The IDGAF attitude shown here is so out there. It predates the punk era and its DIY ethos to just make a happy joyful noise. I could listen to this for hours. So much fun in it.

a great find of a richard farina tune

This band are brill❤

More, please.

Wonder if any of the band members remember the house in Riverside California at 3258 lemon street that was my grandparents home

I keep waiting for Sterling to hit a wrong note. But he never does. They're using standard blues form, but it never becomes cliche.

Sounds like Big Boss Man to me..........

is 0617 in the morning, nice tune

You are born alone and you die alone, enjoy the time you have with your loved ones no one knows what tomorrow brings.... peace n love

Run Run Run’s prequel

Truely wonderful. I can't find it anywhere. Any assistance would be appreciated 🙏

Velvet?

Wrong title, this is actually a European Son rehearsal

The blues man😊😊😊😊

Excellent album😊😊😊😊😊

To compare VU to The Beatles is like trying to compare Bob Dylan to The Rolling Stones or Water to Wine. Impossible. Everything has its place, its values, and its pleasures. I just feel lucky to be here at this time and be able to love them all.

F'ing great jam, deserves WAAAY more comments and thanks.

Oh Daytripper with a electric viola with Mandolin strings that's real top 40...Cale Reed absolute geniuses of the 4 dimension!

PS: HAVE t. Another reviewer claimed to have been a huge Reed fan from the beginning. He went on to disparage Cale and Nico's contributions as worthless. What an idiotic thing to say...Reed needed Cale every bit as much as Cale needed Reed. Some of Reed's greatest songs ONLY work because of Nico...and only Cale managed to recreate her spirit. HOW can some people be so dumb?

Proof that not every bootleg is a cheap rip off. Proof that Lou started out with some talent but in need of direction and a cause. Here he sounds like a thousand other guitarists, jamming and concentrating on getting song right...yet every now and then he allows that inner beast to sun itself for a while. The finger picking is reminiscent of demos such as 'Row the boat ashore'. But this is heavier/deeper...definite hints at what was to follow. In, short, this is worthy of a place on any VU retrospective...as long as it's 5 or more discs long!

neglected pre-denny fairport; a precursor of their VU folk sound. oddball, creepy but captivating.

This is so much better than the Beatles , they could only dream about this sound. The VU make it there own sound. Now you understand why Lou didn’t like the Beatles.

Thie song has nothing to do with day tripper, nor the guitar line, rhythm, nothing. Its just a 12 bars structure used in many songs like chuck berry, elvis or the beatles. I like it anyway, specially that characteristic velvet sound

1.28: the end!

i know JUST where i’m going 🥲

Increíble y sorprende..... formidable

Is this mofo singing “Suzie Q” at the beginning? SICK

Can you share the record info please?

Благодарю.

Lou put the Beatles down a lot so only the real fans would stay.

Lou Reed was always pushing it while still more than happy to mine the past. I don't think that he ever thought that a song was ever totally done. Sometimes he'd get close to murdering his own compositions but isn't that where the true magic lives? Taking it to and beyond the limit is the opposite of bland.

Decameron is one of the most beautiful songs of Fairport Convention for sure.

You can recognize this song amidst its different versions, showing that it did have some structure to it, VU invented their own way of playing music.

Wow no one even cheers, claps or anything - just silence, they don't know what to make of it.

After the Day Tripper intro the jam seems to be based more on She's a Woman than Day Tripper.

Drone , listen to the sublime textures of sound. Collage?

thanks for uploading these, man

Rockabilly never goes out of style.

🙏🙏💙

bloody awesome

The lead singer, Rick Brown, is my big brother.

I think john cale once said that rubber soul inspired him and lou when they were forming velvet underground . Mostly their use of sitar in norwegian wood . I think it gave them the feeling that the scene of mainstream music is changing and in a good way .

CALIFORNIA is the best in the WEST 😎

There was that dark vibe even when they were playing other people's music and a jam uniquely their own.They weren't The Allman Brothers but they had a pretty compelling style. Priceless.

wow only just discovered this band a week ago:)

tried to get this on my old stereo blew it out just now

One if my favorite songs. It makes me feel strong, like a machine

This is still futuristic in 2021

Amateurish .

I suspect that The Beatles' "Day Tripper" was written about Edie Sedgwick. It is similar in theme to "Femme Fatale." Maybe that explains why The Velvet Underground jammed to it.
