From Dead Flowers:
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.
True! Download it while you can folks, this is great stuff. Just click the Dead Flowers link above to take you there.
Also reviewed here at Idolator if you aren’t believin’.
Worth it alone to hear Lou yell ‘Sock It To Me’ before each solo!
Here’s the tracklist:
1. I’m Not A Young Man Anymore (previously unheard VU song)
2. Guess I’m Falling In Love
3. I’m Waiting For The Man
4. Run Run Run
5. Sister Ray (debut live performance)
