1  Notes for A Symphony Of Sound:

1966-January:  Factory - New York, NY
The Velvet Underground And Nico: A Symphony Of Sound
Film: by Andy Warhol, 67 min, 2 reels, B/W. A video tape of 2nd reel 
circulates unofficialy. A pirate "audience" screener video (recorded

2  Notes for Sister Ray:

69-Oct-19:  End Of Cole Ave - Dallas, Texas

Tapes: often listed as October 27-28, 1969 but Aral Sezen has done some 
research in the newspaper archives, and found a report about the football 
game that Lou talks about at the start of the tape. The conclusion was 
October 18-19, 1969.

October 19
Tape: audience, A-, 80 minutes. One of the best Velvet Underground live 
recording available. Sister Ray is unfortunately faded out.

3  Notes for Falling In Love With The Falling Spikes:

Listed here as Screentest 1965 but actually contains MGM Music Factory 
1968 interview, Oh Sweet Nuthin' live from Philadelphia 1970, some great 
energetic live soundcheck instrumental that sounds like a speeded up 
Sister Ray mutation from 70-Apr-17: Woodrose Ballroom - Springfield, MA 
(* the band was at The Paramount Theater - Springfield, MA on 70-Apr-17 *), 
plus snippets from Warhol movies.
