The late 1972 Doug Yule-led incarnation of the Velvet Underground visited England in November/December and played 9 shows - the tour was announced in the 14th October issue of the NME. At most of these shows they were the headliners, but at this concert at London's Mile End Sundown they appear to have supported ELO.
Their set was a mixture of old VU standards mixed with new songs from the as yet unreleased "Squeeze".
