Ok guys, let's start a band

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.

This gave me goosebumps , holy shit this version is good.

yeah....sounds great. The guitars are raw!

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!

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

If this doesn't capture the essence of real rock-n-roll, then the entire world missed the point....

This uptempo version is awesome!

I love when Lou and Sterling would trade rhythm/lead, they were top form here.

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.

Joe Rodriguez Yes, plugged into the soundboard. that's what a soundboard recording is- a tape recorder plugged into the mixing console.

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.

Agree, though I cut my teeth to VU 1969 and WLWH version, it's almost psychedelic the very antithesis of the band.

at some point i started dissociating and thought the guitars were having a conversation with eatchother.

Watch that speed freak gonna shoot it up every night of the week

I swear Sterling Morrison’s wrist was made of rubber! His rhythm playing was so tight and syncopated

Insanely good. Like speedball.

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.

Hot dang ! They’re literally tearing the place down ! 🔥

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.

After Velvet Underground nothing more happened.

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

Genios del rock y vanguardistas sin igual Velvet Underground gracias por la música

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.

Holy fuck. Mind blown every time I listen to this version.

This is fucking outrageous

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.

Extrêmement pogotant

They sound real good here...propulsive, tight and rockin. I just came from listening to some of the Live at Max's Kansas City album which sounded eh, underwhelming to say the least. Lou seriously out of tune, lagging energy. This is a much better representation of the band live.

I like this version more than the original one 😅

Did I die and just go to heaven...just checking

Out of the fucking extraordinary

More spacey but the same kind hard driving rhythm.
