Favourite Velvet Underground album (with extra facility)

a cool thing about the Tea Party tapes is how enthusiastic the crowd sounds! definitely a crowd full of die-hards (including Jonathan Richman, I guess).

I'd love them to do a Tea Party set like they did The Quine Tapes. Hell, I'd love a box set of say five shows - one each from 66-70 - to complement Peel Slowly and See.

yeah, this tea party thing the guy is talking about is probably the unreleased Vol. 2 of the VU Bootleg Series ... which may never emerge, I don't know.

A lot of these bootlegs seem to be incomplete shows or a mix of different nights or in the wrong order or whatever. Is there anything that puts the full guitar amp recordings in proper sequence/completion? Or the Boston Tea Party gigs?

Remember that in that time, 2 sets a night were played and multiple-day runs weren't unusual either. Combine that with multiple sources and some tapers who cut their tracks after spoken intros and others who cut just after the applause of the previous track, some who cut medleys into separate tracks and others who don't and you end up with this kind of thing. And then you get the 01/02 = January 2nd or February 1st and other illegible/unknown dates on tapes = confusing mess. I'm into Stooges stuff from the early 70s, same story. :-(

guess i should have started a new thread for this...thanks for all the responses

Worth tracking down the Legendary Guitar Amp tape if I manage to snag the 4-disc Boston Tea Party set? How's the 2006 remaster?

The remaster I heard is just louder and has digital clipping. Don't bother.
