THE VELVET UNDERGROUND: nyc
There are live Velvet Underground recordings, and then there are live Velvet Underground recordings from New York, where the air itself seems slightly more confrontational.
The performances are looser, sometimes shambolic, often transcendent.
Hearing these songs in their native habitat - half art happening, half rock show, is a reminder that they were less about perfection and more about presence.
You don’t attend; you endure, and then you’re converted.
