Description
The Velvet Underground decided to call it quits in 1970, and the last thing anyone expected was to hear from them again. When the Velvets announced plans for a reunion tour in Europe, opening for U2 on select dates there, expectations of a U.S. tour rose to a fever pitch. Tragically the Velvets broke up once again before reaching the states. The Velvet Underground reunion may never have reached America, but as live DVDs go, Live MCMXCIII stands as a fitting tribute to both Morrison and the legacy of The Velvet Underground.

 What a magical moment. June 1, 2007
See all together one more time, this concert is the most important of that year.
 WHAT A WASTE January 1, 2007

This has absolutely the worst picture quality I have ever seen on a DVD. There is no excuse. Moreover, there are absolutely no extras. Finally, this concert was shot as if it was a Lou Reed solo show, not a Velvet Underground show (e.g., when Sterling Morrison takes a solo the camera focuses not on Sterling but on Lou WATCHING Sterling soloing). Moe Tucker might as well not even be there for the amount of camera time she gets.
This is BRILLIANT - Buy it! November 10, 2006

I was first turned on to the VU when I was in college in the early 80s, and never thought they would get back together. So, when I heard that they were touring with U2 in the UK and Europe in the early 90's I held out hope that they'd come to the states. Alas, that never happened, mostly because Sterling Morrison died in 1995, but also because these guys really didn't love each other enough to stay together.br /br /That said, the dynamic tension here blew my mind when I picked this up on LaserDisc in 1994, and on DVD the sound and picture are even better. The version of "Hey Mr. Rain" is intense - they jam for nearly eight minutes and it is powered by Moe Tucker's powerhouse drumming. br /br /This is a GREAT document of one of the greatest bands to ever play.
Could have a had some extras March 16, 2006

I thought this one might be as dull as Lou Reed's earlier DVD release Spanish Fly, but thankfully I was wrong. This show highlights the band much later in life, but still putting on one hell of a show. Naturally they cover all of the crowd favorites, and the sound is excellent. Everyone in the group is at the top of their game and show no signs of rust. Could have a had some extras.
 a dissapointment? March 1, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
let me get this straight: i haven't bought the dvd (don't know if i will) but i have owned this show in vhs for almost a decade. i agree with the people that say the band feels detached from their own songs here (but hey, it was almost a quarter of century after their split) and that for a good part of the show --mostly not seen on the video, but present on the 2cd set-- this feels much more like "lou reed and his backing band", which isn't nearly as good as "the velvets live". anyway, the selection of songs is good, i guess (i'd have prefered to have "afterhours" instead of "i'm sticking with you" and why the hell "all tomorrow's parties" is not included?) but this release on dvd is quite a dissapointment. i understand that this is basically a vhs to dvd release, so the sound is merely stereo, not 5.1... by the way, john cale complained a lot about the freaking MIX of the cds by mike rathke, 'cause they didn't capture the raw energy ("we wanted to fill the room up with this noise") of the show, and indeed reed's vocals are in the front, which is not good always. check out how cale's viola is almost buried in "venus in furs" for instance... it's a shame that, as usual, lou reed got control of everything in this so-so product and it's a shame that this is the only official document of their last reunion. we'd like to see the whole damn show at least, and a new mix!
