Let's hand the mic to Jonathan Richman, Velvets superfan, who was often in the audience: "[T]he crowd was FUN!" Wall-to-wall hippies, bikers, Harvard students, Northeastern students, fashion models, professors, drug dealers, art teachers, groupies, MIT students, photographers, local thugs, local disc jockeys, skinny-bohemian-artist girls, visiting dignitaries from the New York art scene, and the royalty of the Boston music set - the local singers and guitar-players in their mod suits strolling around with their beautiful girlfriends." Rock And Roll, indeed.
The bootleg of this January show is probably the best fidelity of the various audience tapes made in 1969 at the Boston Tea Party. Not to say it's fantastic - it's still a 43-year-old audience tape - but crank it up and it's highly listenable. And it's a phenomenal performance, with the Velvets shifting effortlessly from the lowdown noise boogie of "Run Run Run" and "White Light/White Heat" to hymn-like renditions of "I'm Set Free" and "Candy Says". While an instrumental version of "Move Right In" appeared on the Another View odds-n-sods compilation, the one that appears here is the definitive reading, with Moe Tucker raving up a storm. Naturally, the megalithic "Sister Ray" closes out the set, offering a twisted, 21-minute trip through parts unknown. I'll give the last word to Richman: "[S]ometimes you just plain couldn't figure out where on the stage those strange sounds and harmonics were coming from, because of the eerie calm with which they played and improvised in front of you, and because every time they'd come to town they'd introduce at least one new song that would, for better or worse, sound like nothing else that had gone before in rock music."

I was there!!... and for so many of their shows at the Tea Party... they played there many times from mid '67 through early '69. Their earlier shows with John Cale were a bit more musically chaotic, this is a relatively laid back. Wish I could remember the experiences better, but fortunately I kept track of all the shows I saw there, and elsewhere, cause I knew I was part of something musically and historically significant, I was 19-21 during that time. Thx for the excellent upload.

❤I was born the mid child a hermaphrodite of triplets girl and boy in August 1969. I am so fortunate! I know how many lovely people were making honest music and caring about one another and healing from war and sharing how feelings felt - I was passed around in love circles to be held by entertaining people who made their own clothing and jewelry and instruments and head to toe wanted better for the worlds and collective consciousness was a gift we used! I was lucky because my uncle was best friends with Lou reed and they felt Lu my and Nico babysat me and Warhol babysat me and Patti and my mom gave hand made bean bags to the factory and my dad helped explain how sound could be better and designing happened and movies were made and I drew and coloured and painted with these beautiful artists of The Factory where you could benefit each other and as a group and anyone really hip to that could have a part. When I see the other places I have the same feelings that I’m home . I travelled a bunch around this gorgeous planet ooh the trains in Russia and Germany and how many similarities and differences there are . I was trained from a few days on phone to use sign language and I talked and walked so early and I loved to help. To work is to create which God does the

Love it. Saw them May 31,1969 @ the Tea Party. I was graduating from H.S. the next day so I was extremely psyched to see the Velvets. Well I would go early to make sure I got in,(got shut out of Led Zep, there shortly before). I had never heard of the opening act but I was floored, these guys were phenomenal, it was The Allman Bros. Greg mentions in his book about their arrangement w/ the Tea Party at that time in their career. Been to 100's of shows, this ranks up there in my top10.

Which is, like, a year before then. Pregnant or not, Maureen is (standing) behind the kit in this recording. Clear enough?

@@1959markie1 sure no! but i presume, the problem with language in general is, words are getting hollowed out when they're getting 'too popular', just like it happened to the very word 'respect' in the last years, or like lou sang in his: 'standing on ceremony': "...can't you show some respect please / although you didn't in real life / your mother is dying / and I god damn well hope you're satisfied..." so probably people in general might need poets to give us this special awareness of all those specific words & their detailed meanings, to keep up with a certain differentiated 'honesty' maybe??? or just like bob dylan sang: "...goodbye's too good a word babe, so i'll just say fare thee well..." as i was told today, a recording of lou singing this bob song will be released now soon.... but maybe i'm just too much 'blabber 'n smoke' now??? but being bothered after dying seems an impossibility to me too......

I wish more rock bands were into Jazz (and not the artsy type, the type that actually has balls to it) these days because the tight and semi coherent enough Jazz Jam in the middle of a rock song that aren't trying to be the Greatful Dead is something that really lacks in the modern era.

@creekandseminole 9 жыл бұрын

Might not be your cup of tea, but check out this artist by the name of King Krule. Look for the video for his song called "Octopus". He's really young and from the UK and he uses brass in several of his songs. He's actually quite amazing for a young fellow. He mixes electronic music with very minimalistic post-punk I'd say. He doesn't sing punkish though. He sounds more like a really drunk Randy Newman or Damon Albarn.

+MRLein93 "I Can't Stand It"; set two from the Matrix. That may be the best late 60's jam I've ever heard. It's concise, and very British at the time vs. the San Fran Hippie bands. It was more Syd Barrett Floyd than the Dead. Modern Jam Bands are crap, except for Gov't Mule. Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green were the real jam band at the time, they made the Dead look like amateur hour. The Allmans' did the same after Green left Fleetwood Mac.

@LucyOLastic 8 жыл бұрын

+creekandseminole he's one of the more interesting artists to come out of the UK in a while, but not heard anything from him in a long time. I'm hoping he comes up with something amazing after such a long absence. He's quite exploratory, and I like how he mixes his jazz influences with funk and some darker, trippier elements. He's more Bragg, Tom Waits and Mike Skinner I think, but the Randy Newman comparison is spot on. Imagine him doing "12 Songs..." I had almost forgotten about him, and the effect listening to "Neptune Estate" had. I hope to listen to to his album with fresh ears when the time is right.

Thank you SO much for this. I was at the Tea Party almost every weekend from '68 to whenever it closed (forgot! Too much grass!). I think I missed VU. Don't remember anyone recording the shows. Where were you? Were you recording for the club?

I wasn't there. I was ten years old. Love you Lou.

Maybe a few comments that told this video's quality is so bad. But, i think we don't care about that. The spirit of VU is real, raw, and can't image. Unless via their music.

They played in Memphis about this time. But it wasn't publicized. It was small but went over well.
