Velvet Underground Trainspotting Question

sleep hippie vu is still kickass

Too lazy to itemise - anyone know what’s on the vinyl that ain’t on the CDs?

Wait, was the other band The Nazz or not?

Not the Nazz
Just a buzz
Some kinda temporary

Matrix tapes on vinyl has the same tracks as matrix tapes on cd.

yeah but the vinyl has all the CD tracks except they’re on vinyl

The numbering for the tracks is a little different because of Sister Ray being split. There is no exclusive content to the vinyl.

ah THAT'S why there's 43 tracks instead of 42, thanks

Thanks, I had assumed that was the reason. I would have been pretty ticked off after buying the same tracks 4 times on 1969 Live, Quine Tapes, 3rd album 45th anniversary and then the Matrix CDs.

Don't think that was the Nazz, but after Rundgren amscrayed in early '69, the rest of the band did relocate to Dallas, and worked out of there with guitarist Snuffy Walden (later of Free and loads of TV soundtracks) for about six months before throwing in the towel near the end of the year.

Too bad this rally was a little too soon for an appearance by Cast of Thousands featuring Stevie's Tobolosky & Ray Vaughan:

anyway that was Lou Rawls doing Season of the Witch

"faxx nazz"

No results found for "faxx nazz".

p sure it's fuxx nazz

I thought about that but the "u"s in both Lou & Underground seem to have more space between the lines.

(and that result is also absent in google as well).

i was just making a childish joke, sry

Velvet Dream meet Velvet Underground

I think it's funny that was a fake Nazz there when the real one was available and in the area.

Lou Mitchell meet Lou Rawls

Any reason...

i lost it when Gumby showed up in that Soul Man video

Eddie Murphy?

Oh no, not him.

I just watched that and felt really weird having successfully avoided anything to do with that movie for so long.

Has anyone attempted to compile a two-disc "best of the Complete Matrix Tapes" playlist with the best versions of all the songs that are duplicated on it? This stuff is so great but I'm not sure I need four versions of Heroin.

Not to cop out but my chief pleasure in listening to the Matrix Tapes is hearing them do whole shows - the continuity of it is the thing. Otherwise a trackwise upgrade of 1969 Live would probably be a solid start (albeit missing the End Cole Ave stuff).

More Dallas '69 footage, I think this has some shots which aren't in the previous one?

Some great shots in this one.

Yes indeed

Yes, the super deluxe edition of the third album has this exact thing

Perfect, thanks!

Wow that Enoch Light track slays

Was that in tandem with those Dallas ‘69 videos that are broken upthread?

Sort of. Same tour. This thing was in Austin.
