Alfredo - there are some pics of Nico at the Action House that you can see at the website of the photo agency Getty Images.
There aren't any pics of the whole band, but if I remember rightly there's Nico n Andy backstage, and Nico on stage, maybe with Gerard M or Mary W in shot, plus a guitar neck or something.
ah - here they are http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source ... o+1966&p=7
when you download them they are watermarked though ...

SURPRISE
Simon, thanks so much for the link. You are right. There are just a pic of Nico singing (very interesting as you can see the "Fender" equipment from this other group "Last Words"). I will look at Olivier´s to see if the appear sharing any bill with the VU.
The surprise is that if you fill in the seaching box with velvet underground there are 3 increadible good group pictures:
One shows the VU at stage (unknown localtion for me): Moe on drums, Lou & Sterl playing face to face. I can not see John, but you can clearly iddentify his Vox Continental Organ on the right side of the stage. Audience seems to be seated on tables and kind of indiferent.
The other two are from the Tea Party (Billy Name). There are a lot of light and you can clearly see the audience -it was packed- and a girl dancing. If you look closely the pictures, you can see John playing bass giving his back to the public!

The Last Words was a 60´s Canadian group from Clarkson Ontario, but played a lot in Toronto (Yorksville Village was the "hot spot" there).

Wow - I missed the Billy Name pics before somehow! How did that happen?
The last pic says its at a club called Trauma - so that would probably be
July 19-22 & 26-29, 1967
The Trauma, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
poster here: http://members.aol.com/olandem2/vupo670719.jpg
they played with the Beacon Street Union that night!
PS the Last Words - I have an LP on Atlantic by a group with that name from 1968 - may be the same bunch. It's kind of psych, a bit Mothers-ish, quite weird.
Some pics here - seems the Canadian Last Words split in '67, this is a New York band who later relocated to Florida (I know you like this kind of information Alfredo!)

Simon, Were did you read "THE TRAUMA" on the last pic? I have been again on the site and did not find that.
If it is correct would be great to have a pic of our heroes at a new location: The Trauma!
By the way. I changed the picture on the VUAS site "Picture of the week"section. I have been thinking and asking for a location for this picture for along, long time.
Any guess??
John is playing viola and seems to be singing!
Thanks man your time. I really love VU pics

I don't think I'd seen that Pic of the Week before, but John does look like he's grimacing/gritting his teeth - could well be the SSSSSSSSS! in BADS I think, yeah.

I would advise doing a google search for "velvet underground." You'd really be surprised what pops up. Hell, the other day while I did it I found a crapload of John Cale ticket stub scans!
