The Gymnasium, NYC

I'm not into VU bootlegs really, but apparently this is a big deal. It's the ONLY available live stuff from 1967 and has only become available in literally the last two days. Recorded just after the release of The Velvet Underground And Nico and featuring the debut performance of Sister Ray (19 mins long) and the *previously unheard* song I'm Not A Young Man Any More. That's right, A NEW VELVET UNDERGROUND SONG. And it's fucking good too. This version of Sister Ray absolutely shreds and is what the Velvet Underground are all about.

I'm just listening now and i can already say that, in addition to the historical importance of these five recordings, this thing rocks like a motherfucker.

That should still be fine (10 downloads so far!) but i'll stick a yousendit link up in a bit too. Mediafire can be a bit unreliable

I've just pissed myself (and I've only listened to Sister Ray so far). That is fucking bona. The sound quality is amazing. Cheers.

Bless you My Son. Been waiting to hear this since John Cale said he had this tape on a radio show over twenty years ago. Brilliant.

Per chance... Does anyone have Lou/Cale/Nico Live at Le Bataclan '72 to upload? It's been deleted, I don't have it, much obliged etc etc etc...

*passes out on the floor*











*shits herself*









*goes to heaven while listning to this songs*

^havn't heard them yet, so it might also be hell- well it's going to be hell anyway

87 downloads so far - ace!



I didn't know this existed before yesterday but to those who have been waiting, was it worth the wait?

I'd never heard of it before but it's my favourite band (yaaawwwwwnnn) and Sister Ray is my favourite song in the entire world so I'm well fucking happy. Listen to Mo Tucker's drumming at the end, it's fucking immense... I've played it all night/morning. It's *that* good.

This is fucking wicked....this is why i love the internet, i can wake up fucked and just have new Velvet Underground given to me. God bless.

Apparently it's the only live version of Sister Ray to feature John Cale too - can't stop listening.

bump cos I'm still listening to it and its still fucking brilliant

Cheers for the bump,and upload, i didn't see this earlier.

I was aware over the huge lack of early live recordings of VU, so this is quality. Shame we can't find more than 5 tracks though.

Can't wait to listen.

Love
