5 out of 5 stars this is coolest band on the planet   February 22, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I can't even imagine would it be like at these concerts or any of the VU shows from the 60's. All we have in terms of visual is the warhol films and 1993 which doesnt even come close. I can't imagine what cool Lou must of looked flippin out with his voice and guitar of that period. As a matter of fact it's hard for me to imagine this music was even created.


5 out of 5 stars Where is Vol. 2?   February 7, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The ONLY problem with the Quine Tapes is that it says, "Vol. 1" and many years later there still is no Vol. 2. I know it probably didn't make any money and so Vol. 2 was scrapped, but it still breaks my heart. It is such a lovely collection, and the other reviewers are right that after a few listens, one hardly notices the poor sound quality. One of the magical things about the Velvet Underground is that they don't need thousands of dollars of stereo equipment to sound good. They sound great on a car tape-deck with the windows open, or even through the terrible ear-buds that come with portable music players.


4 out of 5 stars Follow the leader   January 2, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Overall, worse than "Live, 1969"--the best live rock band record alive. Much better though than "Max's Kansas City", which is ruined with Billy Yule's monster drums (where one can hear how soon Lou's solo career would sound). Certainly, the quality of this is worse than Max's, it's however, the VU at the top of their game, similar to "Live, 1969." This collection includes estimable versions of "Sister Ray" which is preferable to early bootleg versions with John Cale (the 38:00 minute version is otherworldly)--and, it positively must be true they were a much better live band during this period. All said and done, the linchpin is the 17:00 minute version of "Follow the Leader," an extended rhythm guitar marathon w/ a mighty band pumpin' in unison. The 10:00 version of "White Light/White Heat" comes a close second...And if you want to really know how good this is, dig up how it influenced Robert Quine's guitar playing. "You know his life was changed by rock-n-roll."


5 out of 5 stars A Must for VU Fans   October 14, 2006
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

More raw and experimental than "69 Live." Better (and warmer) sound, to my ears, than Max's. Never mind the tape hiss and lo-fi--the music gets through. As others here have said, this is not the best place to begin listening to the Velvets, but if you already are a fan, you will love it. The sprawling stretches of "Sister Ray" and other extended versions of VU songs are a revelation. There is nothing like the shock of hearing a band you revere live for the first time. This set can bring you quite close to that experience.


5 out of 5 stars AND THE ANSWER FOR ALLTIME   June 1, 2006

IS THE Velvets, who went Underground "a thousand Years ago",resurfaced and are proof positive that being underground and the "Consequence" for returning is as enigmatic,pure,solid, like Stonehenge. Do not worry if this is your first Velvet Cd. You are now solidified into the master's of the Dark. Now my people, go buy this CD and find out why such a progressive group in the mid 60's are just as exhilirating, provocative and even so they remain such. Buy this Cd, like 3 cd's for $30.00 and forget about seeking out "The Man".There's alwys "Tomorrrow's parties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
