Velvet Underground Documentary

Recommended Posts

Sorry if already posted, but anybody see the Velvet Underground Doc?  Looked promising and the Velvets are probably one of my top 3 bands all time.  Love that Sterling Morrison taught English at UT, played in bands around Austin (the Bizarros)  and became a tugboat captain (Galaxy 500) in Houston. What a life.

Going to populate this topic, so as another poster once famously stated--"Prepare thy anus".

Really fun read:  The improbable story of how Sterling Morrison left VU for UT.

It’s definitely in my queue.
I used to work with Jeff Leegood at a company that did multimedia production. He recorded the Dallas End of Cole Avenue live stuff used on the 1969 live album and the later released End of Cole Ave. stuff.

He told me he was the one who recorded the stuff but he was kinda flaky and there was no credit on my copy of the album so I didn’t know whether to believe him. He even brought some tapes in of what was later released for End of Cole an played them for me on a portable NAGRA deck.

It wasn’t until years later I found out it was actually him.

I love VU; watched it this weekend.

I thought the doc was fine, but not going to rave about it.

It was OK. Nothing groundbreaking.

Damn.  Maybe some things are best in the imagination.
