    The Matrix was a great venue. Small, personal and with a phenomenal assortment of artists. I was there many times from 66-67. I never saw the Velvet Underground live, but they were unique and I enjoyed their albums for a long time. What a cool find!

    the "ooooooo white light/white heat" is more haunting despite how upbeat it is. the 1969 live album (with the ass on the front cover) shoulda included this one instead of the other version (even tho i really love that one). I believe this version to be the quintessential white light/white heat version. fight me.

    The playing on here is astounding. SO much better than the album version (which is also great, though not my favorite track on that record). So this version was without Cale then. The guitar playing is 1000x better here - for one thing you can actually hear them! They also added a very cool little change which is interesting & catchy. The speed they're playing at adds to the rush and they are so tight! Too had the band had to fall apart, they were amazing.

      Moe never really left the group, she was just pregnant in 1970 during the recordings of Loaded and Live at Max's Kansas City sessions. This is from 1969 and definitely her drumming. The way you can tell it's not Moe is when you start hearing all those busy drum rolls and shit. She kept it simple.
