Right, the one discussed here - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=146158&p=180140
I'd forgotten about that!
Hopefully this means the rest of the recording is on the way.

Thank you very mutch Ms Rayon
Re: Little Sister live
Not that I'm in a position to disagree, but what makes you think it's from the Provincetown gig?
Keep the faith
Re: Little Sister live
Oh, it's from the same tape referenced in the post above. I've heard it at the Smithsonian. Definitely Provincetown. This surfaced earlier this year. There's a write-up about it inn the latest edition of Richie Unterberger's book.
Re: Little Sister live
it's not Provincetown, I was told its from W Virginia somewhere, Morgantown, and there's not much of it. From a friend of a friend. If you/we call it Provincetown, it could put them in a difficult position. call it Morgantown and you get sone more
Re: Little Sister live
Morgantown it is!
Re: Little Sister live
So does Unterberger give much detail on what the rest of this show at... Morgantown... is like? Is it the full gig? How listenable is the rest of it? I'm guessing that as Little Sister is a fairly quiet song it doesn't suffer as badly from the distortion as some of the others?

Re: Little Sister live
Side thought: I'm beginning get the impression that late 1966 was maybe the peak of Nico's contribution to the band. As well as the Banana songs, we now know she was singing Little Sister on stage (and apparently Sunday Morning too), and contributing to the improvisations - there are even photos of her playing piano at gigs. You could even go as far as to say this was the peak of this version of the band working as a unit. Listen to the Gymnasium show six months later and so much of this has gone - no Nico, not much experimentation or prettiness, it's largely become Lou's show by then. Obviously the roaring guitars and general insanity of WLWH was great too, but in a parallel universe maybe there's an interesting second VU&N album inbetween the two:
Little Sister
Sunday Morning (imagining for a moment that this didn't make it onto the first album - it was a late addition after all)
Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams
It Was a Pleasure Then (and / or something that reflects the long weird improv pieces they were doing at this point)
Chelsea Girls
I'm Not a Young Man Anymore
Guess I'm Falling in Love
It's Alright The Way That You Live
I'm Not Too Sorry Now That You've Gone
Ondine
I'd buy it!

Re: Little Sister live
According to Olivier's site they played Morgantown on 5 Nov 66, the night after the Valleydale gig. There is a 15 min tape listed in WGO - maybe's that's exactly what this is?Mark wrote: ↑21 Nov 2023 12:30 So does Unterberger give much detail on what the rest of this show at...
