The photographer's name, Santi Visalli, is new to me. If he took this one shot, he must've taken more. The Wikipedia entry on him indicates that he was quite a successful and famous photographer, and also that he's still alive:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santi_Visalli

And gives the URL to his professional website:

http://www.santivisalli.com/

The sight is not very deep, but it does provide some contact info. Is anyone here willing to write to the e-mail address shown there and inquire about the existence of other VU frames?

Yes I saw that but Getty is notoriously unreliable with dates regarding music photos.
Didn't Nico play her last show with the VU on May 27th 1967?
