Turns out you were right, his footage is silent, as per this older thread: http://velvetforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=144734 I took another crack at syncing up the footage - there's some brief clips that show up a minute or two before Doug singing in the doc but I'm not sure what part of the song they'r...

I've wondered for a long time why there never seemed to be any pictures of Doug playing with Lou in 75/76, despite performing on a whole tour, but I finally found two shots, the first from March 9/75 in Amsterdam and the second from the 25th in London: https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/lou-reed-p...

Thanks, that was a really nice read. He doesn't say anything about it being silent though:

Using my friend Michael Pitkow’s video gear, a primitive Sony Portapak, I shot some grainy black-and-white footage Todd was able to use, with Doug singing “Candy Says.”

Watched it this morning. I think Todd did a very good job considering what he had (and didn't have) to work with, and it was nice to see footage like the tarot card reading and the David Susskind show.

They did play it live - there's a pretty bad recording on the soundtrack to Warhol's Boston Tea Party film from 67. I attempted to adjust the audio a bit but it's really not very enjoyable listening, haha (and I say that as someone who's logged hours with the Amp Tapes): https://www.4shared.com/musi...

Hey that's my hometown too! So I've also been interested in that show. When I visited the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh a couple years ago I was tickled to see a review of the Hamilton concert on display in the VU section. The concert and review is covered in the book White Light/White Heat and ...
