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!
It was recorded with soundboard?? A few bunch of VU gigs were recorded in that way... this sounds incredible man!!! I can't believe. It's an experience.
+Rodrigo Romero bullshit. listen babies ALL VELVET UNDERGROUND LIVE BOOTLEGS YES BOOTLEGS DAHLINGS WERE RECORDED WITH SIMPLE REEL TO REEL TAPE RECORDERS --- THE TINY ONES
thats kinda how musicians see it. Our instruments are having a conversation with eachother, especially 2 guitars, or any jazz group ever, or....a lot of cases actually
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.
I love this so much, best version of the song. The solo went on for so long though, that the steam was out by the time they started the last verse. It's a shame too because their long jams are usually the best.
@@eargasm1072 hmm maybe Dave Davies of the Kinks used power chords earliest, if you look at any source of protopunk they always say those early Kinks songs
@@comradethoth9629 no she wasn t she just had a n*zi fetish, just like a bunch of rockstars had, ie Sid vicious, Siouxsie, Ian Curtis, death in june, Bowie, fucking Roger waters, Marilyn Manson, and It could go on forever
If albums were like CV's, the velvet underground's 'white light white heat', would be a great example of this, only 6 songs, but every one if those is a different style which covers what the velvet underground were capable of doing.
Amazing... The VU of 69 is my favorite edition of the band ... DYK that neither Doug Yule nor Nico are included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. . This is criminal in my opinion
SHIT LOADS of speed u can bet...daaaaaamn...bein on pure pharma amph the 3day in a row I cant describe you how I percieve the music right now....hoooooly shot. pure speed fueled craziness...I totally trip away to the jangling soli....
+Panda Person i think this might be after she left the group, and doug yule and brother billy replaced john cale and moe, not sure though when this performance was
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.
let's not go crazy, meth heads; this is a dueling-gtr/bss/drms - lover's synthesis of the 1969 laidback live ''country" version with the original dark doowop hymn/psych dirge. all of them great, but there's only ever one 45 single, in and out in 3 minutes anthem
Ok guys, let's start a band
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!
I bet you saw big brother and the holding company tho bro.
big cheers to the veterans !
this grooves like nothing else
Clicking on this expecting the album version and got something mind blowingly better
"watch that speedfreak, watch that speedfreak,..... Great stuff. They inspired so much people and musicians. Really something special.
you'd think that at a certain point, either sterling or lou's fingers would just fall right off at the base from how hard they were jamming
No band in my mind ever jammed as hard as the VUG
It was recorded with soundboard?? A few bunch of VU gigs were recorded in that way... this sounds incredible man!!!
I can't believe.
It's an experience.
+Rodrigo Romero bullshit. listen babies ALL VELVET UNDERGROUND LIVE BOOTLEGS YES BOOTLEGS DAHLINGS WERE RECORDED WITH SIMPLE REEL TO REEL TAPE RECORDERS --- THE TINY ONES
Joe Rodriguez Yes, plugged into the soundboard. that's what a soundboard recording is- a tape recorder plugged into the mixing console.
This gave me goosebumps , holy shit this version is good.
yeah....sounds great. The guitars are raw!
Wow!!!! Where have you been all my life? Best version ever! Feel that fury...speachless....
I love when Lou and Sterling would trade rhythm/lead, they were top form here.
Outrageous and insane. In other words, perfect.
I swear Sterling Morrison’s wrist was made of rubber! His rhythm playing was so tight and syncopated
I believe (at this tempo) Maureen's hitting it like Charlies Watts, ie no cymbal on the 2 and 4, just snare.
Maureen has stated in interviews that she had an affinity for early to mid-60s Stones
This uptempo version is awesome!
pure sound quality, best
at some point i started dissociating and thought the guitars were having a conversation with eatchother.
they are
thats kinda how musicians see it. Our instruments are having a conversation with eachother, especially 2 guitars, or any jazz group ever, or....a lot of cases actually
yes they are because they always looked ad each other when playing to understand what to do, Moe Tucker said that in an interview its on youtube.
@@Krysticfrequency Yeah man. It's an exchange of ideas.
@@Krysticfrequency - it's twue it's twue -
Must have. Must have The Matrix Tapes.
+FritzIdler Spotify
Their best live but it is too expensive even used!
what a glorious noise. that's rock n roll how it was meant to be.... rebellious and puking right on your feet.
The best live recordings of VU to date. So damn good!

Agree, though I cut my teeth to VU 1969 and WLWH version, it's almost psychedelic the very antithesis of the band.
what a kickass live band!
Insanely good. Like speedball.
raw as we love it.
If this doesn't capture the essence of real rock-n-roll, then the entire world missed the point....
This needs to be the song that everyone plays at music stores to test guitars out
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.

After Velvet Underground nothing more happened.
I love this so much, best version of the song. The solo went on for so long though, that the steam was out by the time they started the last verse. It's a shame too because their long jams are usually the best.
Wow. I actually like this better than the final version.
It's so much better!
let's not go crazy
Reed, along with Keith Richards and Pete Townshend are the great under appreciated kings of the rhythm guitar
Wow
Yep. dont forget Sterling Morrison, him and Lou would alternate between lead and rhythm
Lou and Sterling yes....
Richards and Townsend...not fit to lick Lou's boots.😉
I think Lou is much more underappreciated than Keith or Pete, who is recognized as the king of the power chord!
@@eargasm1072 hmm maybe Dave Davies of the Kinks used power chords earliest, if you look at any source of protopunk they always say those early Kinks songs
Genios del rock y vanguardistas sin igual Velvet Underground gracias por la música
This is fucking outrageous
R'N'R!!!! JUST AWESOME!!!! Fist time i listened them i was 14 y.o. now i'm almost 40 and when i listen them my blood just boil to dance
Better than album version
The album version is my favorite, but this live version so far seems like the best of the song.
That's ok also
IT GOES HARD
Holy fuck. Mind blown every time I listen to this version.
at 01:38 who was shouting 'come oooon!!'? Was it Moe?
+jrgbello That was Doug lol
+JIDF Fuck off nazi
spineway
No thank you. Also, Nico was a known National Socialist sympathizer. Which I know sounds strange considering Lou was born a Jew.
Comrade Thoth wait what? did i read that correctly?
@@comradethoth9629 no she wasn t she just had a n*zi fetish, just like a bunch of rockstars had, ie Sid vicious, Siouxsie, Ian Curtis, death in june, Bowie, fucking Roger waters, Marilyn Manson, and It could go on forever
What an experience!
FUCK. YES. It's about goddamn time.
Hot dang ! They’re literally tearing the place down ! 🔥
Watch that speed freak gonna shoot it up every night of the week
Speed & beer, fantasric for heard this music LOVE ALL SONGS OF LOU & VELVET , WAIT ME IN THE SKY . :(
Go Lou Lord have mercy....
Wow this really sounds fresh
Noise rock!!
perfect B/G to bridge jumping---whatta band!!!!!
If albums were like CV's, the velvet underground's 'white light white heat', would be a great example of this, only 6 songs, but every one if those is a different style which covers what the velvet underground were capable of doing.
That sound like their speed rushin hard on this cut!
Gigantes del pop.
DRUNK GIRLS
fantastico
i would give an arm, a leg and a newborn child just to be at the show this was played at
Lol
Oh no... Fireblu...
your mom was there...
You would have gotten in easily because the were only like 6 people there.
Right on ! This is rock & roll, powerful best version !👏👍
I’m betting it’s Doug who yells C’mon!! right before the solo.
I think it's Mo
ROCK AND ROLL, YOU BEAST YOU
Esta rola es mucho mas que una simple canción de punk y era algo distinto para esa epoca
The Velvets were the perfect 1960s East Coast answer to the Beach Boys.
I want to celebrate this to the world, but I don't know how!!
Here's combined blues and rock a billy on speed. Where's JOHNNY CASH? Sitting over there!
Its great for "speeding" if u know what i mean
let's get that white heat do a shot of crank
Way better than Version 2/the one on Live 1969
The early LP edition with the banana-skin sticker peeled of. Anyone noticed.
l 'intégralité est sorti en boot LP et également en coffret CD avec livre !
Powerful testimony for ANDY. LOU. VU.
Amazing... The VU of 69 is my favorite edition of the band ... DYK that neither Doug Yule nor Nico are included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. . This is criminal in my opinion
lit up
This is the shit. Does anyone know, is white light a nickname for speed? Sure fits the bill anyway!
wouldn't be surprised, a lot of their stuff has double meanings
Yes
originally it was a reference to moonshine
Yaaaaaay!!!!!
Thanks so much. Very, very Cool, indeed. I appreciate beyond words. :)
Needs more staplegun
Don't need cowbell.
Dunno y but this one kinda reminds me of "fell in love with a girl" by white stripes
I hope yer not serious are you? haha
I get where you're coming from
this is fucking glorious
amphetamines :')
Yeah thats nice :)
My favourite
SHIT LOADS of speed u can bet...daaaaaamn...bein on pure pharma amph the 3day in a row I cant describe you how I percieve the music right now....hoooooly shot. pure speed fueled craziness...I totally trip away to the jangling soli....
velvet tapeit!!!!
Holly Shillfit❗️Why wasn't this the version released originally ❓A+++
MOE WITH CYMBALS?!
+Panda Person i think this might be after she left the group, and doug yule and brother billy replaced john cale and moe, not sure though when this performance was
tsubasa ohkawa yeah
+tsubasa ohkawa that was in 1970. Moe played cymbals since at least 1966 (see the video recorded of them by Andy Warhol).
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.
No kick drum tho....
Feedback!!!!!!!
It was like speed rush.
Always comin back when i shoot up speed.
Out of the fucking extraordinary
Damn. ,,left hand inside lane hammer down blowin doors.....
Great fucking sound!
Is this Mo Tucker or Billy Yule on drums?
It's Moe.
Moe left the band to have a baby around the time that Loaded was recorded. She was still with the band in ‘69 , when these live recordings were made.
Viva peron
Brother Doug Yule wasn't a penguin ! ;)
Fun to play this at three-quarter speed.
cara, isso é INSANO!! HUUAHUAEHUAHAEU
VU at its best
THX!
Before rock, there was rock and roll.
ASTONISHING !
yes babe
핵타 his words no say nuthin
HECTOR
fuckin rock&roll!!!
Chi ha comprato V.U. suonerà la chitarra elettrica! Really! :-)

Tocan un poquito no???
topzilla
Did I die and just go to heaven...just checking
This is live?😮
Black Flag vibes
More spacey but the same kind hard driving rhythm.
