One thing about doing a show on satellite radio is that you can pull shit like airing “Sister Ray” in its entirety. While not my favorite Velvets boot, the 1967 Live At The Gymnasium set (that surfaced a few years ago) is not without merit, specifically as it’s the first recorded appearance of said “Sister Ray” and features the grimy “I’m Not A Young Man Anymore,” an excellent ruckus that was “new” upon this sets release. Check it below in all its garage-gnarled glory, along with “Guess I’m Falling In Love.”

7 | boristhespider March 21st, 2011 at 12:11 amCan anyone guide a fan to some sites for good (or I suppose I’ll settle for decent) sound quality VU boots? And maybe recommend some of your faves and/or the best ones? I’ve been into the band for a long time and love the Quine tapes plus the Max’s KC and Live albums but have never explored the non-officially released stuff. Thanks for your help!
