Simonm. I didn't notice Eric Emerson in the last sequence. And thanks for the new link.

Here's a film I saw in Fopp yesterday on DVD. A Warhol documentary by David Bailey, commissioned by British TV channel ATV, and eventually broadcast in Jan 1973. There was some controversy at the time, delaying it's broadcast date. I guess it was made the previous year, in '72.

Full DVD on youtube. Catch it while you can.

I'm ashamed to say that I remembered the flags-down-the-toilet, Brigid Polke scene, and the Warhol-in-a-bed interview scene. Maybe a universal false memory.

it's amazing how good the VU were at avoiding being properly filmed in concert (with the exception of the horrible sounding Warhol '67 film)...heck, when Nemeth filmed the EPI show in Chicago, Lou was in the hospital. Crazy that there's so little documentation of the Warhol period, given how many filmmakers there were in that scene.

According to this picture Barbara Rubin attended that EPI-Party among other celebrities,so quite easy she filmed out some bits of the event,her work since Uptight days,as fimaker.Nice got new pix around.

This looks like it's taking place in a courtroom, and they have just won their case.

By the way Taxine, who is Ray Wisniewski?

Velvet Underground perform at Filmakers Cinematheque,NY Feb.8,1966.Visible members include members Lou Reed(center)
and Welsh multi-instrumentalist John Cale(far right),the silhouette of German model-singer Nico.(pic:Fred McDarrah)

Probably this picture better show up that Up-Tight Series as the young brother of Andy Warhol's Exploding plastic Inevitable performance.Such amazing still with Screen-test films behind Velvets playin' on stage,enjoy !!


ps:The guy who's talking with Edie is a film director fellow.
