1969 The Velvet Underground Live With Lou Reed [2LP]

The Velvet Underground - 1969 The Velvet Underground Live With Lou Reed [2LP]

This sleeper fan-favorite from Lou Reed and Velvet Underground gets its first vinyl reissue in over 40 years. Comprised of two late-in-the-year dates at End of Cole Ave in Dallas and at the Matrix in San Francisco, all sourced from fan tape recordings, the two-track mixdown straight from the live console, or from acetate copies. The fact that few recordings of Velvet Underground exist from before 1970 has made this compilation a treasured gem amongst fans. The tracks on this 2LP showcase a stripped-down and vulnerable Lou Reed accompanied by a band at arguably their creative zenith, and each song offers a fresh perspective on their respective studio versions.
