The Velvet Forum

A few weeks ago I read an interview with Steve Nelson (Boston Tea Party manager) and while the talk was interesting, my attention was drawn to a few photos at the end. Most i'd seen before but the caption of the photo below stopped me in my tracks as i've never seen this discussed before....



?Still frame from video of The Velvet Underground shot by Steve Nelson at the Paramount Theatre, April 17, 1970?

I dropped a general email to mmone whether they would forward an email to Steve but didn't receive a reply. Does anyone here know anymore about this video?
Or have a direct line/email with Steve Nelson..The fact there is a screen grab is really promising..come on we'd all love to see that vid!

Good catch!

These people published a write-up by him in 2013. Maybe we can ask them.

this was mentioned in that "day by day" book by Ritchie Unterberger

the film is apparently silent, and is most (all?) of Heroin + part of Candy Says (if I remember correctly). Steve said that he wanted to sync it to the extant audience audio recording but couldn't find a good quality source for that audio....we all know that recording sounds as if it was recorded from the car park but I'd still love to see it added to the film.

^^^^ Thanks for the heads up, heres the section - well that's quite hopeful then that it might emerge one day. Wouldn't it be nice if Mr Nelson put up 20 secs on YouTube!! Theres ALOT in that day to day book for further study when i get the time..
