thanks. My mind leaves this world when Lou does his thing.
Tremendous !
Jaysus! That's an epic version.
Thanks uploader!
best version i have ever head
It really is quite delicious !
Holy shit, 12:04 to 12:57 is amazing
DistantLights f
solo per pochi...eletti...grandioso!
I know, it is lovely.
You should hear the rest of the gig !
R.I.P. Great Immortal Soul! (But the pain lingers on).
The machine that is the VU blows the sound away filthy to the core
Right out of the box, massive droning feedback. It takes Hendrix 6-7 min to get there. 😅. Fantastic.
incredibile anticipazione di post-punk-industrial (una definizione come un altra). Neanche Foetus oserebbe tanto.
It is stunning !
Metallic hell-bent bees, who smell your fear and work for your destruction
CRUSHING
The whole piece is absolutely delicious.
AwesomE version of Sister Ray
Great
That's in the age of power for the Velvets. Maybe better than studio version for me. Actually both are very different, regarding the organ sound
yes
I MUST OBTAIN THIS!
I gave this seminal piece of music a Playlist all of its own- it's called Non Plus Ultra...
9:30-- now I am flopping around onna floor helplessly tryin to get my arms & legs ta solidify & start functioning again, but they just twitch spastically & nevertheless I am STILL grinning one fuck of a shit-eatin rictus grin. This is RELIGIOUS shit right here. I'm down inna Spirit... 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hey the day I was born! Far out! Yeah baby! VU ushering in a Pisces lunatic! Feedback and noise...only thing missing is Cale doing his thing on viola etc!
Un délice.
presque aussi bien que light my fire des Doors. ils s'en sont bien inspirés en tout cas.
Bobbie Iggins Déjà quand on s'appelle Bobbie on ferme sa gueule....
+Edgar Ramme si tu n'aimes pas les doors, tu n'y connais rien.... espèce de rageux !
et si tu n'es pas content et violent, ce n'est pas la peine de venir sur cette page.
ici c'est pour les fans des doors !
HAIL jim morisson du velvet !
respecte cet espace de liberté qu'est YT stp !
Bobbie Iggins * "le train de tes injures roule sur les rails de mon indifférence " il me semble que c est plutôt ça la réplique
sinon VU au top comme d hab
tu n'es vraiment pas très sympa.
PURE THORAZINE...............................
He was just trying to sound sarcastic, as the feedback is incredibly powerful.
Okay, I think my heart just ceased beating fer a sec...
Mo tucker. 25 minutes. Wow.
Doug Yule is struggling to fill massive shoes on this one. The guitar is awesome, though.
RIP Lou. You were fucking boss
Klasika, vole!
Recorded on the Ides of March! ;)
rip lou
;_;
The Ides of March! :)
💜
