1969: The Velvet Underground Live (with Lou Reed) Vol. 1

This generous collection offers a rare, professionally recorded live document of The Velvet Underground: Taken from performances in San Francisco and Dallas, it shows the band delivering unique takes on timeless songs as well as tunes that never ended up on their albums. Lou Reed and co. sound mellow as they infuse “I’m Waiting for the Man” with country-rock twang, and the measured pacing of “New Age” exudes tense desire. On “What Goes On,” however, they step up the intensity for pure psych-rock rapture.
