The second half of A Velvet Rush. As you listen, remember that Marshall McLuhan credited the Velvets and Warhol with inventing the light show. And that the Velvets were a dance band, in the sense of raves and trance.

I'm Not A Young Man Anymore (Gymnasium NYC 30 April 1967) / Run Run Run-Sister Ray (excerpt) (30 April 1967) / Pale Blue Eyes (La Cave Cleveland 2 Oct 1968) / Sister Ray-The Murder Mystery (Boston Tea Party 15 Mar 1969) / Head Held High (unused single mix from Loaded sessions June 1970)

This is the second all-Velvets Chill Room special. You can still hear the first, titled Velvet Crush, on radio4all.net at http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/21222.

Feedback requested (yes, a pun, but also seriously, give me some feedback on this stuff). Posted for educational purposes only. With much thanks to Dave Parker for finding that Factory tape, to my listeners and friendly support systems, to John Cale and Sterling and Mo and Doug and yes Lou, and to the Internets.

The Velvet Underground: Lou Reed, guitar, vocals; John Cale, viola, bass, organ, piano, machines, vocals; Sterling Morrison, guitar, bass, vocals; Maureen Tucker, drums; Nico, vocals, Doug Yule, guitar and keyboards, vocals.

This show lives up to its name. Gypsy Death, and You.
