This recording might just be the loudest, rawest and heaviest thing to ever come out of the 1960s. Still sounds incredibly powerful over 50 years later.
It's such a blindingly brilliant concept from the audience member. Just record as close as possible to Lou's amp. Outstanding. Best idea Warhol never had !
It reminds me of the time I recorded a local band on my portable cassette machine.. The battery's were failing so the recording ended up sounding super distorted.. They were so impressed with how knarly it sounded they released a limited run of cassettes of the recording
@fox pals well you have to consider that this recording is literally just the mic right next to lou's amp, so imagine a recording of ron asheton playing la blues with the recording just being the mic next to ron's guitar, i figure it'd be just as intense still both great though
First leed break....thats ( Lou )Ostritch Guitar. ( All strings tuned E ).....this is what I imagine Jonathan Richman meant...." Lou would rape his guitar...)
Sister Ray is in G. He isn't using ostrich tuning during this. This is probably tuned a half step down if anything, although it's probably just the old tape making it sound detuned.
they often took turns soloing, these recordings are directly from Lou's amp. Sterling's solos were usually bluesier while Lou's were a wall of sounds as heard here
There's feedback... Then there's Velvet underground feedback unberfuckinlivable...
Well stated

They set the bar unbelievably high
This is the best thing ever done by people.
This is the kind of music that sets you free
In 1967, the Byrds fired David Crosby. In 1968, Lou Reed fired John Cale. Both moves were extremely mental.
hahaha so true

Warhol had idéal??
E
@@legomrreviesI like E
The gold standard for guitar tone as far as I’m concerned.
more like the diamond standard
Sunn amps cranked, Vox MKII fuzz, Gibson Semi-hollow guitars and don't forget Lou Reed's hands.
This is how music was meant to be heard and sound
It reminds me of the time I recorded a local band on my portable cassette machine.. The battery's were failing so the recording ended up sounding super distorted.. They were so impressed with how knarly it sounded they released a limited run of cassettes of the recording
This is an example of why the old saying survives: Not Quite The Velvet Underground
70 years and still dancing to this
Lou Reed is having one of the best nights of his entire career on this one, it's like watching Michael Jordan win a championship or something...
VU at their very finest
Holy shit. It's even better than the studio version.
monster of a sound
my life until this moment has been but prelude....

@fox pals i can understand, i think that they were both just as intense but just simply different
@@neal1692 not even close, Lou had no equal
@@II-xl7lj stop overrating lou
Oh, just like Sister Ray said!
This is freakin' incredible
it's beautiful
And now you know.

And APTBS was born.
Love Hurts by the Everly Brothers
Anybody know what actual show this was?
Boston Tea Party
Is that Reed or Sterling Morrison? Wasn’t Sterling lead guitar?

Is this a bootleg recording?
